I cannot wait to hear this new album from Forgive Durden. It's a musical called Razia's Shadow. It features a lot of players on it that I presume are guests (I don't recognize Danny Stevens, Lizzie Huffman, Thomas Dutton, Nic Newsham, Greta Salpeter, and others) and is narrated by none other than Aaron Weiss. I am so curious about this.
I read about this in an ad in the new issue of Alternative Press. I really enjoy that magazine. It's jam packed each issue with lots of music and cultural stuff. The few staff members I've met are really nice. For the past few years they have really been my closest competition. I wish I had their circulation numbers! I think they have between 125,000 and 200,000 copies printed per issue. They do a really good job. Even a few years ago when CCM was still being printed, I felt like AP and Revolver were closer competition, because they each give so much press to Christian rock/hard music/metal/hardcore bands. The coverage is fair, too, treating these bands as equals on the musical playground.
I would like to market HM Magazine harder and in a broader sense, like running those funny commercial spots we have on Fuse TV and MTV2. If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know.
