Do you have a product or service you’d like to promote to our readers? Maybe an upcoming album or song release? Maybe a cool new app or merch item?

Once a week I make a simple pitch to everyone that reads this website: if you like it, could you help support us? Running this website is my full-time job and it’s because of readers like you that we can remain independent and keep publishing. There’s a few different tiers of support that work out to basically pennies a day. And being a supporter comes with cool perks (like Dark Mode, special forum enhancements, and much more), but beyond that your support means this website and forum can continue to exist. You can learn more here.
Thank you to all of our current supporters and all the readers that make this website possible. I love running it, and it’s because of all of you that I truly feel like I have the greatest job in the world. Thank you.

Penske Media Corporation has acquired a controlling stake in Wenner Media, the publisher of the famed Rolling Stone magazine, the companies announced on Wednesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the investment values Wenner Media at roughly $100 million, according to a person familiar with the deal. BandLab Technologies, a Singapore-based music technology company, will retain a 49-percent stake in Rolling Stone that it acquired last year.
