Well, the online music mag that I worked for in NYC has gone the way of many dot.com dinosaurs.
After five years Allstar music magazine is no longer.
I'm not entirely surprised - if anything, I'm surprised it lasted this long. Not because they weren't good at what they do - they were, very - but because it's an awfully tough market. Before Allstar was affiliated w/ CD Now (this was waaayyyyyy back in the day when I was on staff - the halycon days of 1998) they were part of an online music retailer called Music Boulevard. Remember Music Boulevard? Yeah, I didn't think so. I seriously wonder how much longer CD Now is for this world....
In any case, even though Allstar and I were not a particularly good fit, I'm still sad to see them go and I wish my old editors Carrie and John the best....
