...no one knows us...
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

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. |

this man is very cool!
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. * |
