[Closed] Word Magazine

so the next issue will be the last...

I for one find this very very sad, as a fan of music I have been introduced (and reintroduced) to a whole raft of music by this magazine, will anything replace it or will it all go mainstream and thus there will not be an independent publication of its ilk again?

Any pointers on what to read now? (whilst listening to the excellent free cd and drinking my morning espresso)
