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.

PerformerMag: Offers musicians an online resource for information about the art and business of the music industry.
Performer Magazine, the nation's largest musicians' trade publication, highlights the best unsigned and independent musical acts from the U.S. Performer is dedicated to supplying our readership with the kind of industry information and motivating interviews they need to get ahead. Through focused editorial covering everything from the latest gear to marketing your band on a shoestring budget, Performer meets the needs of active recording musicians.
Performer Magazine consists of three separate, regionalized editions published each month: Northeast, Southeast, and West Coast. Each edition is free and contains live show and CD reviews, artist spotlights and feature and cover articles specific to the region. All submissions receive equal editorial consideration.
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.
