full-length Find Your Home, they continue to sweat their sexually driven lyrics all over hip-shaking rock & roll. In a similar fashion to indie bands the Go and the Greenhorns, the foursome fuses 70s-era Rolling Stones blues-rock with Velvet Underground-styled psychedelic garage jams. Frontman Rex John Shelverton sounds like a young, American Mick Jagger, strutting his emotional damage through feverish wails and come-ons while his band sways moody, narcotic rhythms around him. With this sophomore release, Vue pull from some of the most talented bands of the past to become a talent in their own right for the future. --Jennifer Maerz

Your Home magazine is a brilliant mag for the home-lover! It gives so much advice and hints & tips on how to create a beautiful home on a budget. The mag has 130 pages to give guidance and ideas for bringing the home to life and is aimed at the 'normal' person who doesn't have thousands of pounds to spend on a lamp or a rug..! It's not a typical 'show-house' mag at all.
Each issue is full of ideas like how to get the correct lighting for your needs or updates for your kitchen and bathroom, loft conversions and beautiful bedrooms and easy to achieve garden style.
Linda Barker from 'Changing Rooms' and 'House Invaders' gives a monthly decorating masterclass within the mag and The House Doctor herself, Ann Maurice helps to update and brighten up a room in a lucky reader's home. There are loads of real homes & makeovers featured, practical home solutions, home improvements,and a letters page whereby you could win a £150 star prize if your letter is published as the Letter of the Month.
My favourite monthly makeover idea is the category called 'No-money makeover' and each month gives an area of a reader's house a makeover with little or no cash! One of my favourite room makeovers was in an issue last year and featured a reader's hallway that was quite drab and dated but given a makeover by Your Home's stylist Jane Kharade and made to look fantastic. Jane painted under the dado rail in the hall and up the stairs in Morroccan Red Duracoat for a tough finish and then Corn vinyl silk on the rest of the walls to brighten the whole area up. Next she painted the woodwork and skirting in Brilliant White Satinwood. Jane found an under-used chest of drawers and oiled and painted them to co-ordinate with the wooden floor and the walls. Adding the same colour scheme to the telephone table and revitalising an old pan-lid rack to make a newspaper rack really brought the hallway up to date and inviting. She made a hall runner with some leftover beige carpet and some carpet tile samples, and took away the existing folding door that led into the kitchen and replaced it with a colour co-ordinated curtain and a rail made from an old fishing rod!!
The whole project cost an unbelievable £55.02 and totally changed the look of the entrance hall. The owner was so pleased as she only had a budget of £60 so she had enough money left over for a treat for herself...!
Another is this month's (may 2003) small garden makeover. "From scruffy patio to colourful garden for under £100!" I'm always interested in small garden makeovers as we live in an eighties built house that has postage stamps for gardens, and anything that will make it more exciting is a bonus to me. Jaki Draper had one such featureless garden so she asked Your Home to come and help her to liven it up. Your Home sent Victoria Hellum along who showed Jaki how to use colourful lighting and accessories to achieve the look she was after.
As the garden was partly paved Victoria made a decking area out of the rest of the garden using timber floor tiles and edging it with white gravel. She fixed a rustic looking reed panel to a neighbours unsightly garage wall and hung coloured paper lanterns along it. Victoria added trellis to a side wall and hung some painted planted pots to it using pot rings and totally brought the wall to life and gave it a mediterranian feel. Along with some coloured garden flares and painted stones Jaki's garden was transformed into something quite beautiful. ! The whole project cost Jaki £99.31 and it really looks like a lot of hard work and hard cash has gone into it but now you, me and all Your Home readers know better! (I am so ready to get cracking with my own now, even stealing ideas from this)
The only advertisements within the magazine are all to do with the house. For example ads like sofa workshops, appliances, conservatories, mortgages and flooring specialists. The only ad that doesn't directly associate with DIY is the one for a hand cream, but on reflection you would certainly need it if you are a keen DIYer.!
There are loads of ideas from lighting to lofts, from fireplaces to fun ideas for the kid's rooms ! Your Home also has a £20,000 shopping spree in Debenhams. To find out if you've won you have to ring the phone number costing 75p a minute (which lasts for 2.5 mins) and see if the number on the front of the mag matches that of the winning number.
There is the obligatory stockists page which gives all contact numbers and addresses for all companies mentioned within the magazine. There is a hotline where you can order any back issues that may have been missed. (01858 438838)
Your Home is published by The National Magazine Company Limited and is available from all good newsagents and supermarkets. Priced at £1.60 per issue it is very good value indeed. It comes out every month in advance and has it's own web site.
Overall this magazine is a brilliantly priced, idea inspiringly fantasmagorical magazine for the keen amateur home-interior designer!!

