          What made u wanna start up a zine and then a label?
          For the zine I used to be really into music & was writing to a few bands
          so I thought I go further & get them on paper, at the time I just got into reading
          fanzines such as Lemon & Resistant Harmony(those were the only two I had seen so I just wrote to Louise & Scotti & they just gave me an idea of how to do the zine & lots of advice. & It went from there..
          The label was just an extension from that & just me trying to force my
          musical believes in the audio arena. It's alright to write about music but to get the kids
          to listen to decent music then you gotta put in their faces...

          first was when and what was in it???
          I made the TMT*1 in late 1991 which was more of a cartoon really bad, &
          I made two copies. *2 came out in early 1992 which had chats with Spiderbait & The
          Welcome Mat, it was a little dodgy but it went over east & I got a decent response
          for it, a lot better than I expected.

          yr dream show would feature what bands (say 4 or 5 bands will do i
          thinks)
          SNUFF,LEATHERFACE,SCREECHING WEASEL blah it would be too many to
          mention really I'd have a  day fesitival ala the Big Day out but with good bands, inside & at a small venue(so thats not really like the BDO now is it!) .

          3 words that describe captain cleanup
          What a great question!One word though= STRYPER!(cos he dressed in yellow
          & black) Plus he had that batmobile type car with those wings.

          do u remember the school logo for goollelal primary school?
          That was a magnificant design of the swamp(or should I say lake
          Goollelal) Do you remember the school song? now that was quite great as well & i still
          have the rendition the school choir did of that on tape. The only thing I didn't like about the school was that I was Red faction & I had to wear that god awful colour on sports days & worse cos I was the school sports captain I was more visiable than most.
          (i think it was learning sharing and caring or some shit, thought up by my yr 4 teacher whom i cant remember bleh? - me)
          fave record/band(durrr snuff?)/label etc @ present
          Duh right of course it is Snuff as far as label I think Crackle records
          in England is the most consistent. Fat & Honest Dons puts out lotsa goodies so does Empty & Asian Man.

          worst interview uve given/ written and why?
          Theres been a few mail interview we've done which just take ages & the
          response back was terrible. I've had chances to interview bands I don't really like but
          I just don't take them cos i rather not let them have free coverage. Didn't anser the
          question now did I?

          finish this sentence ; cheese on toast makes........
          a good snack add a bit of tomatoe & I've just had my standard
          dinner(when I cook!)

          when will maggoo ever do his own tmt?
          Never!  Magoo is the worst guy when it comes to do anything but write/dribble record reviews. He's not to be trusted & if you see him in the ring hit with the steel chair when the ref isn't looking. I don't know Iv'e given him the opportunity to do it for about 3 years now!

          burt "the fuck" newton arrives at yr doorstep for whatever fukn
          reason, what do u do:
          (a) throw that hanson cd in yr hand at his head ( i love yr in love with
          zac, hes such a cutie)
          (b) bust out the moves and poledrive his head into cement
          yelling "yr arse is grass moonfaced fuck!" and saluting the devil
          (c) dowse? him in gasoline and "light his fuse man!"
          (d)     other_____________________________
          I would bust out the moves & we'd have a dance off like in Grease except
          that my partner would be Jennifer Love Hewitt  he'd have Madge from Neighbours & we'd win. Then it would WWF styled wrestmania for the 2nd round.

          last record u bought
          Can't remember really. Maybe Chixdiggit or something like that

          will rabbit ever go into vinyl?
          Yes, depends on that VB character plus the rabbit vinyl side shuld be
          called SQUIRREL after that Neesham fella.

          fave track on "its not funny anymore"
          Tough one! I like the Crank tracks the best along with the Caustic cover
          of "Romeo & Juliet" even though R & J has been ruined for me by having Leonardo
          playing him arrgh!

          how much did u pay express magabore for the review of yr rather
          excellent cd
          One cd & 1 beer & a lot of charm!

          5 things that makes u wanna shout fuck, or spazzmotically beat the
          living shit outta whoever is around u
          JJJ, JJJ fans, A current affair & Real Life or whatever that show is
          called & any show that has Australia's funniest/weirdest/whackiest/strangest in the title of the show.

          who should the masses look out for in the near future
          Locally I would say Love Camp 7 & Mach Pelican. Nationally Crank &
          Caustic Soda & wordly try John Cougar Concentration Camp,Travis Cut,Scare of
          Chaka,Jesse, Chixdiggit blah so many!

          how many words can u make outta the word millivanilli -
          None its too complexed

          who was yr fave new kid on the block
          I didn't likea any of them at the time but I do like Marky Mark cos he
          was a fucked up hustler in his youth & now he gets to fuck both Heather Graham & Reece Witherspoon.

          best and worst thing about doing a zine/label
          Best things= good people you meet& getting to know over the years, free
          records, doing something that someone might enjoy

          Worst things= delays,fuck ups of other people, getting ripped off, no
          responses & general lethargy of some people & losing money.

          do u think ull forgo either zine or label in the future to
          concentrate on a single project or do u still find time for both?
           the label will keep running & hopefully will start running self
          sufficiently so we can get more than one release a year out. The zine will go as long as there are cool bands out there who aren't getting the attention they deserve.. But it'll just take longer for each issues to come out.

          what the fuck does tmt stand for?
          Thats a secret! no it could be Too Much Time, the Mat thing & these
          mersh times which are some of the things I've come up with over the years.

          what does rabbit and tmt have planned in the future???
          More cds more vinyl maybe? TMT just more dribble

          favourite food/colour/beer/ - im really struggling now aint i haha
          Hotdogs,hamburgers anything bad & I like glass or 10 of VB, I'm colour blind so..

          first cd u bought
          I can remember the 1st tapes I got were KISS-Dynasty & SPLIT ENZ- True
          Colours... I think I got my 1st cd when I was about 13 so it was probably it was
          either The Angels or ACDC or something like that cos I was into hard rock!

          jjj =
          follow the leader, a bunch of sheep following a bunch of crooks her bend over backwards for crap music & supporting only the lowest common denominator ie explain frenzal rhomb? while ignoring so many decent bands. I guess they do break a few bands over the years but it just brings more idiots to their gigs..& I do love Roy & HG & Mikey & Sandy aren't too bad either. But whoever is the programmer might as well be at PMFM there really isn't much difference.

          famous last ramble?
          BLAH.... check our web site!
