Is This The New Smash Hits?

Popworld Pulp, launching in a couple of weeks as a new music WEEKLY (v bold).

Looking at its MySpace it doesn't seem to be offering anything hugely compelling though.

Does anyone here still buy print music media, out of interest?

I never did buy print media! Apart from Just 17 and Sugar. Hence my patchy knowledge of all things musical. I've bought the NME once or twice (many years ago) just for something to read on a long train journey but that's about it. I never bought Smash Hits (too pop for teenage indiekid Kat) and I didn't really know about Melody Maker. I found out my pop news by reading Planet Sound teletext! That was free!

Me neither! I've paid money for about three music mags ever in my life, all because they had Tori/Bjork/PJ on the cover. I bought Vibe magazine about a month ago because Ciara was on the cover and it was in the name of research.

God, I miss Planet Sound. We don't have the teletext anymore.
