In a city that's filled with magazines that seem to only care about covering where the coolest…read moreclubs are, where the richest people shop and eat, or how to be a hip college student this magazine is clearly unique. Cheeky, irreverent, subversive and deceitfully honest, this magazine covers (or rather uncovers) aspects of Phoenix that are much less obvious than than the chic trendiness of other magazines and is so much more interesting because of this. Issues can be hard to come by since they only come out with new issues every 3 months but their site claims you can reserve issues and have them sent to you for a nominal fee. I should say that I wrote an article for hoozdo for their first issue. All writing and photography for this magazine is contributed by volunteers for the love of the game and for the love of Phoenix. Bottom line -- great read with a true subversive, big-city edge.

Dear New Times, I…read moredon't quite understand why the reviewers here are so down on you but can only conjecture how most aren't strip club aficionados, in need of a good car stereo at low, low, prices, or, have little interest in attending concert events featuring eighties bands who've been relegated to 'Behind the Music-where are they now'. But that's precisely why I love you. Without you, how would I have ever known Chesty Morgan was performing a one-night only gig at Bourbon Street? I've never seen 96FFFF tits prior to or since that day, so kudos for that one. The image of her hot air balloon tits will be forever seared into my spank bank. A triumphant five stars. As for the car stereo places featuring the 'One dollar install', what a load of shit those places are. They may only charge a buck to install, but you can get the same piece of equipment on Crutchfield Online for half the money, and, get a high school dropout to install it for a couple of blunts. So no stars for those thieving fucks. And your classifieds? I love them-particularly the variety. Men seeking women. Women seeking men. Bi-men seeking racially bigoted trans-gendered she-male dominatrix. Women seeking goats. Is there no end to your ever-growing list of deviant captions? Five more stars, but mainly for your consideration of the deviant-sex aficionado whose only outlet prior to your varietal classifieds was either NAMBLA or a henhouse. Another section of your paper I love is the call girl ads. Yet five more stars and big fat mega props to your devoting page after page to these industrious eager beavers. I can't begin to tell you how consoling it is to know that when it's my turn to host poker night, I can choose from any number of 'college coeds' to make certain my soiree is the hit of the season. Although, I can't give you a bunch of stars on this one. Not only did one of my buddies lose a stack that night at poker, he also lost his longtime girlfriend, and, with no medical insurance, his low-rent romance cost him a couple of trips to the clinic. You may want to look into this. Maybe put one of your reporters on the case, since it tends to irretrievably fuck-up people's lives when some so-called college co-ed shows up to the party with STD's powerful enough to take down a village in the Sudan. Major party foul. Anyway, overall, I have to give you high marks. Between Chesty's uber titties, 'mostly' disease-free call girls, and, seeing at least two of the original Eagles perform at some Indian Casino way the hell out in BFE, my life has only been greatly enhanced by what most here caption as an uninformative rag. I find you anything but. PS One of the call girls in your classifieds conveniently forgot to mention how she was in possession of one very large dick. This was a nice surprise. Again, perhaps fodder for one of your investigate journalists.

I made a huge mistake to get in bed with phoenix new times. I signed a contract for their local SEO…read moreservices and have been paying 350 a month to have them send me the same report I can look up on google. They show no progress to brining in more clients to my business. on top of not performing well at their job they hide the cancellation fees in the contract. when you see the contract it shows nothing about cancellation. you have to click on a link to go to another page then scroll to the bottom. Don't make the same mistake its a scam.

Phoenix Business Journal has no regard for personal privacy or ethical journalism. They profit from…read morerepublishing real estate transaction data under the guise of "public record," conveniently ignoring the fact that they are a private business selling this information to subscribers, many of whom are local businesses looking for new leads. Since my home purchase, I have been bombarded with solicitors at my door, at least in part thanks to PBJ handing out my information like a free sample. When I contacted them to request removal, I received an arrogant response from their Editor-in-Chief stating verbatim "we do not need any type of permission whatsoever in order to publish this data, nor do we remove it from the database". In other words, they are fully aware of what they're doing and simply don't care. Make no mistake, this is data brokering under the disguise of journalism. They exploit homebuyers' personal information for profit, offering no way to opt out. Their refusal to even entertain the idea of consumer choice speaks volumes about their ethics (or lack thereof). Shady business practices, zero accountability, and a complete disregard for privacy. Avoid this publication at all costs.

We all know the magazines, 944 and Java, that show us all the beautiful people at all the hottest spots and be-scene events that we missed. And we've all picked up a magazine, like LivingEtc or Dwell, that is trying to sell us the hippest modern home furnishings for that architecturally significant flat we'll never own. You may be able to think of one that covers only our local art, artists, business owners, and developers, but I can't. But there seems to be only one that brings you all of that in one spot. Kontakt is filled with architectural and interior design ideas, personal fashion, news on upcoming and past events, They cover new business developments and what to look forward to in your urban life. They bring together everything that is exciting about the Valley, with insight to who is making it happen, what else they are making happen and generally before any of it has happened. It is a really good magazine and definitely worth subscribing to and supporting. I think it was once said that "Weight+Shinny=Street Cred!" and I think that holds true in this case.
