Artrocker to give away flexi-disc – woo
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 28 January 2011
Indie music mag Artrocker is giving away the first free limited edition seven-inch flexi disc since the 1980s. Or at least that’s what the press release claims. That’s the sort of statement that usually results in 37 overly-informed CMU readers emailing in evidence that actually Slob Mag in Croydon has been giving away flexi-disks every week for two years now. And I know for a fact American metal mag Decibel starting give away the flexible records late last year.
But still, I love flexi discs, so hurrah for Artrocker. This is what someone at the magazine said (I don’t know who, they were speaking from the shadows): “People are accessing music for free on the net, so we thought we may as well give them a flexi disc so they can discover something different… it’s exciting, like you just found something. And it’s something that you need a two pence piece to play properly”.
The flexi-disc will be stuck to the front of the next Artrocker, which is out next week. Though take note, this only applies to copies of the mag bought in WH Smith, which will be stocking the mag with a different cover to everyone else. If you actually listen to the disc you’ll find music from new band Hold Kiss Kill.
