Introducing: The Spleen
When the NME relaunched it added a piss-poor excellent feature to it's letter page called The NME Brain. The idea is identical to that of the piss-poor excellent feature from the defunct Melody Maker called Dr. Rock whereby readers of the mag write in to ask such tricky questions as "Who were The Beatles?", "I've heard of this thing called vinyl, what exactly is it?", "How do I tie my shoelaces?" , "Why won't they let me near sharp objects?". and other such taxing questions which take at most 20 minutes to research; 5 if you don't look at porn first.
Now, at TiaPL we recognise blatant space filling when we see it, and we're never ones to turn down the chance to fill 200 words without doing very much effort, which is why from next week we're launching our ownpiss-poor piss-poor feature and giving you the chance to quiz The TiaPL Spleen. The TiaPL Spleen is full to bursting with all sorts of pop knowledge and we'd really like the chance to get empty it out a bit before it actually bursts, as we've heard that a ruptured spleen is not a good thing. To this end, we're asking you, the readership of TiaPL, for questions for the spleen. Any pop related question will do, questions such as "Why exactly is jumping so important in acquring Girls Alouds's kisses in the night?" , "Would I really be glad if I crashed the wedding?", "What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?", "Who Do you think you are?"and so on.
If you have any questions for the Spleen then leave them either in the comment box below, or you can send them to talentinapreviouslife@hotmail.com. And we hope you do, otherwise this feature will be dieing a very undignified death.
