Bypass the Evening Standard and pick up a new free paper available in the London area. Published Mon – Fri plus a Saturday round-up PDF copies are readily available online.

Issue #1 contains an insight into the academy experience from Emma Warren, a spotlight on Southwark, and Jeff Mao on his seven years of RBMA involvement.

From RBMA blog:

World, please meet the Daily Note. Daily Note, please meet the world – which hasn’t been exactly spoiled with new quality music print reads in the past couple of years. With our daily newspaper for London, published every weekday during the Academy, plus a special national weekend edition on Saturdays, we try to add a little ink ‘n’ paper to twitterlandia. Call us old farts. Call us nostalgic. But we just loved those rides back from the record store with the latest copy of Straight No Chaser, Boy’s Own, Sniffin Glue, Jockey Slut or Faith in our hands. Obviously, who are we to compare ourselves… but, still, you might find a bit or two in there that will do for some solid toilet/coffeebreak/post-club-insomnia entertainment.
