The Mega-Zine Museum

January 22, 1998

MUMBLY JUMBLY Dear 'Zine, thank you for saving my life. I must confess, this time, it was close. We know not what we do.

THE KITTEN WITH DARK PURPLE FUR Purple Long-haired bunny: Your obsession with purple is becoming irritating. Purple is the colour of depression and gloom, not life. And Merv I completely agree with you. Hello!? That is dark PURPLE fur, isn't it?

RUSSIAN ROULETTE Spellbound: I also like The Doors, but does anyone like the music-The Deer Hunter? Doubt it.

HELLO 'ZINESTERS!

Has anyone noticed the Radiohead lyric which offers new nicknames for the Spice Girls? It's from Paranoid Android "Kicking, screaming, Gucci little piggy."

I've sussed you Mr Yorke!

Uncle Pat

Clever? satirical? topical? Or is he

GOING ROUND THE BEND?

TO SILVER BULLET

There are two very good reasons why 'Ziners don't take their names from dance music:

1. Dance is boring, repetitive rubbish.
2. Dance does NOT inspire good names (I mean what would you suggest? Mr 'Everybody in the house go ho!?, 'Whumpf'?, 'Boom Boom Boom'? - you see ALL RUBBISH)

Indie music has a much wider range of lines and lyrics - making it easier to choose better names from than dance!

The Man They Could Not Hang

Aren't you stereotyping dance music?

OH, YOU ARE... OKAY.

DEAR 'POSIUM GIRL

I can see the attraction of blokes in combats (no I'm not being sarcastic) but since when was this trendy?

Half the people I know don't appreciate my current taste in men or music since they're both on the rocky side (literally).

The idea of being trendy scares the living daylights out of me so I'm going to make being a freak into an art form.

You're all welcome to join me - but it's a one-way ticket.

Jinx

You could start a whole new trend

AM I SCARING YOU YET?

THE 'ZINE!

Well, as far as I knew, I was the only Ironic Nomad on these hallowed pages. So how come a letter replying to someone I didn't even know to exist (sorry Magikguy) was attributed to me?

Whoever it was is a fraud, despite a rather good letter defending my honour! Maybe I'm a schizophrenic, or maybe there's a whole family of Ironic Nomads out there.

Surely it wasn't a mistake on the part of the mighty WLW...?

(A rather confused) Ironic Nomad

Okay, okay so a mistake was made

I'M ONLY HUMAN... SORT OF...
