Mansun
's music will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered * Mansun appeal to all ages from barely teens up. 60s/70s Rock Fans into Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix have turned up at shows and told how Mansun revived their interest in live music, with Chad's guitar playing up there with "the greats". Having been there, they should know! (the brilliance of the music... ...how to describe what's hard to describe) - pic by Minxy

apr 2000 :  official convention on 2 july in liverpool (lomax) and highly recommended for mansun lovers. (six pm for six hours, £5 per ticket includes copy of official fanzine Cult Of Positivity - loads going on! new single/album this year and mansun play summer sonic 2000 festival in japan on august 5 (fujikyu) august 6 (osaka) and appear at v2000 festival in the uk (second stage just before supergrass headline).

Dec 99 Mansun's two UK-based official fanzines have decided to join forces to produce an entirely new fanzine called 'Cult of Positivity'.Take It Easy and Smelling the Roses squeezed into 32 professionally printed pages. Cult of Positivity #1 features (amongst other things): The Reading and Leeds festivals (plus the warm up tour): we were there,so now you can hear what we've got to say as we follow the band from Oxford to the Ross on Wye International Festival before heading off to the Reading festival. And as if that wasn't enough, one of us managed to hitch a lift up to Leeds on the band's tourbus. So many photos from Reading and Leeds that we had problems fitting them all in: we had two photographers there, so Cult of Positivity has more exclusive photos than you could possibly need. Interviews with both Andie and Stove: Stove tells us just how good he is with a, er, stove, and Andie confesses all about his farm. Fan meet-ups: there have been loads this year, and we've been to quite a few of them. Every single one has been a great day out, so we've dedicated a fair chunk of Cult of Positivity #1 to trying to persuade you to come along to the next one in your area. Magazine: we present the ultimate bluffer's guide. send £2.50 (inc P&P - cheques/postal orders should be made payable to 'Cult of Positivity', please do not send cash unless it is securely wrapped) to Cult of Positivity, New House Farm, Helions Bumpstead, Haverhill, Suffolk, CB9 7AN - No.2 will be at the July 2nd Convention.

Nov 99 : Mansun were the last band to take to a UK festival stage in the 20th century, what a blast! (see Jo's festival report at Whirlpool 7) and have recorded new material for release in the Year 2000.
July 1999 - Record Collector, Top 500 Artists ; Mansun are at 134 up from 213 last year. Band currently recording new material at a London studio. Paul Draper interview goes out on Radio 1 to commemorate the anniversary of the Evening Session Live. The Media have fallen at the feet of Mansun's last support band, Gay Dad. Put the following three words in the right order: tree, wrong, barking... time will tell.
May 99: Mansun, UK, August 1999 - 27th Oxford Zodiac, 28th Ross On Wye Festival, 30th Reading Festival, 29th Leeds Festival - the band are currently demoing and recording their third album (song based classics apparently and believably) due for possible release early next year. Mansun official website is No.31 of 938 in Music Week's Dot Music Awards '99
this man is very cool!stove in cambridge      any tips on how to be cool? "Just be yourself and don't act like a prick..."

Who do you think is cool? "The Fonz, snow men and my dad... "

Are you always this cool? "Only in public... "

What's been your least cool moment? "My pants fell down on stage once. Oop's... "

from whirlpool 8 . . . paul draper. . . 
* would you be willing to give up sex for five years if you could have wonderully sensual and erotic dreams any night you wished? once i fell asleep for 5 minutes and had a wonderfully sensual and erotic sex dream. so i guess the answer is no.
* can you urinate in front of another person? yes, only if its all over them
* do you have a maxim?
no, i bought a copy of fhm once * what has been your biggest failure in life?
caving into pressure. i don't do it now. if i believe in something i won't bend on it. it becomes a problem with people who think mansun are self destrictive. you have to compromise and prostitute yourself. never again. *
