Review lame game, lift same

Heck, I'd even be happy to see some more jazz reviews, so long as they are not all about the same person. And some of the reviews are a bit old...However, I do have to say that the How To sections are often quite good, especially the one on negotiation. And the Business section is interesting, though not relevant to me. Excuse my rambling, you get the idea. I'm still reading...!

Keep it up

Claire, Brunswick

The editor replies: Thanks for your comments, Claire. We are currently working on expanding the genres we cover, and improving the timeliness of reviews, although we are not enslaved to the idea that a review a week old is a dead thing. For example, we are hoping to do an issue featuring early music soon. And we review a whole jazz festival in this edition!

We especially appreciate your feedback because we would like to constantly improve and vary the "mix" of the magazine. For example, you'll notice that in this issue there are rather less reviews - this is something that may well vary from issue to issue. Excuse my rambling, you get the idea...

Crisis, which crisis?

...continued from front page

. Sometimes our crises are domestic and personal. The Clinkerfields discover that beer is better than niceness, and both are better than hangovers. And you may find solace in our Certified Ads where, it seems that cliches are cheap, there is nothing better than a pre-loved cart horse, and the second-hand love market is booming.

We say farewell to Kristy Theissling, who in her short time with us has contributed a brilliant and blinding snowstorm of reviews. She is now editing the underage-oriented Push publication Anyzine.

We also extend out best wishes to Steve Smith, a regular how-to contributor. For health reasons, Steve will not be contributing to The Dues for some time.

We say hello to Emma Waters, who will be contributing reviews and interviews - check out her story on Jimmy Little and Vic Simms in this issue.

Till next time, may all your crises be productive crises.
