Phoenix Magazine goes bang

The Irish Catholic is still going strong, folks.

I was reading an article (online) about the migration of millennials back to physical media (from streaming to 4K Blu Ray discs).

Apparently it's in line with the rise of the "Film Bro".

And then blood poured from my ears.

I still buy the odd Blu Ray but, like my vinyl record purchases, it's usually something that I have seen/heard previously and enjoyed so much that I am willing to pay for and allow it to take up space in my house. Years ago, I'd buy a VHS/DVD on spec with the hope that a film was good.

i moved fairly recently. i dug out the record player and box of vinyl amd brought it with me. it’s fairly limited in its scope but it’s great to put on a record and just crank it.

i got a free ps4 from à buddy so i’m blasting out films on dvd as well. i had t watched a dvd in about six years.

Id say magazines have had their day tbh.

Used get one or two monthly or on a train journey etc. Now youd just check your phone

i used to buy mojo magazine fairly regularly but it just became ridiculously repetitive.

bowie, sex pistols, neil young, the kinks.

rinse. repeat. throw in a free cd.

Used get Q magazine sporadically back in the early 90s. There was some other magazine around the same period that gave a CD of a mix of that months releases. Cant for the life of me remember the name.

Viz annuals were another staple. Must have had hundreds of copies of Eagle, 2000ad and Judge Dredd megazine in bin bags. Probably be worth a few quid if they hadnt disappeared whenever during various moves.

Spotify and the various TV Apps are getting so expensive that people might migrate to the old hard copy. Hipsters buying vinyl can fuck off into the sea.

I was trying to get a magazine recently and ended up having to call a place in Waterford for it.

The only place in town to buy a magazine now is Easons, and their magazine section is absolute shite

One of mine literally got thousands of Euro's from CeX for his collection of blue rays when he cleared his room.

Things like his Godzilla boxsets were fetching big money

Check things out before you dump them
