Loam Baby???

I don't follow the WS's new blogger, Talia. I clearly am not part of the new demography that the WS is appealing to and I don't want to skew their readership demography. She's very ultra-hip and that obviously doesn't fit me 'tall. I find her blogs, thus far, rather shallow and can't say I've learned much from them. It's clear that ole Marv gave her the marching orders to appeal to the 20's (that's not 1920) demography and to draw them into the WS sphere of influence. Clearly, I don't fit that bill of goods.
Her latest blog was so super/ultra-hip that I felt like I was reading something from a foreign language. Apparently, you don't read a "magazine" anymore...it's now just a "zine". I'm not sure if I could use that term for my large-print Reader'sDigest or my usual WeeklyReader or my Boy'sLife magazine. And I have no clue as to what a "ska zine" is. Or a "bidi". Is that some shorthand for a "bidet"?? I'm clueless..as well as ancient ole fuddy-duddy.
Anyway...her blog raves about a new "zine" called Loam Baby, written under a nom-de-plume. Anybody seen the mag...errrrr...."zine" yet and is it worth her raves?? It sounds a little too close for comfort to the Wine X mag...errrr...."zine" that was also ultra-hip....and now defunct.
Anyway...just sorta curious.
