So Rock! says "never mind the machine"Posted by Joel Martinsen, June 11, 2009 11:55 AM
The June issue of So Rock! magazine (我爱摇滚乐) has a modified version of Edvard Munch's The Scream on the front cover, and a t-shirt on the back: Under the silhouette of a tank on the t-shirt is the line "So you've got a tank?"

Other, more rock-related articles include profiles of Fenriz, The Gar (嘎调), and Wang Jing and Hatch (王璟&孵化乐队), and a look at this year's Strawberry and Midi Music Festivals. So Rock's irreverent attitude carries over into music as well. Here's an excerpt of a column by a new editor, the first woman to have that title at the magazine (she's apparently also the t-shirt model on the back cover):
