VOICE OF THE VOICELESS Hey WLW, I'm at school! Just a quick message to say hi! Better go now before I get cau.... Oh!
SECLUDED RAINBOW 'Ziners — I love you all so much! Er, sorry... just a little bit emotional at the moment. But I think you're all as cool as pre-packed sandwiches! An M&S buttie, I hope!
SILVAN DRACONIS So, so tired. Need sleep. Sleep good. Sleepytime now. Soft pillow... aaahhhhh... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Woah, sorry, what? hello? Nodded off.
FADING...
Suffocated by the memories of distant dreams
Drowning in a pool of misunderstanding
A victim of your own knowledge
A prisoner of convention
Living a life without purpose
In a meaningless world
You were never really there
You fade...
The Fridge
Where was I then?
CONFUSED? VERY
MANICS ARE BACK
The return of the almighty God-like Manics is creeping upon us once more. The return will be a revolution in itself and will shut up all those 'Ziners who slag off the Manics because they are too lazy to educate their ears.
Can't you hear? Your ears are crying out for good music.
The Revolutionary Carrot
You think the return will 'shut up'
THE DOUBTERS? SOMEHOW, I DOUBT IT!
WHY HELLO 'ZINERS!
- Billie Joe is a lot nicer and a better guitarist/vocalist than Podgy Dean Bradfield
- The 'Zine anthem should be Adam's Song by Blink 182. Classical drives me scatty, no offence.
- Everyone should date people who are 76, 'cos I hate ageism. Even if they're called Cuthbert and talk about the war.

Blink 182... hmmmmmm... let me think...
THAT WOULD BE NO
EXCUSE ME WLW...
But what is so funny about female bassists? Did we sleep in a cave during 1990 when Riot Grrl came about? Shame on you!
You obviously ain't heard of Melissa Auf De Maur, Jennifer Finch, Maureen Herman, D'Arcy Wretsky etc.
As a female bassist myself, I feel insulted. I'm sending Jennifer Finch round to give you a good spanking.

Actually, I WAS sleeping in a cave...

'ZINE ANTHEM
Well, we're all disagreeing on this one aren't we? So, I have a suggestion — we should look to the magic of the kazoo.
All 'Ziners should buy kazoos, then we can all meet up and make our own anthem!
I've got about six kazoos, so I can lend some out. Just let me know when you've all decided on a date.

No wait... the stylophone!
WE SHOULD ALL GET A STYLOPHONE!

I'VE ALWAYS SEEN DAVORD AS BUBBLE
TO ALL MY 'ZINER FRIENDS
There's summit you gotta know. My auntie is a very busy woman. When asked, she always tells everybody that she's a magazine editor.
However, last fortnight, I went to her office and what I saw was appalling.
WLW — you're my auntie and I can prove it. So you'd better watch out.

Damn — my Christmas card list just
GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER!
