Customer Reviews of Wax Poetics

Absolutely the best music journal I've ever seen!
The "intelligentsia" who calls himself "A Magazine Reader" probably should call himself "Republican" because he comes off as an efete elitist snob. This music journal has something for everybody, whether you're interested in music, sociology, cultural anthropology, graphic arts, humor, journalism, and That's just a sampling. There are some really cool advertisements to boot. I'm not even scratching the surface. <

>Just for hip-hop enthusiasts!? That statement does a real DIS-service to the magazine. 'Cause if you really buy that notion, you cannot explain the magazine's coverage of blues, jazz, soul, funk, as well as R&B, Latin, country-western/folk, and whatever seems cool to lump into what's great about the music we like to discover. <
> <
>Here's a hint of how important it is. Every issue sells out and is therefore sought after by many who don't have the foresight to pay a few dollars upfront to subscribe (which would provide the needed security for its editors to continue doing that voodoo they do so well). <
> <
>There are the articles that deal with cinema, record cover graphic arts, blaxploitation issues. Over its short tenure this journal has covered all of the above, more, and its going to reach much farther before it's all over. <
> <
>I love the job being done by Andre Torres, Brian Di Genti, Kevin DeBenardi, et al. Keep it up guys. Keep it way up. <

>If any of what I've said sparks even a little of your interest, do not stay away from this magazine. Check it out by any means possible.
