R.I.P. A Sad Day In Music Land

First Idolator reported that thirteen year old magazine No Depression is calling it quits.

Then All Hip Hop reported that label TVT is filing for Chapter 11, and while the label is claiming to not quite be done yet, I can hear the death rattle from here.

Finally, The Daily Swarm is reporting that indie rag Resonance is done as well.

I could try and make a joke in here somewhere, but really, this is just sad news all around.

Comments

Eh. No Depression would have to totally reconfigure itself anyway (like three years ago) to stay even the remotest bit relevant to anything, including its Americana raison de etre, which has arguably progressed faster than the magazine. And I really thought Resonance was just kind of an embarrassing indie glossy also-ran.

long live END HITS!
