NME Magazine

In this week's NME

It's greyer than soggy cardboard outside so we've locked ourselves inside London¹s trendy Blue Fin building to combat SAD with a bumper new issue of NME.

Inside this week's magazine you can see Queens Of The Stone Age literally get sent to the salt mines, Alex Kapranos write a West End musical, Pete Doherty record his solo album, My Chemical Romance bring central London to a standstill, The White Stripes dress up as bullfighters and cover star Morrissey gives his most contentious interview in years...

Plus! Find out where to see Radiohead are rehearsing their festival set for
next Summer, discover who's playing the Shockwaves NME Awards Shows 2008, get the lowdown on the best indie-themed New Year¹s Eve parties and find something to do on every night of the week, with 625 gigs listed in the world's biggest live guide.

Oh, and you can listen to NME as well in the form of our new 2-CD jamboree compilation of some of 2007¹s biggest tunes that's on sale now.

Featuring selections from Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Amy Winehouse, The Killers, Babyshambles and 34 other acts, the Essential Bands 2007 collection is the perfect one-stop shop for all your indie needs and a tonic for this miserable November weather.
