Sound Familiar?: Bay Area Publisher Buys NY Music 'Zine

It’s not like the legendary Fillmore West-Fillmore East corridor, but if you’re a music magazine looking to sell, it’s sure starting to feel like it. Last week it was San Francisco-based Hartle Media snagging Spin. This week it’s Revolver, the neo-Slayer-shredding music magazine, snatched up by South San Fran’s Future US Inc., niche publisher of over 150 gaming (Official XBox Magazine, Mac Addict), action sports (Future Snowboarding) and music magazines, with 2005 revenues topping $100 million.
