the smoking indoors debate has been raging on the letters page for three weeks now. what compells these people?

the fact there's nothing else to read in drum perhaps?

i was interested to read that someone actually like the cops album.

and isnt retarded i should add.

there's plenty of text to read in drum, kabukiboy.

yeah but it just makes me angry! haha!

go arthur daley!

i wonder if all the people saying Sydneys scene is shit on todays Drum Media letters page actually go out and see bands, or if they just (t)roll into town when their favourite international band is in, or if there's a festival. Because really, the ignorance is infuriating

I love that Con Vaitsas or whatever can be spotted everywhere from Drum to Brag to SMH

I read the new one and it said about the Straight Arrows:

**But when the singer yelled, ''We are the greatest band in Sydney'' seemingly any respect was lost.

SOME PEOPLE JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha ha... ''the night opened with local fashion band, the straight arrows...''

oh dear, mitzi mackenzie-king what have you done... do you really want to incur the wrath of mondotopless?

what's a local fashion band?

do you only wear clothes purchased within a 2kms from where you live?

what's a local fashion band?

any band profiled in a general pants catalogue probably

there's some sort of weird vibe running through todays letters.

im close to calling shenanigans.

The letters aren't worth reading. They're boring and say stuff that doesn't need to be said.

That's saying something.

Maybe I should write into the drum!

dear drum,

All the letters you publish aren't worth reading. They're boring and say stuff that doesn't need to be said.

top work gary from campsie for bringing up that whole ''dj vs live band'' chestnut, we haven't had that for ages... (summary, he's pro live bands and anti dj's)

poor dj's. i blame guitar hero. hang in there, it's only a matter of time before turntables are cool again.

Nah, if it's about monty (for now, at least) it can be about my norks.

What's mine is his; what's his is mine etc etc.

Are you hoping someone will write a letter to Drum about them, AH?

only if they're railing.

Perhaps this Clelland bloke needs to write a review of them.

is law?

he is the law!

and for the record, im sure he'd review said abovementioned norks quite favourably....

lozza from woonoona, hey?

indeed.

least the metal band fonts is a new one.

ha. i didnt get the lozza reference until i saw a copy.

By the way, where is Ross Clelland?

chained in a cellar until they need someone who knows about stuff from the 80s or 90s...or radiohead or rage against the machine needs slagging.

Pockets key, looks for cat o' nine

no clelland fan club letters today, but this gem did make it in as a ps to another letter

On another note: to the guy from the follow, did we really need to have another missing Azaria?

no, clelland's back just appearing in the troy horse ads down the back.

on a similar page number to the photo of some fuzzy haired guy in this week's brag.

heh... is the fuzzy haired guy flanked by two hot backpackers? cos that'd be funny...

nah, just hair filling the frame...

go anon! so scene!!

i'd like to thank my sponsors, and the type of bourbon i drink.

if the fuzzy haired guy dancing to a dj with really awesome taste?

great letter today complaining about the bdo 09 lineup not living up to the glory years of...04.

and one bagging out punk.

that punk one is so lame it's funny!
