i've managed to get hold of an english translation of the booklet from the moodswings & roundabouts boxset (a limited edition of 100 by Darren Stockford)

bloody good read too & also got issue 1 of the 'something weird' fanazine thrown in too

Cost me a good couple of quid from ebay.com (worth every penny :lol:

)

Alas no...

In the Wildhearts' History, Darren wrote:May 1995

The one and only issue of Something Weird, my own Wildhearts fanzine, is published. It's the second Wildhearts zine ever to be released, but others eventually emerge, including News Of The World, 5 Miles High?!, Splattermania!, Shitsville (later changed to Boredom, when the editor's mum takes offence at the name), Felix, Broken Hearted and God Bless The Wildhearts.

What about the 'Ginger nuts' fanazine ?

by **Ean** » 5th Jan 08, 20:42

As it was edited by Darren's better half, it gets several mentions on its own...

March 1994 The first ever Wildhearts fanzine, Ginger Nuts!, is published, to which I contribute. Its editor, Tara Wilcock, sells all 100 copies at the Glasgow date (where Ginger is so impressed that he dedicates the show to both me and Tara, not realising that I'm not actually at the gig). Tara hastily reprints the issue and sells another 200 at The Forum in London, where we witness security trying to eject CJ from his own band's after-show party (CJ: "I'm in the fucking band!").

June 1994 Issue two of Ginger Nuts! is published.

Anyone got any of the Ginger nuts Fanzines ?

Never got them, but i do have all (I think) the issues of Jo Clark's God Bless The Wildhearts, including the genius lyric booklet she did using all the lyric sheets that came in the Japanese issues and, to drag it back on topic briefly, the book that came with Moodswings And Roundabouts.

Anyone know what happened to Jo? I've never seen her on here or the List...

I've also got a Five Miles High and News Of The World which, while being generally pretty good, does have the oddest Sky Babies lyrics ever in it. :wink:

I'll have a bash - it's not a great photocopy though...

by **Ean** » 6th Jan 08, 20:10

Apologies if anyone one here is actually responsible for these... :wink:

that carefully straddles the line between idiocy and genius, and nearly just caused me to piss myself laughing!
