I love how this has caused a furore over here. It’s just a music magazine (albeit now at a cheaper €4.95) with a FREE CD featuring Heathers, Fight Like Apes, Adebisi Shank, Halfset, The Jimmy Cake, Mumblin’ Deaf Ro, The Vinny Club, Jape vs Delorentos and more. This country. You people. There’s also an article by myself about the Illegal Art label which talks to Girl Talk and Steinski about music copyright and sampling. it is accompanied by superb illustration from BrenB. Forget about Abba, buy it for that and tell me what you think.

    looks great. ABBA are one of my favourite bands ever, so am looking forward to picking this up when I get back to the old country.

    Go State for putting them on the cover!

    Funnily enough the HMV sticker, which sits just above the “under a fiver” line, proudly charges €5.50 for the magazine.
