Excuuuuse me! Sort your facts and your life out before you even BEGIN to slag off TT. I expect you only like your wailing Indie music because you can't hear the words which saves you looking them up!
As for you Mr Grunge, I'm definitely NOT pre-pubescent, brainless, naive, silly or called Sharon. I enjoy their music and the fact they're good looking only adds to their appeal.

So was TV around when you were a child?
WE'RE NOT REALLY AGEIST OR TTIST!
DEAR 'ZINE,
This has nothing to do with music or petty arguments.
I would just like to say congratulations to Terry Venables for finally clinching the England job.
He did a brilliant job at Spurs and if he does half as good as the England coach, England will once again be a respected football nation.

Whatever you're into, STG, speak again!
ERASURE V THE PET SHOP BOYS (FIVE GOOD REASONS WHY ERASURE ARE BETTER!)
- Because I say they are!
- Erasure don't rely on covers to sell records!
- Erasure's Live Extravaganza concerts are indeed live & extravagant unlike the PSBs' thumb-twiddling concerts!
- Vince Clarke is a synthesiser wizard and Chris Lowe isn't!
- Andy Bell sings lyrics with emotion while Neil Tennant talks them through blandly!
NUFF SAID!

SINGLE REVIEW: DIRTY DAWG by NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
After two years of waiting for this super group to return in style, this song is a complete let-down.
They've gone all hip-hop. It does nothing for the New Kids. The video is sleazy, with the Kids looking like pimps.
This won't win them new fans and the faithful will have their loyalty tested.

Oo-er - so it's an unwelcome comeback!
TO PEOPLE WITH TASTE
First there's Gary what a prat
Writes the lyrics for Take That
Next is Jason what a mess
Looks like a nerd in a polka dot dress
Robbie's a poser and a bore
Head so big can't fit through a door
Weedy Mark, not manly strong or hairy
Give him a wand he'll dance as a fairy
Last Howard a man who can't think
He's so stupid he's in love with a sink

Nice one! Anyone got any counter poems?
