Naturally it covers gigs predominantly in the UK because it's a UK magazine.

yeah the cover stars are the poppiest, but somehow i couldn't get through the articles cos i was like "wtf are they talking about??". now you know why i posted this on the "upopular opinions" thread.
funny thing-- after ranting about this i went to the website and discoverd i like the unedited transcripts posted there. but paying $100+ a year for a magazine from which i read only a couple of pages per issue (towards the end) was what killed my hopes, i think.

ha ha-- there's that problem too. it's easier to read about things that have a content that is easily referable through language, like movies or book reviews.
