[atlantaprog] Re: Progression

I usually see Progression at the Borders at Cobb Pkwy and Cumberland Blvd and 
I pick it up there occasionally.  I would personally advise against 
subscribing, unless you're just a lot more charitable, patient and good hearted 
than I, 
simply because the publication schedule is so insanely erratic.  The issue 
that just came out was originally supposed to be out in late summer of 2003.  I 
have no problem with a delay of a month or so, but when a publication is 
consistently 4-6 months late then I prefer to just buy as I see the magazine 
and 
feel like it instead of paying up front for a subscription.  

Also, you have to read the album reviews *very carefully* because the album 
rating system is inflated and and just about everything gets a positive review 
seemingly just for being prog in many cases.  I ordered a few dogs that I was 
lucky to be able to unload for a couple of bucks at Book Nook before I figured 
that out.  Learn from my mistake.  I trust the opinions I read online more.

One magazine on the newstand that I can recommend wholeheartedly is the new 
issue of Mojo, which has Frank Zappa on the cover and a nice feature 
commemorating the 10th anniversary of his death.  I haven't seen a tribute like 
that in 
any other publication, so it's really nice that Mojo has chosen to mark the 
event.  Get down to Borders, Barnes & Noble or Tower Records, which are the 
only 
places that carry Mojo around here AFAIK, and snag that one pronto if you 
have a hankering.
