Grand Slam

[manzo]

And, at last, it's here. Looking like a major improvment design-wise over Big Daddy.

Ah, if only they hadn't welded the cd to the font then I might have been able to get if off without ripping the cover

By strange co-incidence by copy of Wax Poetics 4 turned up today too. Looks great, but *jeez* is it a heavy read... it is getting more like an adademic textbook with every edition.

Where can I get a copy of Grand Slam then? Same distribution as BD?

<span =''>I'd assume so, but I'll check for you. You can get a subscription at www.sure-shots.com.

More info when I have it.

Word from the top:

yep, the usual outlets should have them within the
week.

So, I assume that's all the reputable independent records shops.

hey whats the cut n paste article like?

do I get a shout out

[manzo]

I don't know. One interview for Bork TV, and all of a sudden you're a media whore...

Yes, you get a name check.

Happy now?

[sermad]

haha I was a media whore waaay before that.

but now I can put my fee up ten times :biggrin: :biggrin:

[Matt Hero]

...the first part of the 3rd Bass interview (well, with MC Serch anyway) is crazy. Don't mess with The Hammer evidently.....

[Martin Lovegrove]

Is there a web site for the mag?

[Matt Hero]

Not yet, but it should be at...

http://www.gsmag.net

...when it finished.

More detail on the availability:

Cargo should have it out in the indies soon, and Virgin / HMV to follow

So, look out for it. I know I'm partially biased, but I think that it's looking good. It's a real step up from Big Daddy style wise. Give it a go, you know you want to! :biggrin:

@Sermad - you expect a fee?!? I'll give you a bell in the next couple of days, to discuss this with you.

I was drunk, and a little short of fuse, but put simply, I'm none too keen on Sure Shots at the moment, and I would recommend buying the mag elsewhere.

<span =''>Huh?  I wasn't in a 1:07am this morning, so what did you edit out Ian?!?

Mine arrived this morning and managed the considerable feat of taking my mind off the actions of that spineless runt who is apparently acting on my behalf (?). Plus the less considerable feat of making me late for work.

First impressions are that it's definitely a big improvement on Big Daddy, not least in terms of readability (and we had a sneaky peak at a good few of the pdf's before they went to press). My only gripe is that I miss Shok's covers and now it looks more like the rest of the magazines on the newsagent's shelf, which is a disappointment... And that Hammer story is ridiculous!

[Dr Rubberfunk]

Definitely looks good (and is an improvement) design / layout-wise, but I know what you're saying about similarities to other mags on the shelf ...

Content is nothing to grumble about though - enjoyed reading the whole Cut n Paste piece again...

Good work Grand Slam fellas!
