Your Flesh, I suppose, is pretty much long gone as a print publication. That, to me, is a shame. They had some hilariously scathing reviews, and the whole 'fuck you, trendy-indie-fuck' outlook of the magazine worked for me at the time, and would work for me now. When they actually recommended something it was right on, and they've turned me on to some of my favorite writers, musicians, filmmakers, etc. etc.

It was through them that I got turned on to George Pelecanos.

Vice can be very funny, but I find its mean-spiritedness considerably emptier. Graphically, sure, it's fine but I also find it a bit ad- heavy and content light.

Anybody else have a thought on this?

Your Flesh is my second ever favorite magazine next to Sick Teen out of Green Bay. Sadly both are out of print to my knowledge although I know Your Flesh still lives on via internet magic. I don’t recall Your Flesh being overtly snarky and certainly not in the contrived hipster, frat boy outlook of Vice Magazine. I do know I got turned onto tons of great bands as well as other culture by being a regular reader of Your Flesh and their tour diaries were fucking hilarious. No contest. Your Flesh was the shit and fuck 21st century faux bad-ass, trying-hard-to-be-outrageous, reactionary-just-to-generate-controversy NYC hipsters.

I read Your Flesh from the very first issue. Peter Davis and gang brought the goods. They had substance. Vice has little.

Your Flesh, without question.

I leave a stack of old Your Flesh issues in the can to read while shitting. I loved that magazine. Bring back the print version!

Vice? Never looked at an issue.

Vice is stupid.
I don't know anyone who thinks it's funny or interesting.
It's like one of those girl fashion magazines for annoying hipster dudes.

Your flesh by a mile.

i've seen vice and liked it...i've never heard of your flesh...great name...

Your Flesh...that sounds like they took that name from a Swans song or two.

My old band got crucified by Your Flesh, who incidentally were correct. I still have the issue 'cause that shit was funny. Your Flesh.

Your Flesh v. Vice?!? WTF kind of a lame-ass contest is this?

How about Your Flesh v. Forced Exposure? Now there's a Thunderdome for you.
