I haven't seen it yet, but it sounds like a cool new magazine.
http://www.lagmag.com/what.html Issue #1 is nearly complete! We are looking at a release date in early March. All the content for both the magazine and the record has been assembled, the design is well underway, and the record is being mastered and pressed as I write this.
Here is what you can expect:

Features and/or Interviews with Robert Pollard, Craig Finn, Emil Beaulieu, The Wrens, The Long Winters, Mates of State, Jay Ryan, and AFrames.