...on decorating /revamping and accessorising your home / garden and it covers most budgets.
What’s It Like?
Well, for a start, it very rarely comes in one of those plastic bag thingies, with lots of useless junk paper. The cover is bright and usually eye catching. It does the ‘peak your interest’ bit quite well, for instance, on the June issue (which came out at the beginning of May!) – “I transformed my dingy garden in 24 hrs for £100” or “37 clever ... ...‘how to’ do things around your home. This is usually a main decorating feature; this time it’s how to make room feel light and bright, plus a few tips on flooring and using patterns on walls and fabrics. Major competition - £20,000 (top prize) spending spree at Debenhams, plus various other monetary rewards. Downside – it costs 75p a minute to find out if the number on the front cover has won anything!
Back to the magazine – quite good tips on how ...

What a super magazine Your Home Is. I have been buying it since the first issue and as I buy a lot of these types of magazine because of my great interest in interior design, a magazine has be be good to live up to some of the competition.

What I really like about this particular title is the fact that the products they feature are affordable and the interiors featured use items which can ... ...Home which includes products way out of my budget). Readers' homes are trendy, of all styles, often colourful and individual (not just like showhomes) and there are always plenty of pages featuring garden style too. The July / Aug issue has a 'Decorator Of The Year' competition, which I might go in for next year - we're just about to move house which needs re-doing from top to bottom :-) All in all this magazine is bright and breezy and appeals to ...

Advantages: Good value with good ideas Disadvantages: None
Your Home magazine is about home improvement ideas, generally on a smaller budget. It has a cheap'n'cheerful feel to it - not a glossy mag with thick glossy pages, but it does pack in a lot for the money. I particularly like the cheap'n'cheerful aspect of the magazine because it feels accessible - you feel that the improvement ideas are not going to be wildly expensive or out of your league skill-wise. This makes it feel a lot more personal than ... ...they are more about wishful thinking rather than "roll-up-sleeves and get stuck in".
Overall, I think if you are looking for ideas you can achieve yourself, Your Home magazine is really good value. It has feeling of accessibility which I find encourages me to try things for myself. ...

...on real homes. Your Home gives you helpful information on how to tackle diy jobs such as laying underfloor heating, putting up a shed and also more simple tasks like re-vamping a photo frame.
This is a magazine aimed at women who want to do more than just pick a colour scheme or take up a curtain. Every month there are real make-over sections where people have written in with their own home-makeover (inc tips on how to do it yourself), jobs to do ... ...helpful ideas for brightening up your home.
My only disappointment with YourHome is that i think when showing furniture/accesories they recommend they should keep in line with the whole concept of the magazine - cheap and cheerful. A lot of the furniture/accesories shown are out of my price range and i feel this may reflect a lot of readers opinions. However, do not let this put you off as this is still a top magazine. ...

...Barker on the cover!
Now, Your Home used to be my fave mag, in fact I had a subscription to it, until they seemed to fall off the edge of the planet, and stop publishing without warning. Most inconvenient - especially as their subscription people decided to swap me to House Beautiful without asking - bad move seeing as I already had a subscription to that as well!
However a couple of months later it reappeared in the shops - still the same mag, ... ...mine rather than cutting edge designer pads in the docklands, but oh dear -is it me, or has the paper quality gone tatty and cheap?
Bring back the glossy - but apart from that if you only buy one home magazine, buy this! Its realistic, well laid out, and full of good ideas. The only other one I would look out for is House Beautiful, as they have a lot of good cut price subscriptions on at the moment too! ...

I found this magazine to be very good for those people looking for things for new houses. I believe that I will be of great value even when I have a house. It provides articles for example about the best patatoe peelers to buy so I would but this magazine just for the articles about the products that you would always need in yourhome not even if you are a first time buyer.

Advantages: Good, well displayed info Disadvantages: Packs received in no particlar order
A while back - maybe about 10 months ago, as a relative novice to the computer/internet world, I subscribed to the "At Home with your PC" part-works offer.
This is supposedly sent monthly but appears to be every two months. The initial offer consisted of three free binders for the cards and CD ROMs they supply plus free cards and CD ROMS - after that for £6.95 every one/two months they send you a CD ROM plus 10 'workcards' divided into nine different subject sections - which are as follows:-
1) Up and Running
2) Software Collection
3) Working with Words
4) Sight and Sound
5) Home Planning
6) Leisure and Learn
7) Get Connected
8) Expert Tips and Tricks
9) Computer Doctor
Sounds useful? Well, I can't deny it IS useful, especially if you're a relative newcomer to the computer world. Within those sections the advice ...
Advantages: Information clearly presented, interesting to read Disadvantages: Cards not despatched chronological order; slightly expensive
`At Home With Your PC` is a collection of information leaflets aiming to teach you to use your computer efficiently. It begins with the very basics in an introductory booklet which clearly describes how to carry out simple operations such as point and click without talking down to the reader.
The collection then comprises of categorised cards that fit into a binder, as usual with such publications the cards are not supplied in numerical order, thus meaning your knowledge is not built up gradually. A way around this is to save the cards up until you have a reasonable amount to read at once, although again this presents difficulties.
The cards present the information clearly making good use of screen shots and other illustrations. The cards are folded like greetings cards, opening to the right instead of the left, and are about two ...
