Every weekday, Splendid's Departments bring you the best of everything else Splendid covers: we explore the world beyond your stereo in &, roam the live music scene in LIVELINE, sample the wares of independent publishers in BOOKSHELF, and more! See your favorite artists in an entirely different light in POINTLESS QUESTIONS, and witness our attempts to freshen the sagging Music Lists genre with THAT DAMN LIST THING. There's enough stuff here to keep you happy for a long time... |
 | POINTLESS QUESTIONS | We ask your favorite bands the questions no-one else asks. Random, perplexing and often oddly enlightening. |
|
|
|
|
 | THAT DAMN LIST THING | Every other zine has a "Best CDs List." Normally, we go out of our way not to be like every other zine. In this case, we're jumping on the List wagon. Indulge us. Besides, our Lists are better. And less predictable. |
|
|
|
|
 | & (THE WORLD BEYOND YOUR STEREO) | Zines, books, movies, DVDs, comics and who-knows-what else -- & takes you beyond the music for reviews of... well, everything else. |
|
|
|
|
 | BOOKSHELF | Thousands of books are released each year by
presses representing communities and viewpoints not always found in your
local MegaBookMart. Each month, Bookshelf will spotlight a different press,
with reviews of fiction, poetry, cultural writing and more, providing a
valuable guide for those interested in expanding their reading horizons. |
|
|
|
|
 | THE ESSENTIAL ALBUMS | There are great albums, and there are great albums. Our writers discuss the classics, the obscure-but-perfect treasures and the ten-out-of-tens that belong in every well-rounded music collection. |
|
|
|
|
 | GUILTY! | Far more than just our writers' guilty pleasures -- Guilty! spotlights obscure and often singular delights, weird and wonderful oddities and albums that, while decidedly not classics, hold a special place in our writers' hearts. |
|
|
|
|
 | SHORT TALK | In the course of acquiring articles to fill our weekly feature interview slot, we've accumulated a number of pieces that are too short to use -- but other than the length problem, they're usually worthy of publication, and certainly worth the modest effort required to read them once. We've launched Short Talk as a way of getting them out there. Short Talk will debut in mid-October. |
