Several people have asked
me where 1 get my in-
formation.
I find it on record sleeves,
by listening to the radio and
by reading all the music
magazines I can get my
hands on. Here's my rating
of eight different magazines.
Canadian Musician, with
its glossy pages„ is easily
read. The $1.75 magazine
deals with rock, folk, country
and classical music. The
writing style is professional,
yet easily understood.
Featured are columns for
serious musicians on guitar,
keyboards, bass, percussion,
brass, woodwinds, syn-
thesizers, vocal and
technique arranging, sound
and lighting, recording,
taking care of business,
record reviews, profiles,
product news, notes and
concert calendars. Inter-
views are handled well, but
photographs are limited.
Rolling Stone is known as
THE rock magazine and
reading is very good and
sicf at
t li� j f F T ��
adsorbing. Topics cover
national affairs, movie
reviews, random notes,
record reviews, electronics,
obituaries, the charts and
concert calendars- Pictures
are few and the magazine is
printed on newspaper which
tears easily. The $1.50
magazine seems to be an
Enquirer that branches into
rock.
Record is a tabloid rock
publication with indepth
interviews and many photos
( including 3D). Writing style
shows good vocabulary and
lengthy articles that explore
different sides of the
musician- Featured are the
three top records, American
Grandstand, London Calling,
On Stage. Sound Signatures
and the top 100 albums. Price
is $1.
Hit Parade writers use
imaginative flair in their
easy -to -read interviews. The
$1 magazine features lots of
color photos, however some
print is difficult to read on
the glossy pages. '1'he rock
magazine has words to the
latest songs and columns
include Heavy Metal Hap-
penings, Roots, That's
Unbearable, Celebrity Rate -
A -Record, record reviews,
Pick Hit, Shooting Stars,
Guitar Greats, Centrefold,
Sports Challenge, Video
View, Instrumentally
Speaking, import albums,
Rock Poll and Caught In The
Act.
Musician is a glossy paged
magazine with a
professional writing style
and great photos. Columns in
this rock, jazz, punk and
reggae mag feature music
industry news, faces, record
reviews, rock and jazz short
takes. Interview questions
are often omitted ( who needs
them?) and articles are
filled with drawl humor. The
$2.50 magazine is a Billboard
( Casey Casum et al)
publication.
Music Express is "the
pulse of Canadian rock."
Writing style is good, in-
terviews ask intelligent
Western Fair treated to first-class variety
d
Daily, Monday through
Friday, September 12 to 16 at
2 p.m. Western Fair au-
diences will be treated to
nearly two hours of first-
class variety entertainment
at the free grandstand.
The featured acts include
"Wildflower", a totally
feminine, entertaining and
energy -packed trio of
singers and musicians from
Las Vegas. Their contagious
enthusiasm expounds on
stage with dynamic ver-
satility in numbers ranging
from country hoedowns to
sultry ballads, displaying
vocal talents and musical ex-
pertise on guitar, banjo,
bass, steel guitar, piano,
harmonica and fiddle.
The Paul Brothers and
Shirley mix music and com-
edy in a side-splitting
presentation that has
delighted audiences across
Canada. The 20 -minute
costumed comedy routine is
proof again that the "good
old days of vaudeville" are
alive and well.
The Volantes -- Don
Thompson and Scott Beldin
- are one of the most
astonishing acts ever seen at
Western Fair. Their dazzling
skills at unicycle -riding and
knack for spontaneous
hilarity create a blend of
sparkling entertainment to
appeal to fairgoers of all
ages.
The lively dance routines
of the Slewfoot Cloggers will
keep toes a -tapping and
hands a -clapping, and the ir-
repressible "Aunt Myrtle"
combines country comedy
with her emcee duties to
round -out the 75 -minute
matinee performances.
As a prelude to each show,
Dan Hurld, showman ex-
traordinaire and one of the
continent's foremost
agricultural experts, will
deliver a lively commentary
as hitch teams of heavy
horses and some of western
Ontario's champion
livestock parade on the
racetrack.
Fair audiences will be
treated to an impressive
display of flashing harness
and glistening coats while
they view the rare spectacle
of four tons of horseflesh
move in absolute precision.
The heavy horse exhibition
drive and livestock parade
are sure to stimulate
awareness and appreciation
- especially for city -dwellers
-- of the major role
agriculture plays in today's
world.
Shows at 2 p.m. each day
Monday, September 12 to
Friday, September 16 are
free to fairgoers.
gazt
questions and pictures are
plentiful. The rock
magazine, with it's glossy
cover and newsprint pages
feature New Faces, Inner
Ear, Eye Scene, Rock Piles,
News and Briefs, London
Calling and regional news.
Price is $1.25.
Rock!, as its name implies
is a magazine with simple
articles on rock music,
particularly Rock 'N Roll
Update, Rock! Rates
Records and In The Grooves.
The magazine doesn't use its
own photos ( and where are
the articles?) The gimmick
is Tiger Beat and the price of
this glossy covered,
newsprint magazine is $1.95.
Creem has gone glossy and
the writing style has im-
proved immensely. Inter-
viewers know their job and
articles are filled with dry
humor. Contents cover rock,
es
new wave and reggae and
photos feature hilarious
(almost mad) blurbs.
Columns include Christgav
Consumer Guide, Rock 'N
Roll News, The Beat Goes
On, Creem Profile, letter
From Britain, Benchpress,
Extension Chords, Eleganza,
Cremedia, Creem Dream,
records, Stars Cars, Kiss and
Tell and Backstage. Boy
Howdy ( unrelated to Boy
George) is the gimmick off
this $1.95 publication.
Of all these, my favorites
are Creem, for its dry
humor; Music Express for
its regional news about all of
Canada's rock and Canadian
Musician, for supporting the
economy.
The above magazines are
available in Local stores each
month, with the exception of
Rock! which is published
quarterly where magazines
or records are sold.
