WHERE WERE YOU IN FEBRUARY 1995? (An Elvis Slag Magic Minute) Ah, four months ago! Incredibly it seems like only four months ago - because it was! But why wait 25 years before cashing in on the nostalgia for February 1995? What a month! How could we leave it behind? 1995! Remember those crazy hair cuts? The wild fashions? Remember when Max TV seemed like an interesting thing? When you wondered who that upper lip belonged to - and were horrified to find it was Sheryl Crow!? February 1995! They were the days! Heather Nova had yet to walk this world and the Headless Chickens were still at number one (in fact, they were still the Headless Chickens). February, 1995!! National was in power, Jim Anderton was still basically wrapped in a big box and exported to the Netherlands and down in sunny Wanganui, citizens could still walk through the city park without bumping into ungainly dwellings built from corrugated iron and flags. If you wanted to make a phone call in February 1995 - you could! Telecom phone lines were still working then, and if a fault took more than two nanoseconds to repair the company would choose a repairman at random and flay him alive! And cellphones were still for rich people - isn't that how it should always be? Ribidup magazine was very different in February 1995. When music fans picked up their copy they'd find a different band on the cover, and different stories inside. Some of the record reviews were different too. On the TV, home viewers tuned in to news programmes and also TVNZ news. You only had to put up with Judy and the Other Guy for half an hour, and people used to watch something called Holmes. February 1995! The Rolling Stones were due to play here, and each week newspapers would run a story saying that they were due to play here! Sometimes there'd be little drawings to go with the newspaper stories, and other times there would be photographs of the people in the band with their names underneath. Duh. February 1995 was four months ago - four months that make up a nation's history. What fits in four months? 25 episodes of Shortland Street? Departure of 50% of the cast of Shortland Street? 16 schedule changes by TV3 programmers? Half an issue of Planet?

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LOU REED The Society for the Preservation of Lou Reed was formed about eight seconds after the release of U2's cover of 'Satellite of Love'. Following Duran Duran's recent release of 'Perfect Day', membership subscriptions have almost doubled. Total membership for the society now stands at 47,000, although it is possible that Shayne Carter has joined more than once by using different names. The Society's aim is to preserve the music of Lou Reed from being covered by talentless shits, particularly those belonging to bands such as U2 and Duran Duran. While the Society acknowledges the contribution these musicians have made to the general rock'n'roll Zeitgeist (including providing the raw elements that would later be combined to make Suede and Oasis, with the leftover bits going to Elastica), the Society wishes they would leave the work of Lou Reed alone. If you would like to join the Society, please answer the simple question in the form below. Tick the original lyric by Lou Reed: Her name is Rio / and she dances in the sand I still haven't found what I'm looking for L Heroin / you made a man out of me Yes! I would like to Join the Society for the Preservation of Lou Reed. Name: Address: Stereo wattage: I have been listening to Lou Reed...

SEPARATED AT BRITH? On the left, a copy of the May issue of Metro. On the right, a magazine published in the same month. We wonder if, by any chance, they might be related??
