Music Mag: With a monthly circulation of 234,500 copies, from August 1992 to July 1995
MUSIC MAG was one of the “big three” PoS music magazines of the German music industry.
Browbeat: industrial, punk, jazz, classical or experimental musics.
What the hell is this browbeat? It's a zine (that's magazine for you oldsters) for noise junkies, folks who like dissonance and harshness in their music - whether it be industrial, punk, jazz, classical or experimental musics. It's published randomly with ambitions for regularity. Most of our artist interviews are in-depth and come with the obsessive-compulsives dream, extensive discographies. Ummmm...mmmm...discographies.
Besides being music information geeks, we like to excercise our myopic brains by also including articles on non-music topics we love.
What is "Nude As The News"? With respect to Cat Power, from whom we lifted the title, it's our online living room, where we can hold forth on our favorite musics with the wide-open audience of the Internet. Born in early 1999 from the computers of a couple recent Indiana University graduates, the site was started so that we could have a forum to write about music in our spare time and not be beholden to any sort of sponsorship or undue outside influence. Meaning: no ads, all editorial content.
All the writing you'll find on this site is essentially created by a group of friends, and an extended NATN family that has grown out of our readership. Nobody gets paid to do any of this stuff — it is wholly a labor of love, and stands as our collective tribute to the world of audio art. We all have day jobs and full lives, so the fact that NATN still exists is due entirely to the dedication of its writers and contributors over the years, and the music our favorite artists make, which spurs us on to comment, analyze and celebrate.
