Final Words
Two of America's more respected music magazines, New York publications New York Rocker and Trouser Press, have ceased publication recently. For the Rocker it was second time around the magazine had folded last year because of persistent debts. On its resurrection under new editorship the magazine only managed two issues before sinking back into the murk. All is not lost, however, as Ken Barnes’ ‘Stranger In Town’ Column (in which the writer’s enthusiasm for New Zealand music often bubbles eloquently over) has been taken over by Creem magazine. The first column in its new home (June issue) contains a rave about our own Sonya Waters. ‘‘Persistent financial problems and lack of enthusiasm to continue production” led to the shutdown of Trouser Press in April.
