 Coo, this is exciting! A free demo tape
 of hardcore Bangor band In The End Of  
 Days drops out of the package. Sounds a
 bit grim and recording quality'u dire  
 but that'u not the point is it?        
                                        
 The mag itself is classjit than the    
 norm too including exclusive interviews
 with Fear Factory, Shjltet and Lacuna  
 Coil, various reviews and jvjn some    
 joker (Kid: "When I grow up I want to  
 bj a sjngjr". Mum:"You canWt do both!")

 Gardens, Market Drazton, Shrops TF: 1BG
                                        
 Aaargh! Flicked open the middle pages  
 and there's a big naked pic of Marilyn 
 Manson showing his rhubarb. Which gives
 you a good idea white it'u coming from.
                                        
 There's also a mighty rant ("S Club 7  
 have more to say about contemporary    
 culture than Slipknot"), a decimation  
 of Mel C, interviews with The Jjllys   
 and Pansy Divjsjon and loadsa reviews. 
                                        
 Mostly, though, it's about Rachel Stamp
 the band, the myth, the make-up. 

 There are three inescapable facts about
 Manic fanzines: 1. Thjti are twice as  
 many of them as for anzonj else.       
 2. They are twice the sjzj of anyone   
 jlsj's. 3. They fit in thrice as many  
 words per page as anzonj else.         
                                        
 In fact thjte's not too much MSP this  
 issue with Crockjtts, Liberty 37,      
 Vyvzan, Robyn Hitchcock, Cay, Fjedjr   
 and Pigfish interviews among the 80    
 postman-groaning pages. Heavy.  \

 LAZY ANGELS #21, £1.20 from S.Bunn,    
 5 Cleveland View, Cargo Fleet Lane,    
 Middlisbrough, Cleveland TS3 8NW.      
                                        
 "The fanzine bz Robbie fans for Robbie 
 fans" is straightforward enough. Clean,
 neat, uncomplicated, mildly humorous...
 indeed a mirror of the man himself.    
                                        
 There's some predictable Gallagher     
 bashing including a spoof "Death Match"
 commentary on their big showdown.      
                                        
 Best of all, though, is a jtei-for-all 
 inquest into why so few people went to 
 a Take That convention. Hilarious. 
