“Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Romo?”
Yes I’ve dusted off the scanner and once again sit scanning ephemeral pop trivia late into the night. There’s been too many requests in the intervening months for me to try and fulfil, this just caught my eye. Got love Pricey tearing Pearl to shreds, although I do quite like her Price Cube dig. Anyway…I guess this goes with this.
Oh and Andy Catlin got in touch. Go to his website to see nice pictures. http://andrewcatlin.com

Ahhh… Romo. Even though I was a slip of a 14 year old at the time (or perhaps because of it), I remember the Romo Explosion and very rapid subsequent Romo Shrivelling so vividly that I can actually remember this letters page.
It was a genuinely exciting time – but then in a pre-internet age where weeks or months could pass between reading about a band and actually hearing them, I remember heartily wholfing up the hype.
Thanks for posting it Charles!

I really like your site, although it’s wasted hours of my life. I’ve written about it here:

Hi. Did your scanner break or something? Oh, I’m missing these trips to the past, please come back!
