Your Say It was nice to talk to you, and it was a thrill to be noticed and mentioned in print. Your name is very interesting - is it Baltic? or Balkans - hard to pinpoint. Thanks for everything Nike From Greg Taraldsen. Nike Reikjavike replys: I'd like to commend Greg on his attitude! I gave him a somewhat critical review, and he thanks me!! Other reviewees, take note! Thanks for the demo Greg and I hope the charity gig went well. I've now revised my estimate and say: Greg Taraldsen for World President! PS. My name is neither Baltic or Balkans in origin. Rather, it is Ballocs (a small ethnic division of the little-known state of Sudunum.)

Art scene clues and underage blues Also in this issue, Terry Noone explores the forces that govern what we hear and that form our understanding of what kind of music we enjoy. Do we really have a choice about what we listen to? Or are we simply conditioned by the gatekeepers of the media? How has the complex new media of the internet affected the equation?In reviews, we look at the Rock for the Roses benefit for cystic fibrosis - an event with a breathtaking lineup of performers, but surrounded by some breath of mystery concerning venue and sponsorship changes. And while Faithless celebrate with their fans at the Vodaphone Arena, Clinkerfield have come out with a new album that might become a cult classic amongst those who value musical interest and lyrical passion more than a polished sound. The same band once again reveal their comic talents in The Clinkerfields, this time spread to a darker, more yeasty edge than usual. And a new comic segment, News In Breve, will ensure that you will never think of Mariah Carey, Eminem, Mike Tyson or dental floss in the same way again. In Rising Stars we find two very different entities: Rosario Di Marco, an exotic guitarist who wants to change the world through a mythical island of music; and Girl Pilot, an incredibly young but frighteningly skilled group, a family band in the dark zone. We begin a new series of interest to all bands who want to make money from their craft, and continue to delve deeper into the world of harmony. And God knows, we all need more of that.
