Having trouble remembering the names of all the delightfully quirky magazines that tiptoed out of our lives (and our newsstands) this past year?

Well, just remember "NCLPJCSB." And if that still doesn't jog your memory, we've come up with a delightful bluesy song-slash-mnemonic device to pay tribute to those somewhat forgettable titles of yesteryear.

Our slightly-awkward musical endeavor, after the jump.

"The Newstand Blues"

Nick Jr. Family Mag filed for divorce
Child magazine was aborted
Life expired, it's curtains for Premiere
"That's so Jane" jokes are thwarted

They got the newstand blues
They can't pay their dues
You won't find them at the corner bodega
Next to Village Voice editor Tony Ortega
'Cause baby, they're yesterday's news

Cocktail gets drained, Stuff gets Maxim-ized
Business 2.0 up and closes shop
And that's what happens when your fave mags
Are all (rock) bottoms instead of tops

They got the newsstand blues
They can't pay their dues
They're straight off the rack
And they ain't coming back
'Cause baby, they're yesterday's news
