The Mega-Zine Museum
September 29, 1996
THE LEXICON would like to know if any zinesters can better their high score of 68 on Countdown.
HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN is looking for a girl called Lady with The Spinning Head He's told she's got style and class and can make anyone laugh. What, even the humourless automatons on the tube?
THE CRUSHED ORANGE loves REM, Radiohead James, Primal Scream, Pulp, U2, Alanis Morissette, The WonderStuff, Suede, Teenage Fanclub, The Stone Roses, PJ
Harvey. Ain't you forgotten Ned's
ATOMIC DUSTBIN AND CARTER USM?
DEAR 'ZINE
Decided to emerge from my dusty corner in WLW's attic, stretch my many legs and introduce myself.
I think everyone should stop slamming Star Indie Babe. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
I don't suppose you've seen a girl with a bowl of curds and whey sat around anywhere? Must go, I think there's something rather tasty entangled in my web...
Big Hairy Spider
If it's in my attic I get the first
BITE OF THAT RATHER TASTY SOMETHING.
'ZINE WEATHER FORECAST
First of all, I'd warn all zinesters to prepare for a flash flood of Oasis letters. There will be very high pressure on Adonis to shut up.
To the west is a storm brewing between Stan d'Alone and everyone else.
Winds of up to 70mph will be coming out of Joyrider's big mouth.
Artist Formerly Known as Gonzo
There won't be gales of laughter or
A STORM OF MERRIMENT HERE.
ODE TO FIRE DRILL
O fire drill fire drill I love you
Cos you went off
in the middle of
History.
JCSMRSNBMWCD,
thanking whoever arranged it
What do your initials stand for?
JUST COS SOMEONE MAKES RATS SING...
TO VENUS, ADONIS, ATHENE AND OTHER MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURES
Venus was nearly right: she's Roman and Athene is Greek.
But Adonis seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis. Adonis was Greek and was a beautiful boy who Aphrodite (Greek name for Venus) fell in love with.
Adonis on the 'zine behaves like Narcissus. He was another beautiful boy who fell in love with his reflection, pined away and turned into a flower.

DEAR WLW
Who don't you put my letters on the screen? Is it my name? If I changed my name to A Very Cool Person Who Wants To Create A Perfect Universe and Make the Amazing and Wonderful WLW God, would you put my letter on the screen?
Lots of hate
Inspector Six (being witty)
I'd reconsider what's in the brackets
AFTER YOUR NAME
