Any fans of Wax Poetics mag.
 

For those who haven't checked this magazine take a good look @ it. great in depth articles on all genres of music & it's all about wax. It also has a web site & downloads are sometimes available.

It's an expensive mag. A 1-Year subscription is $38. Baby! And a single issue is $7.99. Can I use a Borders discount coupon?

I have no clue. I agee it's a bit expensive but who says you have to buy it just to read it.

That's not all that expensive. The Wire is more, and even Ptolemaic Terrascope was more. Comparable to Wallpaper, which I'm more than happy to shell out for even though it's not a music mag and has tons of ads.
Thanks for the tip, DY.

I need a job for this 'zine. I'm sure the quality's worth it [it has to be].

Does it have ads?

Not many but all is quality, for sure. It's features all genres of music, it even cover NY 70's salsa scene & NY early Hip Hop club scene. One issue has a really good interview with Clancy Eccles & the other feature Too Short. I don't know if SY is in their older issues but I wouldn't doubt if something came up. I just started reading it about 5 months ago & I find it to be quality for those who can check it out, enjoy.

i enjoy wax poetics quite a bit. probably the best periodical on soul music ever published. it's not just about soul... but that's the meat of it. the p-funk issue was tops, great interviews with the remaining living members of the original funkadelic. i don't believe sy has ever been in an issue, at least within the last 3 or so years that i've been familliar with it.

wax poetics recently started a label- i think that their first slew of releases are gonnal be hip hop 12" singles... i can't remember who stands out, though. it has a similar vibe to Nature Sounds... or something.
