THE GUARDIAN *HEARTS* DISORDER

FROM THE GUARDIAN MUSIC BLOG

“Those of us who thought we’d wait forever for a British music magazine with the cojones to put N-Dubz on its cover will take much less compromised satisfaction from the 29th edition of Disorder. Not only has this east London-based fashion and music title finally given the capital’s number one pop/grime crossover the exposure they deserve. But grandly named editor Taylor Glasby has come back from the interviewing frontline with the reassuring news that success is not going to change Fazer, Tulisa and Dappy: “You’ll [still] see me on a Camden town estate in a Ford Fiesta L-reg,” the former insists, “holding it down with a couple of people that don’t have much to live for.”

Disorder proclaims it adherence to all that is young and unfettered by putting its binding along what would normally be the top, rather than the side, and having its pages read in length-wise landscape rather than upright portrait format. But there is actually something genuinely refreshing about the way this magazine sloughs off the initially liberating but ultimately corrosive cynicism of Vice in favour of student-friendly guides to fun things to do in the Brick Lane area.”

Thanks very much Guardian types. We like to have lovely things written about us.
