Information About the Webzine

Failure by Design Magazine is a magazine that is centered around "alternative" music. Whatever you listen to, we probably support your scene. The central focus used to be around local bands and unsigned, but now we've expanded to bands you already love and want to hear from. We also want you to help with the website. If we're missing something, let us know. Any bands we should include? Let us know! Failure by Design is your online source for your music!

Failure by Design Magazine originated on AOL as an eZine (woah, one issue! impressive, eh?) and expanded (via Oh God, I can't handle e-mailing this out weekly!) onto my domain, Charlie Girl. I am considering buying a domain for the magazine and possibly changing the name, but I think we'll stick with our current alias until Brand New desides to sue me because I stole the name from one of their songs (duh, Failure by Design from the Your Favourite Weapon album).

Help keep us up by visiting my mom's eBay page (where she sells clothes and clippings from magazines--great for your fansites!) or Failure Merch (buy clothes and support us, because you love us and want to help us buy a domain) and buying something! The money will help me with the site (Failure Merch) or just help keep food in my family's mouth (eBay)! =P

Want to see a picture of our mascot, Paris Nicole L.? The cat is hardcore, and I mean hardcore. Just remember, this is just my baby girl, she's adorable. You may/may not agree with the hxc thing, but oh well. Just for fun. Click here

Do you have any questions about the magazine or anything to say to me? You can E-mail me, IM me (Sarah) or just leave a note at the message board. I'm a fairly easy to talk to and reach type of person.

Thanks to haloscan, we now have a commenting system. Woo!

* (from front page) Failure by Design is neither anti- or pro-Bush. I believe strongly it is purely up to you to decide in what you believe, thus the reason I have posted the link to two of the main punk voting websites.

Compilation

The compilation is now on sale. The only issue is: you can't buy it on Cafepress. CafePress.com decided to be evil and not allow me to upload MP3s for some unknown reason. So whenever I get cable internet (the end of this week), I will move the comp onto there or onto another website similar to CafePress. For now, you can just e-mail me for information about purchasing the comp! It's only 7 dollars... There are 11 bands on the comp. Want the track listing? Here you go:

As Hearts Fall... track listing
1. Weatherby - You and Me and Understanding
2. One Last November - Reason Why
3. Nerd Riot - Love Lexicon
4. Dead Star Diary - Goodbye
5. The Acidic Front - Scarlett
6. Down and Out - All Alone
7. Turfwar - Chrome to the Dome
8. Caustic - Persistant Paranoia
9. The Accidental Me - Crimson Cross
10. Train the Living - Intricate Patterns
11. A Healing Season - Better for Being Bitter

I will ship out your CD within three days of your order. All profits from the CD will go to purchasing a domain and a proper message board for Failure by Design. After that has been accomplished, it will go to helping improve the site further. None of the money will go toward any of the webmasters of Failure by Design. All the money will be spent on the website and on the fans!
