With print-media on its arse, another legendary title looks to be in a spot of bother. In a year that has seen Arena, Buck and HHC close, the NME are reporting a 25% drop off in year on year circulation.

The NME was once the most important music publication in the country. With writers like Julie Burchill and Tony Parsons, it helped helped break bands like The Smiths and The Sex Pistols. Now, it's a teeny bopper magazine full of shit bands with cool haircuts and nut-squashing jeans. The thing is, the pop charts show there is still a huge market for this type of style-over-substance poppy guitar music, so I can only assume it's the slow death of print media that is the cause.

Looks like the 'internets' have won.
