Letters

Um... yeah... what? Yeh, I jus’ wanna thank Punk Guy for his wicked letter, it jus’ virtch went off man, and I agree about the Fat Wreck Chords bands — they Eire sick! They fully go off, they just fully go.off man. I went to NOEX and I was just virtch shakin’ man, I was buzzin/ . out, it was so filth! It was like virtch full on man, just totally full. on, like stagediving an’ everything. I was like, drinking before it, so I was like, buzzing the whole time, and my mate goes, “This is filth!”, and I’m like, “Nah not half!”, and I was just yelling. at Fat Hike, I was virtch shouting, “Play

Punk. Guy! .Play■ Punk Guy, and he was virtch looking at meman, I swear, he was lookin’ at me an’ all! NOEX rocked! The moshpit was virtch fullonbuzzinvirtchwicked man, it ;was just filthsickvirtch lull on nan, buzzin’,totally Full on. Virtch. Buzz. Buzz. Punkity Punk Punk, Auckland. Up The Reviewers! I have been reading RipltUp. . since I was a little thing (that’s a lie). One thing I am happy about is the consistency of the album reviews; Gavin Bertram, is fair, Mac Hodge does not talk too much crap, and Martin Bell is onto it. Hodge has made my day by

exposing the reality that Monkey Puzzle and. Brubeck’s skate/surf thrash music is just shit If I was a skater having to listen to that music all day I would be an angry young man. If I was a surfer I would paddle out into Cook Strait and never come in. Keep up the good reviews and I will keep forking out my money to read them. Steve Burton, Wellington.

Talk Of The Town What a great thing it was reading your Making Music article'on the go it alone-ers (RIU 237 & 238). Especially

Jed. Town’s r contribution and. helpful hints. He inspired me back when he was with the

Features, and Fetus etc. And. his latest words are the same. A true entertainer in the best sense, if? anyone' remembers Jed and friends’ energy and

originality back in the mid to late 70s and early to mid 80s. Top marks RipltUp. It’s stuff like this that keeps me reading your magazine. Teddy Bear, Christchurch. Write to RipltUp, Po Box 5689, Auckland 1, or fax (09) 358 2320, or e-mail at ripitup@clear.net.
