Here is the double page spread for this issue of NME. It consists of a page which is consumed by one picture and a caption, with the other a whole article on the band "TV on the Radio". The imagery on the left page of the double page spread connotes a rather serious article as each member of TVOTR have their arms crossed with none of the members smiling, David Sitek isn't even facing the camera which also suggests that he is reluctant to do the interview (which he ends up skipping), yet whilst you are under the impression that this picture gives you an insight into their lives and characteristics; the actual article gives off a very light-humoured and fun living side of TVOTR. The effect of this is so that the image doesn't sum up the whole article and makes the reader read it in order to get the real side of TVOTR, yet the article spends most of its time "bigging up" the"cosmic pop bazaar" as much as possibe and that is backed up in the image as they are trying to act cool, which is passed out in the article.

The language of the article is extremely informal with as more metaphors and similies than you could think of in order to establish it as an NME article. The pull quote located in the middle of the page ironically contradicts the caption on the other page which simple say "DAVE" yet the pull qoute here states "Unfortunately Mr Sitek won't be available today", this displays the unique style of writing that consists inside NME magazines. They don't need someone there to write about in order to mesmarise us with the labellings of "Genius". The use of rhetorical questions establishes a relationship with the readers and turns a report on a band into a coversation or re-cap with the readers, which helps them relate to the magazine more such as "was it something we didn't say". No one likes being told what and not to buy and who's hot and who's not, but by having a conversation with the reader it softens the inevietable truth that they are being told what to like. The use of informal language such as "wouldn't quite pick from a Thomas Cook brochure" simply solidifies the relationship between reader and magazine. The last thing an upper class multi millionaire sitting in his mansion endulging in caviar on some sort of fancy bread would want to read about is "Donkey Cum Junior". Yet this is the type of language that NME love to read, as long as it's crude and funny, thousands upon thousands, will indulge in the witty satirical views of the NME writers.

Both these pages strangely consist of different layouts, with the only thing remaining the same is the positioning of the page numbers that are located on the outer bottom corner of the pages, which draws similarities iwth the rest of the magazine and makes it seem more organized.
