b&n magazine is a free and independent zine originally from Germany, now based in Manchester, UK. We're trying to keep it monothematic, which mostly doesn't work out. The articles are either in German or English (or both sometimes) and deal with everything vague related to popular culture, music, politics and feminism.
In terms of printed versions of b&n magazine, there’s some news!
First of all: b&n #5 is finished, done, finit and fertig, and you can find it at cafes, bars, records shops and at gigs around Manchester. I took some down to the Pavement ATP with me last weekend (review will follow in the next couple of days, I had to recover first) and they were all gone within 10 minutes! Thanks to everyone who picked one up and hopefully didn’t throw it away.
This issue’s theme is: “There’s no fucking rules, dude” and it deals with rules, laws, regulations, and stereotypes of all sorts - and how we break them. If you can’t find one or would like to get a few copies for your town, email me to bunmagazine@gmail.com and I’ll sort it out asap!
In other news: We’ve contributed to the Salford Zine Library (see post below), rather accidentally by walking past their stall at the Sounds from the other city festival. Unfortunately, I completely missed their “Stomach Pump” titled launch party, it did look very nice indeed. Folks over at Comfortable on a tightrope wrote about it and if you look closely, you can find one of our b&ns (issue 4) nicely aligned with its fellow zine friends in the picture. We feel flattered! Will try and bring down issue 5 at some point as well.
That’s it from me for today.
