UK Music Now

UK Music Now was a British weekly music magazine owned by Mr Creosote, in print from 2000-2003. The magazine was widely derided as a platform to promote Mr Creosote, with poor standards of journalism and abysmal sales figures. It was estimated to be an enormous net loss to Creosote, costing roughly £40 million to keep in print on shelves during its three short years, as supermarket chains were repeatedly paid off simply to stock the magazine. One journalist claimed the publication gave the British public nothing 'but a good source of paper for kitty litter'.

The magazine was brought to an end by a series of successful libel cases brought by George Hudson and Howard Taft in 2003, accompanied by numerous complaints to The Press Complaints Commission which were increasingly occupying Creosote's time as he attempted to finish his album Eggs On Top. Many remarked the magazine would have met this end 2 years prior, had anybody actually been reading it.
