Prize Frenzy™!

WELCOME TO ISSUE NUMBER 400! Sorry, didn't mean to shout, but this is huge. You know how the line goes - "it's our birthday but you get the presents!" and in this, our 15th year, Frenzor(tm) has just nailed that clichˇ big time. A sweeping apology to all the publicists, artists and mignons that were cleaved in two as Frenzor(tm) cut a murderous swathe through Giveaway Central (although Puffio swears that Frenzor@'s claws were firmly crossed behind that scaled, glittering back), but on occasion such as this, neither gallantry nor grovelling held any sway - the goods were ours (erm, yours).This landmark issue sees giveaways ranging from double passes to some awesome upcoming shows, to loads of CDs by the best and biggest names in the industry, as well as mountains of other goodies like posters, stickers, postcards and block mounts. So here's a piece of advice from Frenzor(tm): don't miss your chance to take home one of these babies, ring this Friday arvo at 1 pm on 8231 0881. Seriously...
