I owe you guys a huge apology... I was digging through some old archives from the Jukebox, and that’s a whole different beast entirely... ugh, I hate it when I get too superficial.☕

Personally, I was more into that classic American "Rock" scene from the eighties, born out of the weirdest magazine format ever—kind of like a newspaper version of Chile... haha. It was called "Strip 82," which actually evolved from a comic book mag called Dennis. On one hand, you had comics, but on the other, you had these killer rock pages. Over time, it took on a vibe similar to the old Start, with serious editorial standards, high-quality paper, and a legendary group of journalists. It really hit its stride in those final issues when Dragan Todorović was editing; he wrote my absolute favorite column, "Songs I Don't Dance To." Then, somewhere around that messy year of '89, it rebranded as "Pop rock," and everything just went downhill fast. Luckily, the scene was briefly saved by an American outlet called "Rhythm," and a bit later, the first few issues of the American "Heroin news"...

We all know how music journalism turned out after that... "Nomad" could have been the definitive voice for an entire generation if it hadn't been for that obnoxious "I'm-so-deep-and-better-than-you" attitude....

Jukebox was obviously a pioneer... but looking back now, as someone who’s read and written enough articles to fill a library, I think the only reason it still matters is because the internet can handle way more than paper ever could. In this digital age, it makes sense, because honestly, some things just need to wait for their time...👋

Just look at what happened to Bakic's "Koox"....

What do you guys think about that iconic scene where Jack Black plays "Katarina and the Waves" in "Hi-Fi" (both in the book and the movie) to smash things up in a convenience store on a Monday morning...

They were kind of the pioneers back in the early eighties, I guess. 😂 🙂
