Aaahhh, back when it was a newspaper, and it had healthy competition from Melody maker.

A lot of these kids won't remember it, but back then it meant something. Happy days.

Why, how old are you? 50?

Old enough to be your postman.

Recognise the quote? Or have I beaten you on Morriss-ish trivia?

I feel sick looking at his lipstick, looks like a sort of young creepy granny.

To be honest, I knew that The Smiths were news back then. I'd be mor einterested to see what was third or fourth page news. Was Sinita being touted as the next big soul artist, or was it Five Stars next release that was clogging up the printers?

I somehow doubt that sinita was in NME!

Don't be so sure, they were strange times, and Boys boys boys was the flavour of the month, everybody was playing it. It was a kind of feminist pre-cursor to Some girls are bigger than others.

Let's not forget that it was only a few years later that Stefan Dennis* released Don't it make you feel good (feel good inside) on 7".

*A.K.A Paul Robinson from Neighbours.
