I've personally not seen it sold in the UK, even in Borders, which imports a lot of American magazines. :) In the UK, Ecto friendly magazines would be more like Word, maybe Mojo, maybe Maverick (the latter for the more folk/country types), maybe Froots (definitely more traditional folk/world) and others of that ilk.

I'm pretty sure that British Diva would be a perfect match - http://www.divamag.co.uk/diva. It's a monthly and glossy lesbian/queer magazine, actually, but they support edgy female singer/songwriters of all sexual orientations by including an in-dept interview in each issue. I remember reading abour Laurie Anderson, KD Lang, Tegan and Sara, Sharleen Spiteri and Pink in the past. The magazine is distributed all over Europe. It's highly recommended.

In this day and age, why limit ourselves to print, though? The online magazines are more likely to accept submissions from freelancers anyway, I should think. Salon? Slate?

Ecto lives! Thanks for all of the suggestions. She's just in the very beginning phase of research. She has a lot of music to listen to and a lot of things to read and digest before even beginning the interview Happy/writing the article phase. I think it could be good (to read and for Happy). I'll pass all of these suggestions on to her. I didn't ask about Australia, but if anyone down there has any suggestions, bring 'em on. I didn't know that Melody Maker folded. Wow.

LOL! Oh my gosh! That is funny. I thought it was based in the UK because the first person to ever mention it to me was from there. I wondered why it wasn't large and oversized like so many UK magazines. Wow, I really have no idea then what UK magazines would be good.

Or perhaps even more appropriately for Wired, how the Internet played a significant role in promoting Happy, and before the Internet boom began in the mid-90s, at that. On the other hand it's been a long time since I tried to read Wired because they seem to like horrible eye-bleeding layouts. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #275 ***************************
