The Mega-Zine Museum

KATE COBAIN is back after a year's absence. "I'm gonna haunt your pages with gig reviews," she says. Welcome back, our fave melody maker NOT!
MILES AWAY GIRL'S MUM takes issue with WLW for unnecessary comments regarding her daughter's personality. I'm staying mum on this. I'll say no more. Boo...
AFKA GONZO said R&J replacing Spice Girls at No1 was a case of "out of the frying pan and into the fire". What? The charts have never been better (yes, my tongue is in my cheek!).
Broken Circles says he is taught by a
SMALL GARDEN GNOME-LIKE TEACHER!
IN REPLY TO THE RAVENOUS ROLO
I have read the 'Zine since its inception, and the time when AFKA Gonzo, Joyrider et all were writing in was undoubtedly the worst period in its history. All the surreal nonsense and boring birthday letters, people seemed hell-bent on writing rubbish.
Right NOW, the 'Zine is as good as it ever was. Most of today's writers are on a par with the best of yesteryear.
Final Cracker
Good? Sorry, I think the average has
DROPPED NOW THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN IN!
OI, WLW
Let's get one thing straight, I'm not Broken Circles. Anyway, here's a list of what NOT to get your girlfriend at Christmas:
- Any Pamela Anderson stuff
- A subscription to Good Housekeeping
- A footy season ticket
- Clothes (they'll be too long/short/colourful/dull)
- A scrubbing brush.
Sheriff Buck
Oi, Buck, you old smoothie
YOU'VE GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT, EH?!
DEAR 'ZINE
Why, oh why, is coursework so boring and tedious? This half-term, I had to study Sherlock Holmes, and I couldn't accept pretentious lines such as:
"You have seen Watson, but you have not observed!"
Talk English, you silly fictional detective! I am currently plotting your untimely demise, and will not tolerate your acute paranoia anymore.
Drum Girl Derry
You heathen, Drum. I'll have to send
THE HOUNDS OF BASKERVILLE AROUND!
DEAR MEGA-ZINE
I'M ANGRY! Stephen Eastwood's grunge comments a while back on page 444 were truly scathing for a man who asks questions to himself.
Are you angry that grunge killed off the "Madchester" scene and gave birth to a new genre of inspirational music?
I love grunge because of Therapy?, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters...
Swinny, going nowhere
DEAR 'ZINE
My effort to annoy everyone:
Jarvis Cocker smells, of shells.
Spice Girls stink, of an ice rink.
Boyzone are rubbish, psyche.
Tath, have a bath.
Iron Lion
Consider the nation annoyed, Lion
YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WAY WITH WORDS!
