(1) Connected Magazine(posted over to me by a mate as am now in uk) (2) its focus is about music: no football, porn ads or celebrities sittin on toilets(hotpress amanda bruckner issue) (3)interviews with currently listened to artists, album reviews, news pieces (4) does cluas count? (5) indie/alt, swedish pop-indie acts (some great un-sung ones)classical & 70's (6) lack of decent journalism in the most noteworthy mag we(ireland) have/biased views in relation to artists due to said magazines relationship with a certain unsaid promoter/music magazines which are not primarily focused on music (7) sometimes - more so to discover who is being talked about (8) Connected is working in the right direction/more european acts talked/explored/discovered (9) Text based - pictures are an essential add on however (10) 2-4 per week (11) no particular area in my preferred mag are ignored other then european (12) magazines in the uk in relation to irish prices are cheap (13) not in the least hope this helps
