yeeeesss the 'zines will make it down to the shop... just not quite yet. So you can sit still, which i'm sure you are well doing anyway... try being stuck in willy-b.... the bridge is HELLA COLD, my friend.

**Nick Cope** · 22-12-2005, 07:19 PM

Will do, sir. Can you hold a copy by for me when they show up? Ta!

And for the record, I live in Greenpoint! I don't think I could handle Williamsburg. Everything is so carefully thought out hipster there, every inanimate object is product specific to fuck, never mind the people. You could never relax there... I was just saying to someone else that it's just like Hoxton about four or five years ago. If you've seen Nathan Barley, then it's EXACTLY like that right now - hilarious!

**dave_kinky** · 22-12-2005, 07:21 PM

Anyone know if this will be downloadable like the last one?

Ah sod it should be in Manchester over Xmas week hopefully pick one up in Fat City again if I can talk other people into going into City Centre rather than Trafford Centre! Brrrrrrrrr don't like malls!!

yesss I hear you and i've been tirelessly saying that for years, even before I moved here, just visiting (been in NY for 2.5 yrs now) ... but then you realize that the money sprawl is not just specific to Bedford Ave L stop (mind YOU I also do live in East Willy B... metro/bushwick area) hang out in the Lower East Side long enough and you will realize that Ludlow is still an art-scum-circus strip -- but $$$ has replaced the authentic (art)damaged talent that once made the area so infamous... then you step outside of Manhattan... outside of New York... and into many other towns and cities that are suffering from corporate-urban-corridor syndrome... again money speaks hence money sprawls...

It is still quite amusing because less than 8 years ago you'd had to of paid the average 'young professional' to live in Williamsburg.... South W-B is still pretty rough tho, and more condensed with project-life, as the latino and black population has been pushed further into the cut...

AND "for the record" I am a gal -- not sure if you were dropping 'sir' as a general gesture

see you around!

**Nick Cope** · 22-12-2005, 09:15 PM

Er, I'll take general gesture.

**Beaver** · 22-12-2005, 11:00 PM

Andy,

How can I grab a couple of copies man?

Cheers

Beaver

**wms68** · 23-12-2005, 12:54 AM

You can get the first two issues (May-Aug & Aug-Oct) in PDF format from the B-Music web site News archive at

http://www.b-music.co.uk/news_archive.html

Both are in the top half of the of the page, and are very interesting reads.

**Rich Hero** · 29-12-2005, 04:41 PM

Good stuff as ever. And a pleasant antidote to the Wax Poetics that I also picked up last weekend.

**pc1** · 07-01-2006, 09:10 PM

How can i get a copy? I sent a SAE last time, but there no mention of this on the B-Music site this time.

Cheers

**Delay 68** · 09-01-2006, 10:53 AM

If those lazy bastard tube drivers don't scrap my plans, I've got a stash of mags with me for tonight's Brillo - only one pint a piece...

**left hand corner** · 09-01-2006, 11:03 AM

The B:Music boys and girls get a lot of praise on VV. Well, I'm joining in with this love-in. I recently acquired the latest magazine after buying the Sitting Target LP. What a good job they've done. Lovely design. The odd article. Top tens! Top stuff.

The Sitting Target LP is also superb. Real quality soundtrack.

Damn them for their skills.

The wife picked up a Wax P the other day, the one with an Axelrod interview. The interviewer was kind of a moron, don't you think? looking forward to picking up the new B-mag...

Funnily enough that interview bugged me too (Egon wasn't it?

). It seemed like Axe wasn't too keen on having his work over-intellectualised. And I'm none too sure about the 'father of fusion' angle. Plus there wasn't a great deal of content in the rest of the mag either.

Got the b-music mag the other, very good read, particulary like the Can and GB 45's pieces.

Looks like they've kindly put the electronic version of it on their site now aswell.

Yeah and pretty pricey too - I got more value out of the Old Grey Whistle Test DVD I bought at the same time and it was the same price

the tax and shipping from usa costs about £2.50 a unit on that mag, still pricey though i guess

Are you crackers?
Did you not read the BLOWFLY interview?

**Soul-Fiend** · 14-01-2006, 07:41 PM

W.P always overdoes it. Awful writing, consistently sixth form. Shame.

It wasn't Egon, he interviews pretty well - knows almost more than the guy he's interviewing half the time... It was someone else, and before this gets out of hand, I should say that it was more like it started out with some dumb questions but did get better later on. It's just that he kept asking about how this and that break came about, and then kept asking until Axelrod basically told him to shut it.

You're right Andy, WP has a lot of god awful writing in it, but the "journal" is such a nice shape. What makes me laugh the most though is how it considers itself too high brow to include DJ lists, but will gladly waste space with not one but two multi-page lists of some rather boring records, actually there were three including Gille's picks. And actually Will's choices were good. I'm a liar. Everyone loves DJ lists - that's the bottom line. But screw the 'intellectual' lists. I loved the Big Daddy lists.

The Blowfly interview wrote itself. You just let Clarence talk, and he's a great talker!

In order, yes and no.

I almost gave up the will to live halfway through the piece about The East so I haven't yet read the Blowfly interview. But I will, if it'll improve my sanity.

And it is Egon and B+ on the Axe interview, Nick. Which added to the disappointement with the interview.

It's bad enough that they seemed to get Axe all grumpy and pissed off with them - but to then record all that as part of the finished article seemed a tad odd
