Thanks for taking the trouble to read this page. Whilst trying to struggle on
with writing a paper fanzine and all the inherent problems of printing and selling
I thought I'd take the logical step and publish on-line. The costs are so much lower
and I get to reach a much larger target audience. I'd love to hear your comments
so drop me a line. Even better, I'd like to receive your records and demo tapes for
review, so contact me for surface mail instructions. If you run a similar e-zine
or paper 'zine, I'd also be interested in hearing from you, so I can post links and
snail mail details of them all.
There is some pretty exciting stuff happening over here in the UK. Our favourite
anarchists, Chumbawamba have been getting into cold (tee hee) water after Danbert
Nobacon emptied the contents of a large ice bucket over Labour Cabinet Minister,
Jolly John Prescott, at the recent Brit Awards ceremony as a protest at the way the
government have handled the Liverpool Dockers strike. He was arrested, Danbert that is, not Prescott, but the MP is not
pressing any charges as he thinks they have got enough publicity for now. It is
rumoured that their next single release will be "Drip, Drip"!
The actual winners of the Brit Awards just have to be commented on. How the hell
did All Saints win the Best Video Award when the likes of
The Verve and Aphex Twin were nominated? Also, who the hell gives a toss about Fleetwood
Mac? The only contribution I can see them having made is when Mick Fleetwood hosted
the Brit Awards himself a few years ago, with the dreadful Sam Fox. Ben Elton was
little better this year, but why not just ask John Peel to do them, although he'd
probably turn it down! As for Best International Act what
the hell has Jon Bon Jovi done in the last year that bands like Foo Fighters havn't,
sucked corporate cock, it sounds like. Hell even Metallica would have been a better choice!
Funny to see Radiohead winning fuck all though wasn't it, especially after the amount of plaudits
THAT album has received. I've been told that you have to really listen to it loads to "get into
it." Bollocks. I've listened to it at least 50 times and it's still piss-poor when compared
to the likes of 'The Bends' or my fave from last year 'Ladies And Gentleman We Are Floating In Space.'
Prog rock can just piss off back to the 70's, with its Roger Dean artwork and concept LP's.
