State Magazine

Before we start (and seeing as lack of coming clean in journalism/blogging bugs the hell out of me), full disclosure...I know people working on the magazine. So, this is just a general post to mark the launch of State Magazine. I haven't seen it yet, but I intend buying it later. It is, apparently, a glossy in the vein of Uncut, Q, etc (funny how Hotpress redesigned into a similar format a few weeks back, no?!Oh, and how their front cover this week is Michael Stipe, the same as [the monthly] State Magazine)which makes a change from the usual products released in the country (with the honourable exception of Foggy Notions). So, in short, competition is good and congratulations to the guys in State for aiming high.
