  • “We're Going to Make the Rolling Stones Look Like Choirboys.”
    “We’re going to make The Rolling Stones look like choirboys.” Alice Cooper lice Cooper still looks like a witch: long, raggedy arms, a thatch of crow-feather hair and a large Captain Hook beaked nose. Even without his kohl eye make-up, his grey-blueA eyes wink out just like they did on his million-selling ’70s album covers. His face is creased and his skin is a little looser, but Alice doesn’t look that different from how he did when he was a threat to American decency. He’s tremendously easy company – warm, gracious and happy to retell well-worn stories, and laughing while he does. You can imagine him holding court with The Hollywood Vampires (his 1970s fraternity of terrifyingly hard-drinking musicians that included Keith Moon, Harry Nilsson and John Lennon), and you can see why celebrities like Johnny Depp regard him as a close friend. Smart and slightly self-effacing, he’s also surprisingly similar to his cameo in Wayne’s World, where he played the dignified elder statesman of rock lecturing his stunned fans with expert detail about the pre-settle- ment history of America. Vincent Damon Furnier may be a sophisticated and sober sixty-eight-year-old, golf-obsessed Republican, but he speaks with real fondness about Alice, often referring to him in the third person. Hearing about the height of his fame (and let’s not forget he was face-on-a-lunchbox, TV-holiday-special, Marvel-comic-about- your-exploits famous), it’s obvious he relishes the controversy he caused, but he never set out to corrupt anyone – only to entertain them.

Matt Pannell Editor he Conservative MP for Guildford and the President of the National Union of TStudents spoke out together on Monday night against the Government’s proposed uni- versity tuition fees, at a public meeting held in the University Hall. For years, the two organisations have been in dispute over funding for Higher Education, yet the two men turned out to have plenty of common ground in opposing the cur- rent plans. Nick St Aubyn, who has represent- ed Guildford since the general election in May, said that the funding crisis in higher education “will get even worse....we can’t carry on like that.” Douglas Trainer, President of the National Union of Students attacked the Conservatives for having caused the cash shortage in the first place, but had some fierce criticism for the Labour Party, too, branding the Government “dead stupid” for introducing the proposals. Asked what realistic chance he stood of getting the proposals overturned by lobbying MP’s, he admitted that “our ability to get a revolt with a government majority of 170 is very limited.” Nick St.Aubyn,, Conservative MP for Guildford (above) Douglas Trainer , NUS President, Other speakers included a repreenta- And does anybody care? tive from the local Liberal Democrat Party, John Vincent, who in turn claimed that his party, too, was “100 % united against the Meningitis hits imposition of fees.” He said that the new scheme “will discourage students

  • MUTANT POP Big Catalog
    It’s the incredible free! MutantMutant PopPop Y Mailorder Catalog Hi again! Don’t forget to bookmark the web page: http://members.aol.com/mutantpop/index.html This month’s dose of joy is MP-30 VARIOUS ARTISTS “No Band Photo, Vol.1.” Yes, you read that right, no leather jacket boys on the sleeve, just a cool cartoon by Jeff Wilson, author of Sap. It looks swell and you get four little band photos inside along with my typical yeoman’s output of typos, so dry your little traditionalist eyes. Four bands for five bucks on two slabs of wonderful blue wax. THE FRATELLI’S are on side F, this is their first release ever. They’re four guys from Michigan and they deliver two uptempo, peppy, happy sounding cuts. “Nobody Likes Me Again” is the hit, an anthem for unpopular kids everywhere. THE FRATELLI’S fit into the puzzle next to bands like CARTER PEACE MISSION and THE KLOPECS, combining buzzing guitars and a warm, fuzzy ambiance with enough guitar grit to slide into the pages of Maximum Rocknroll. An excellent pop-punk band, I hope this is just the first of a series of FRATELLI’S stuff. Backing side F is side S. The big S stands for SPODIE and you certainly must know them by now. Their self-released “Pop Punk-a-Go Go” EP blows the doors off, their new split EP with PINCUSHION adds to their growing legacy. SPODIE is definitely the hardest of the four bands involved in this project, chas- ing it with two true-to-life relationship songs.
