1) It's got a glossy cover but the inside paper is not glossy. It is very
text dense heavyweight paper. The kind you would expect from a newsletter or
something. It also always comes with a free CD.
2) It's regular magazine size.
3) It's thick and dense. A lot of info. 95 pages approx.
4) It's mostly broken beat/nu jazz/jazzy dnb/etc. Not too much urban.
Musically it's like Straight No Chaser without some of the more obscure
jazz/funk references or maybe like a more comprehensive Xlr8r.
5) Somewhat minimal. Somewhat arty. Looks more like an art mag than say Urb.
6) A few stores nationwide carry it. Tower will be carrying it in the
future. Right now it might be easiest to get it from us (we are the US
distributor). It's around $9 most places (the cover price says $8 but that's
without a doubt wishful thinking...the only way I think you could find it
for $8 would be to buy it in Belgium...).
Some stores that carry it: Gramaphone (Chicago), Record Time (Detroit),
Other Music (NYC), Play De Record (Toronto, Canada), MC Audio (Madison, WI),
Halycon (NYC), and Waterloo (Austin, Texas).
