Mega-Zine

August 8, 1995

LENTILS TASTE NAFF faxed in to remind us not to watch Liz 'Tottie' Hurley on C4 tonight, which he so cleverly predicted last week on the 'Zine.

MYSTIC PEG LEG wants to re-shape the 'Zine into Mega-moan, Mega-mad and Mega-mail. Mmmm, not bad, me hearty.

THE HEAT IS ON but Noel Gallagher will still be in a duffel coat, says A Little Drip, happily dripping.

POEM GIRL is not only in love with Poem Boy but concerned about the world. Aaah.

Bill and Mike were crushed at an REM

CONCERT AND MISSED IT - TA WHOEVER

 

ALBUM REVIEW "LIFE" BY THE CARDIGANS

If you like crunching guitars, throbbing bass and pummeling drums, then stay clear of this.

With the most gorgeous/innocent sweet voice since Frente's Angela Hart, Nina sings her way through The Cardigans' wonderland of 60s kitsch-influenced pop

Daddy's Car and Travelling With Charley are glorious examples of their pure, cool, breezy pop. Perfect for summer.

Dizgo Girl's Sky Baby

Dizgo (AFKA Obscure Indie Boy) also

GOES TO MANY, MANY CONCERTS... SSSS

 

TIMES WHEN NOT TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR...

  1. When you think you can go out without looking in it and then do and end up spending hours in the bathroom
  2. When you can feel a really nasty spot erupting on your face
  3. After a barber with a hearing problem proclaims that you wanted a crew cut not a French crop

New Age Freak, playing lots of grungy type music at home with friends

 

LOTTERY COMMENTARY

As the numbers come out of Guinevere or Arthur, or whoever, does each number need its past reading out like This Is Your Life?

Who cares if it has been drawn out eight times, never been the bonus ball and comes from the yellow splodge in Mega-zine?

Why does it have to be before Casualty so you just manage to see the end?

The Chicken In The Mist

Because the world is a cruel place.

EVIL LURKS EVERYWHERE

 

SEVEN YEAR BITCH - VIVA ZAPATA

Take a large chunk of L7 and add a half pint of RATM, mix thoroughly and then add a couple of teaspoons of Pantera.

Decorate with Jack Endino and presto! - a top female Seattle combo.

On a serious note, this is top-notch stuff, combining raw power chords with singer Seline Vigil's phenomenal vocal range.

Essential for alternative metal freaks.

Do I think Delia Smith and Janey Asher

WOULD APPROVE? - I DO NOT

 

UNTITLED

Exam results,
Came through for me,
I did quite well,
My mum was pleased.

But now, thinks I,
Would be extremely wise,
To ask very nicely,
For a pocket money rise.
