Great tool to discover new music. Has put me onto a number of new to me bands.
Picked up loads for a nice price on Ebay and likely there are people still selling boxes of them
Recently I played more horrors than good, but I still have a stack to hear and the kitchen playlist is running out, so.....
Very good tracks from Uncut - 2011 The best of the year so far.
Vaguely know one or two of the names on there. Will be investigating artists after the 2nd listen

Uncut was a brilliant mag. I bought every issue from #2 onwards (I missed issue #1 somehow) until a couple of years ago. I discovered a lot of new artists via Uncut; it cost me a bloody fortune, that magazine.  I discovered Jackie Leven, Ali Farka Touré, The Handsome Family, Cat Power, Jim White, Chris Robinson, and Neal Casal in the pages of Uncut, and it's where I first read about bands as disparate as Uncle Tupelo, Calexico, and Tinariwen, and that's just off the top of my head.  |

Has Uncut ceased to be, Paul? (Or do magazines always just fold when they go squit?)
I never bought it, except the very odd time for a last minute buy of something to read on a flight.
Instead, I subscribe to Mojo but I have a similar tale to tell about the discoveries I've made and money I've spent!

It just became less relevant to my general musical tastes and I suddenly realised I was only interested in about half of the articles, so I let my subscription lapse. |

I got hold of either Mojo or Uncut, can't remember.
A couple of interesting articles in about a dozen mags for me.
The CDs a much more plentiful resource.
Mind you the next one up was the roots of Nalob Cram
Not for me, old rock and roll stuff

I bought Q right from its early days and enjoyed its more liberal approach to music after the narrowness of Melody Maker and NME. I see it's still going after all these years.
