Blender And Rolling Stone Bring Metallica To India

Here’s three things that the Indian editons of Blender and Rolling Stone have in common

1. Their websites suck (Blender, Rolling Stone)
2. They are priced Rs 50 too high
3. They have Metallica on their October covers

Blender’s taken it upon themselves to whore the exchange4media mailer system like email was going out of fashion. They send mailers to announce everything, which is some times cool, and most times not. This time around, the subject line read

Blender Becomes The Only Indian Magazine To Interview Metallica

Well what a coincidence Blender. And by that I mean, HAHAHAH, ROTFL and lolcats.

Blender probably implies that an Indian journalist interviewed Metallica, as opposed to Rolling Stone’s leeching off its international issues. But unless there’s a definite answer to the question “Will Metallica play in India in 2008? 2009? 2010?” this is a blooper.
