They are no longer 'new' in terms of news as you say, nor do they seem to have a coherant run for new artists or any kind of niche so they are reduced to trading on a brand name that is diminishing in terms of people who even remember the NME of old. I personally think in five years it will have joined Melody Maker in going to the wall.

Interesting though when you think about it, because "I guess you're gonna take the blame for my big mouth and my big name" does kind of have a ring of truth about these days, where NME are concerned. Obviously it's not the only cause of their monumental fall in popularity, but their constant relaying of "outrageous" Gallagher quotes and anecdotes has made them a bit of a laughing stock and, I imagine put off potential readers who are not the biggest Oasis fans.
