people complain about the NME fellating the white stripes and the strokes at every given second, but every magazine has its favourite artists that they love to write about and feature again and again. or at least, the editors of each magazine have their favourite artists which they impose on their readers month after month.

e.g -

the wire - jim o'rourke
NME - the libertines, razorlight, etc
