The Mega-Zine Museum
October 29, 1995
SAD, BUT TRUE makes a triumphant return to Mega-Zine with the news that he has met another girl, but is unsure of how to go about asking her out. Try English.
SAUL PMITH thinks Ricki Lake should change her name to Licki Rake.
ADAM KEEBLE sends a heart-felt apology to the world for mis-naming the Green Day album Dookie. By way of consolation I pushed him off his chair on Friday.
SI's list of Top 10 animals was just so... so... what's the word...?
"Dull" comes close
FAIR PLAY FOR THE BADGER, THOUGH
GIG REVIEW - ECHOBELLY, PORTSMOUTH
Fronted by the most gorgeous woman on the indie scene, Sonya Madan, Echobelly confirmed their position at the top of Britpop's tree with a storming gig.
The set seemlessly blended songs from the debut album EGO with songs from recent opus On.
Give Her A Gun and the pogo-tastic King Of The Kerb were among the highlights. Echobelly did great.

THE CASE AGAINST PINGU
Pingu, you are charged with the heinous crimes of:
- Living in an igloo
- Making sounds like those useless sounds you get on a keyboard
- Being made of clay and not being a real children's icon like Bagpuss.
How do you plead?
The Smashed Pumpkin
PS The above charges carry the penalty of being taken to bits and made into something useful.
I'll save you all the trouble
GUILTY AS CHARGED, YOU'RE GOING DAAN
PEOPLE WE'RE ANNOYED WITH, CHAPTER ONE
In lonely hearts sections everywhere we see Shropshire surfer, Birmingham surf bum. How can you be a surfer 300 miles away from surf?
More importantly, all the ex-Metallers don't want to know us because we've still got long hair and wear different clothes.
There are only five real metallers left.

GIG REVIEW - THE CANDYSKINS, OXFORD HMV
I originally went to the HMV to get a copy of a Candyskins single for my sister who's at uni at the other end of the country.
After watching the band perform I bought myself a copy too and had both copies signed.
The Candyskins - the best band you've ever heard.
Gina, Livin' On A Prayer
Shouldn't that be, the best band
YOU'VE NEVER HEARD?
FELLOW 'ZINESTERS
I'm sorry to say that I'm writing to express my condolences to all Blind Mellon fans.
Shannon Hoon was found dead on the band's tour bus on Monday.
My heart goes out to those who will feel the pain. You're not alone, I know that feeling.
When will it all end?
