CHICKEN LICKEN I have a new debate: Letters to the 'Zine — do we say 'Dear 'Ziners' or 'Dear 'Zineys'? Neither. We say 'WLW... please, please, please' etc!
TRENDY CHICK 007 Did you know that I am an insomniac? Well I am and it's horrible. Me too. There's not enough cocoa in the world.
THE FORS@KEN ONE WLW — this time I need to know. I really must be told if it's over. It's up to you, you know. Sometimes I think no, sometimes I think maybe. Today? Dunno. Up to you my love.
HI 'ZINERS,
I'm new to 'Zine so, Davord, be gentle with me.
Anyone who reckons I should be nice to trendies should spend a week at my school, then see if they can pass a flame thrower without getting the urge to use it on the next person who shouts 'Bo'!
We must unite to overthrow this evil and educate the world in the ways of the Manics, Placebo and Idlewild.
Li'l Glitter QT
Oh dear, it was all going so well
UNTIL YOU MENTIONED THE MANICS
'ZINERS,
If I was an ice cream, I'd be rum and raisin.
If I was a flower, I'd be a rose with dead petals and all the thorns.
If I was an insect, I'd be a spider so I could crawl into a corner and spin my web.
If I was a 'Ziner, I'd be Jacobean Skate Punk.
He'll probably hate me for liking him. He seems the type.
Gothic Jezebel
Yes — he does get a bit cross sometimes
BUT DEEP DOWN, I BET HE'S A SOFTIE
TO ANYONE WHO CARES TO LISTEN
Recently I saw a letter about band names that make interesting anagrams.
Well, do you remember the 'Ziner Apotheosic Chimerical Nemesis? (and if you're reading this — I'm your biggest fan) — if you mix it around a bit, it's 'Ace Sester In A Chimp Lice Home'! Makes no sense though.
And White Line Warrior (with an extra N), is 'While We Riot In Rain'!
Turquoise
I like a good riot in the rain...
I SAW MADONNA AT WEMBLEY IN '93
FORGOTTEN GIRL
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was really touched by your letter. It makes such a difference to know that this hellish, dark void that is my life is not as frightening as I first thought.
You are the beacon of light which will help me find the way out. It seems that if you don't like Slipknot, Feeder, Placebo etc, you're not even welcome in 'Zineland, but you make me feel welcome.
There is hope. There is more.
It Should've Been Me
I think liking Slipknot etc has
BECOME TRENDY, SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
