ALBUM REVIEW: YOU GOTTA SIN TO GET SAVED by MARIA McKEE

It takes a lot of nerve to attempt to cover Van Morrison's songs, but Maria not only tries it, she pulls it off.

My Lonely Sad Eyes and The Way Young Lovers Do are just two of the highlights. I Forgive You, co-written with Sam Brown, will have you reaching for the tissue box.

A classic.

Nev's Demonic Breadbin, Ebbw Vale

Takes more nerve to say it's a classic!

 

DEAR 'ZINE,

Hi! Just writing in to say that "Alternative Andy" (Friday, 25) doesn't know what he's talking about.

"Without music, there is no love"???? Music is nothing more than an invention while love is an indefinable feeling.

"Where there is no anger, there is no hate"??? hate is stronger than love and it doesn't need anger to exist. Idiot.

Where there is no fun, there is no Zine

 

ODE TO THE ONE I LOVE

The voice to my despair is the cure
Its gentle tones are soft and pure
A touch from thy hand would heal my heart
This heart so black and torn apart
A touch so delicate, warm with love

Thou art an angel from above
But thou shalt not know the love I bear
And if thou knew, thou wouldst not care
For I am just a pitiful freak
Never to be loved, lost and weak

Midnight Blue, Over Hills & Far Away

Ummm....

 

DEAR 'ZINE,

HOW TO GET YOUR STUFF SCREENED

Ever thought about sharing your nasty comments about TT with the nation?

We want your top ten reasons why you hate TT, reviews of TT singles, albums and gigs (as long as you say they're weak) and any unnecessary, slaggy things you'd like to say about them.

If you say you love them, there'll be a sarcastic, nasty comment at the bottom.

Mark Owen's Tastebuds, Wiltshire

How DARE you??!

ALL TT HATE MAIL TO THE USUAL PLACE!

 

DEAR BONO'S TRUSTY SERVANT,

"Call me ignorant,..." you said.

With pleasure,

YOU ARE IGNORANT!!

Happy to oblige.

Riled Mean Fairly Hipkid, Somewhere

Never give a sucker an even break!
