So long as it doesn't disregard Kim Carnes, I'll be happy.

OK, now who's Toyah? This is all really rather informative - I now know Laura Brannigan can't lipsink worth a damn. Can anyone shed some light on what skill Toyah may have been deficient in?

Q: What was your school nickname?

A: I had a lot. When I was ten it was 'Barrel' because I was very fat. Then it became 'Toilet' when I was about 14

Thanks for the link Blir, spent many hours reading them again. The music reviews were usually spot on and the guest reviewers always made it more interesting, especially the one time Captain Sensible did it! [:D]

The magazine was one of my biggest influences and without it I would never have discovered bands like Malaria!, Small Ads and The Europeans.
