No Ripcord Writers Profiled

This new feature enables to see who's reviewing what and what sort of stuff they like. There are four writers all with varying tastes and opinions. This page may be regularly updated...


David Coleman:

When we asked our Ironside-worshipping editor what he had been up to, he replied "Correcting all the mistakes made by my useless writers. I mean, you call this english?? Seldom have I seen such lack of a basic grasp of language." OK, how would the "chief" have sorted it out? "Well, he'd have sacked everyone of them, completed writing the rest of the fanzine himself before setting out to solve the murder." Murder? What murder? "..errr. It's nothing. Nevermind." Indeed. Still, when we asked Blackburn Rovers loving Dave if he relished the chance to visit that bastion of football, the County Ground, Swindon, the phone went quiet bar the sound of quiet sobbing and mutterings of "...bastards...bastards"

Five Favourite Songs of the moment:

1) Desolation Blues - Gorky's Zygotic Mynci
2) Black Limo - Rico
3) Easy Life - Eugene Speed

Person to die first in Musical Revolution: At the moment that would be the whole of White Orchid

Adam Booth

Adam is the laziest No Ripcord writer - he's renowned for copying press releases instead of writing reviews. But he did come up with the name at least. Adam's new column "Rad Riffs and Mad Tabs" starts next month (replacing the "Classic Riffs" section). He'll tab out any requests to, so send them his way at: rico@nme.com

Likes: Placebo, Smashing Pumpkins, Idlewild, Vast,

Webpage: Porphyria - Adam's Band.


Peter Mattinson

When we asked lazy layabout Peter what he had been up to, he replied: "Well, as you know, I have no job and so my days are fairly empty and pointless. Therefore, I spend all night watching crappy TV cumulating with Jobfinder at 3:00 AM. By depriving myself of sleep at night, I fill my days up asleep in bed. Brilliant!" When we enquired whether he used Jobfinder to actually find a job, we were met by five minutes hysterical laughter. Anyways, what are you five favourite songs of the moment Peter?

1) Marlene On The Wall - Suzanne Vega
2) There She Goes - The La's
3) It's The End Of The World As We Know It - REM
4) She's Lost Control - Joy Division
5) Another Girl, Another Planet - The Only Ones

Person to die first in Musical Revolution: "Well, I would say Kurt Cobain, but he seems to have done me a favour on that one, ha ha! That obviously leaves me with Robbie Williams."
