Emigre Magazine

My graphic design instructor showed us a cool little magazine (tag line: Where music and design meet.), but it's out of print now. Any of you guys ever heard of it or know if there are some similar magazines out there?

Yes I am -- I am probably more of a lurker here... I have several former students who keep portfolios here.
