NME to close print edition after 66 years
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2018/ ... c-magazine?
From the age of 12 I bought whatever I could find in the local newsagents when I had money.One week Record Mirror then Melody Maker, Sounds, Smash Hits even and of course NME which I eventually bought religiously till about 1998/9 maybe a bit later. It was part of my lifeblood and informed, annoyed and inspired me, told me about gigs and new records and compiled peerless tapes, I Dreamt I Was Elvis, We Have Come For Your Children and the rest. I stopoed when I realised itvwas a habit but the end of it in print feels sad even though I haven't even bothered to pick up the free copies lately. I still have about 12 years worth in the garage, all my days gone by
