The Cure I can see, whinge-wise, but still!

Just kidding, my Queen.

Don't know much about the whole 'emo' scene, but I gather it just ain't rock'n'roll...

Perhaps this marks the difference between 'Goth' as a wider genre and 'Gothic Rock' as a sub-group within the genre.

Where's Mick Mercer when you need him....

Aaaarrrgggh! No, I don't, I don't either... really! Seriously!! Only the stuff which has been rammed down my throat as I trawl through the music channels praying for the "Fire Woman" video. Maybe at 20 I'm still hip and young enough for this sort of thing to register on my radar - having said that there's really no excuse for anyone over the age of 10 taking it seriously.

It doesn't take long to work it out - take 4 or 5 grotesque failures of evolution, give 'em some grubby t-shirts and pudding-bowl haircuts, get one to hold the mic earnestly with both hands and make like he's having a stomach cramp or an epileptic fit, and scream about how your parents did you wrong the time they made you go to bed at 9 o'clock because you swore at them.

You're not missing anything, trust me.

its not the regular issue - its a glossy magazine "special" (costs about 6 quid)

the "borders" in leeds have loads of copies in, so i would imagine most borders stores will

But we don't HAVE a Borders in Lincoln. We have a WH Smiths and about a million newsagents for magazines, an Ottakars for books and that's about it.

Lincoln? LINCOLN? As in my Lincoln? Well fancy that.

Do you happen to know where all the folks who used to go to The Falcon now go?

The've got copies in Terry Tesco' s by the way.

Please don't tell me you live on the Ermine and drink in The Imp?? You will go down in my estimation.

I found a copy in WH Smith's. And then got the normal NME, because it had loads about John Peel in it.

I don't live on the Ermine, I live in south Lincoln. And I'm not old enough to go out drinking. Legally.

LMAO! Nope I don't - but my youngest son lives with his Dad on Ermine West. I drive past the Imp almost daily but have never set foot in it. Must say the imp looks very fetching in his painted St George flag vest.

Yer not a 'yellow-belly' yerself are you Snowey?

No I am not from Lincoln. I have some mates who lived in the road behind "The Imp". One of them worked in the Imp and it was a case of "Are you local" when we went in to meet her one day.

That pub is was as rough as a bears arsehole.

Luckly they managed to get a house nearer the town centre.

Lincoln cathedral - it was really impressive, I spent several hours there (to be true, I studied art history then )

It's a nice cathedral. My school has o have all it's end-of-term concerts there, so it's associated in our minds as "evil".


I personally wnjoy going to town early, and sitting on one of the benches on Steep Hill, writing and sketching.

Lincoln Cathedral is ace and I could/try to spend hours and hours there.

It still 'gets' me driving over Pelham Bridge and just looking up to see it dominate the skyline.

You're school has their end of term concert there..hhmmmmn a Minster bod?

finally... i found it...

No, but if you want a specific week, I will phone my dad to go up the loft for one. Anytime from 89 onwards. It was John Peels fault, he made me buy them

Thank, QB, got it today

Really nice issue, I mean. I'll continue reading it right after logging out from here (and please don't talk about the real life today)
