_Vinyl and Vodka The Magazine: Issue 2

WE DID IT!!!!

We have finally finished the 2nd issue of Vinyl and Vodka Magazine. I’m so happy because the 2 months seemed like forever! I didn’t get much sleep at all and finishing the magazine in time was always on my mind. I intended to get the issue out by the beginning of February before Valentines day (if you click through the magazine you’ll see why) but that didn’t happen, so oh well.

This issue features an interview with HEALTH and articles like The Internet and its Effect on the Music Industry, along with reviews of Tim Burton’s art gallery at MOMA. We also featured 500 Days of Summer and A Single Man.

There are 2 editorials that are in this issue, and thank you SO SO SO SO much to Shaun Scade from Scade Photography for fighting the cold and dealing with us for two days straight, shooting our models.

Again, I hope you guys share it with your friends on Twitter, Facebook, or re-post this and blog about it on your blog. Leave comments as well. This is also a free publication so if you would like to donate money or an article or idea for the next issue, we’d love your help. The Donate button is on the sidebar and my email is on the top of this page if you click “Contact”.

P.S. Be sure to download the Vodkast here and stream it while you’re reading the magazine because it will make the experience so much better!

_Vinyl and Vodka The Magazine, Issue 1

(It’s me on the cover!)
For the past two months, I have been working really hard on a side project of this blog: an online magazine. It has always been my dream to persue a career in publishing and in magazines other than blogging, and I feel like this is the right time to start to get a sense of what it’s like.

I haven’t had anyone help me other than opinions design-wise on the magazine, and it took me 2 months to finish it all which is a pretty long time for such a small magazine. But I have school and work as well, which has slowed down my process of finishing this as fast as I could. I’ve had amazing contributors who would help me out and submit articles and reviews who I have to thank a lot for spending their time and making this possible.

The magazine is mainly focused on music, but there are so fashion aspects to things as well. In this issue, there’s an article on Alexander McQueen and a spread of a Holiday Shopping Guide which will help you find a gift for someone you love! This issue features interviews from Dragonette, Freelance Whales, and Antonia Schindle from the fashion blog Live Glam Or Die. The highlight articles of this issue are “Is Indie the New Outtie”, “3 Worst Trends In Music” and a review of Where The Wild Things Are.

Also, in this issue you have a chance to win a FILTER prize pack! Read about it in the magazine.
