 | Razorcake will send you one free issue if you ask your librarian if they would carry Razorcake in their stacks. (This offer is good for both traditional libraries and independent libraries.) To get the free issue, you must send us the librarian's name and email and the library's postal address. We will then contact them directly and donate a subscription to them. U.S. libraries only, due to postage. | |

BLACK VELVET
#43, $7, 8½'' x 12'', offset glossy, 36 pgs.
By Keith Rosson Wednesday, October 04 2006
Yowch. Sort of a wanna-be Spin from the UK. Full-color glossy cover and inside pages. The coverage seems to be a mix of (mostly emo pop) bands from England that I've never heard of, and (mostly shitty emo pop) bands from the States that I have heard of and wouldn't touch with a stool-encrusted lance. I have no desire to read interviews, record reviews, or show reviews about Eighteen Visions, Sugarcult, Hoobastank, Sebastian Bach, Bon Jovi or Midtown. I feel vaguely bad bagging on something that people have put so much effort into, but this thing fucking reads and looks like one of those glossy 8" x 10" promos that's been frighteningly morphed into magazine form. Black Velvet probably has a potential audience, but I've got a pretty good feeling said audience is not the same as those who read Razorcake. –Keith Rosson (Black Velvet, 336 Birchfield Rd., Webheath, Ridditch, Worcs.
