MAXIM Magazine Reviews Black Crowes' Warpaint Without Hearing The Album
2/23/08

For some folks it's easy to hate the Black Crowes. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but for a magazine to trash any CD, DVD or establishment without hearing it raises interesting questions. MAXIM, a slick-high gloss magazine, specializes in beautiful women in little clothing. They run short reviews on various artistic endeavors. Until now, the magazine showed no visible signs of publishing untruths until they wrote a review of The Black Crowes new album Warpaint without hearing it.

This story pinpoints The Black Crowes returning the favor to the magazine. I'm all for freedom of speech, but magazines--or writers--fade into grey territory when they write reviews of something they haven't heard. If this slick New York/L.A. magazine employs such tactics--and charge you five bucks an issue for it--doesn't make hardworking operations like Swampland or any artist that doesn't earn a fraction of MAXIM's income--betray their own honest and sound work habits. Folks wonder why musicians hate journalists. We never write reviews of anything we haven't heard. MAXIM sells more than a few copies across the United States. Swampland doesn't cost a thing, and--if I may bold to say--operate far above the standards of MAXIM. I'll grant you they contain better pictures of the babes, but we're in it for the storytelling...

If you want to tell the Robinson brothers they suck, go ahead. Write it in your blog or on your website--that's your privilege. Better still--listen to the record--and send their management an official email through their website. Regardless if you're spending your time wisely or not--you're still not charging anyone for these opinions...MAXIM does. So, magazines publishing reviews of music they haven't heard should insult everyone's intelligence. What if media outlets took it upon themselves to make up a story? That's in the same category as signing your name to someone else's lines, or taking the credit for someone else's cooking. This media dust-up will hopefully only sell more copies of Warpaint

There are many faces to poetic felony...

Also other best dvd loved by people is Scrubs and Desperate Housewives Seasons. In USA, people talked about Greys Anatomy most while in China, Japan, and other counties in Asia, people like True blood and Lost most.
And the famous dvd talked by man is P90x Workout, by which people can excise their body in office, working place or just at home, can be very easy and confortable.
In UK, people like to turn to Dexter most while UK people like to watch comedy movie most than other serious movie. People all over the world all like the suspense and action movie, for example: CSI NY Series. Which describe the story of Police. Some similar dvd which are about police are all have good audience rating, another master piece is Bones. Now the N0.1 DVD series in world is Ncis Cast and Big Bang Theory Gull Episodes.

replica Hublot and replica Bvlgari were suddenly provided with high fashion style for replica Alain Silberstein from a reliable brand. This Breguet watches has been one of the most successful of recent years. Essentially the model that they have created is eminently effective marketing actually backed up by replica Breguet watches product at a good price. They are ticking all the boxes and this replica Rolex Day-Date II creates a substantial amount of work but allows for continual reassessment and innovation. Practical Management One of the essential elements of Rado replica watches is a quick turn around on products. The lead time for a new replica Croum watches is only 3 months, so their 'cool hunters' can capitalise on a trend within a relatively short time. They also have product launches every six months to Vacheron Constantin replica watches. This is a logistic nightmare. But thanks to a precise stock system, based upon perceptive use of market research and advertising strategies Rolex Day Date watches have one of the lower waiting times for delivery in the replica IWC sector. This has come to be essential in a market based upon rapidly changing fashions. At any time they have approximately 1 million Franck Muller replica in stock, yet aim to sell 600,000-700,000 of this stock within Rolex Yachtmaster replica. In addition to this they will also label products for individual retailers based on their replica Hermes watches rather than replica Rolex Explorer watches. This further enables a speedy transition to the shop shelf. Franck Muller replica watches The most visible and therefore the most important element of their Bell & Ross watches is brand representation. In 2006 they had a marketing budget of £1.6 million, this increased to £1.9 million in 2007. A significant outlay which has yielded impressive results. This Tag Heuer watches is in part spent on traditional magazine advertising including features in Heat, OK, Alain Silberstein replica, Nuts and Zoo. But they have embraced new advertising realms. Noting the prevalence of media celebrity culture they have aligned their brand with a number of Gucci watches; most recently Girls Aloud, Take That and replica Rolex GMT watches. They have also sponsored television shows with anticipated high viewing figures such as Rolex Submariner replica. One of the most notable forms this has taken is the distinctive idents placed in advertising breaks, which include a number to text for your IWC watches. During the program “Cartier watches' they received 1500 texts, the highest number ever recorded for this type of Baume & Mercier replica watches. Putting aside for one moment the valuable brand exposure the ads provide, Sekonda have managed to turn TV advertising into actual sales. The effect of their Rolex Submariner watches has filtered down right through the sales network. It is rarely that a customer asks for a specific Tudor replica that they have encountered through any advertising campaign. The retailer that I work for has received unprecedented numbers of enquiries about Seksy and One replica Gucci watches solely based on the effects of the TV campaigns. The Future Sekonda have entered into the travel retail market which as well as direct sales opportunities has the added benefit of replica Burberry. Customers with enough capital to travel are a captive audience for the duration of replica Patek Philippe watches.They are highly likely to browse the in-flight magazine the products are featured in even if they do not purchase anything. Other businesses have been keen to capitalize on oris replica watches.Virgin flights had Sekonda advertising running on the back cover of the summer edition of their magazine. Sekonda now sell their replica Rolex Milgauss on a number of airlines, have flagship stores at major airports and are completing a number of deals to place shops in popular replica Rolex Milgauss watches. tourist destinations and in ex-pat communities located in Dubai, Rolex Day-Date II watches, Sharm el Sheikh and South Africa. At present U.K. consumers account for approximately half of all Rolex Day-Date II replica watches.
