Add some darker colors, some random and completely illegible cursive print and a random 19th century picture of “winter in New England” and you have yourself a blogzine, my friends.
I really want this to be a real magazine. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been waist-deep in Asthmatic Kitty releases for the past month… starting to go a bit batty.
@Michaelangelo Matos: Man, Smash Hits was the best (was there a US Smash Hits too, or are you referring to the British one?)
to a ten year old, it was the coolest music mag ever, although my switch to Select when I was thirteen made me feel so grown up.
@Michaelangelo Matos: I missed the heyday, I was well into the Take That/Bros/Kylie years when I was taking my pocket money to the newsagents. I did love the fact that although they were a teeny bopper magazine by the time I was ten, they had a good mix of decent bands. I thought I was so alternative because I liked Shakespeare’s Sister.

The funny part is that Sufyawn is just as gay as any current Tiger Beat cover star.
One thing that is missing…
“WIN A DATE WITH __________!!” contest
@NewHillBilly: I think “Win a date with ANY MEMBER OF BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE” would be fitting.
@NewHillBilly: Ha. Good call. “Win a date with Ezra Koenig!”
@NewHillBilly: Well, there’s always that “Win a date at IKEA with a member of Pavement!” contest…

@moomintroll: the British one. I have the book commemorating its ’80s heyday, before I was into music mags.
Whoa, backwards day for me. Awesome.
No girls with advice on how to be more like them though? It needs Jenny Lewis style tips or sommat.

Needs to be a gallisticle.
@Silverfuture: Her or Jenny Conlee of the Decemberists. Or Shonna Tucker of Drive-By Truckers. Or 3/7 of Los Campesinos!
