P482 Teletext 482 Jan26 22:11:11 ———————————————————————————————————————■ Why do you review most singles that are released, but when it comes to Babylon Zoo there's zilch? For your information, the new single All The Money's Gone is out now and the LP King Kong Groover is released on February 8 - the day before my birthday! Val, Sunderland Void replies: We reviewed the single yesterday, AND the people at Club 140had a chat with Jas. As for us, we reckon he should have gone the whole hog and called his LP Zip Gun Boogie.———————————————————————————————————1/9— DJ Eric's French connection 483 NOW IT'S EVEN EASIER TO FIND LOVE: TELETEXT DATING ITV p390DJ Eric Reviews Cinema Total Ents
P482 Teletext 482 Jan26 22:11:31 ———————————————————————————————————————■ Hippy Fascist: Your lyrics are from Elvis Costello's masterpiece I Want You on his 1986 LP Blood & Chocolate. In my experience, unscrupulous young men borrow their brother's Costello Greatest Hits, impress unsuspecting young women with how sensitive they are by playing this track, whisk themoff to the bedroom and are never seenagain. I'm not bitter. Cat, by e-mail■ The Costello track I Want You is alsocovered by Scarfo as a B-side on the the Cosmonaut#7 single.

P482 Teletext 482 Jan26 22:11:51 ———————————————————————————————————————3 ■ Finally, there is a decent No1 in the wonderful Offspring single. It's just a shame that the recognition they deserve hasn't come earlier over here, unlike in the US. And it's a tragedy that Sebadoh's Flame didn't get to No3, to complete a respectable Top Three. Such a fine single deserves a much higher chart placing than 30. Laura, Wolverhampton■ Can any Everclear fans out there tell me exactly what the truth is about Aunt Virginia?

P482 Teletext 482 Jan26 22:12:31 ———————————————————————————————————————■ For funeral music, I'd go for a song by Jeff Buckley, either Last Goodbye or his version of Satisfied Mind. So as to not be too sombre, I'd follow this with The Idiot Kings by Soul Coughing, and then for a laugh I'd finish with Underground by Ben Folds Five. Jack Nobbledy, by e-mail ■ Does anyone have an address where I can get in touch wiuh Squeeze? I'd be eternally grateful if you could write ASAP.

P482 Teletext 482 Jan26 22:11:11 ———————————————————————————————————————■ Mad Martian (20/1): The tune which samples the Braveheart music is Protect Your Love (For The Love Of A Princess) and it's by DJ Sakin And Friends. It's due for release Feb 22, and there's a blinding Lange remix. I'd also recommend Systematic Partts' Violin De Le Nuit, Good Shot by Hans Burns, Happiness Happening by Witness, the Doors-inspired Women Of Angels by Brutul Bill, and Tilt's version of Children. Hard house and trance at its best. The Fainter, Presto& ——————————————————————————————————7/9—— More musical hoo-ha in Club 140 DJ ERIC'S FRENCH CONNECTION p483
