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?

Music, mostly, which is the error which 90% of magazines make by instead blithering on about "lifestyle" and having a review section that makes More magazine's looks extensive. I don't care what the Sugababes are wearing, I want to know when they're going to release something halfway decent etc. I like reading reviews and going out and buying an album I've never heard any of and then getting very excited when it's brilliant (or wondering if I can even bring myself to eBay it, on the basis this would entail admitting I'd paid money for it in the first place, in the case of the IdiotPilot crapfest) and basically, that is absolutely all I want it to do. Have a few interviews, by all means but mostly I want it to talk to me about music.
