Magazines - Praise & Hate

After Arena and Buck effectively shut down earlier this year in their existing formats, a new magazine actually launched this month (making it two in as many months, after Wired launched in April). An off shoot from ex-Liverpool Centre Half Phil Babb's moderately successful Golf Punk publication, Football Punk will be available monthly. Steven Gerrard covers the first proper edition of the magazine (the above was a one-off given away with Golf Punk) and costs only 2 quid to begin with. Get stuck in, it's a good read. Which is more than I can say for this...

Click the image for a close-up of this abject fuckery. Nice bracelet tough guy. Now go and make a song about how shiny it is and how much it cost... and this is a Hip Hop music magazine?!? Jesus... although I'm a supporter of the music culture, the writing is clearly on the wall.
