I would like to take this time and space to clearify the "Bashing Moon: Noah & Moon Lie" article that appeared in issue 3 of Ska Mania. Many people completely missed the point of the coulmn. It wasn't about me being selfish and cryin cause I didn't get some free promo CDs, it was the fact that Noah Wildman, in my opinion, lied to a 15 year-old kid doing a monthly zine for no other reason than love for ska music. I would like to apoloize to Noah and Moon Ska for any pain or critisim that occured becuase of the coulmn. I still stand behind the article, however, as every word in the coulmn was 100% truth. And please STOP writing me about the article, it was an honest misunderstanding.

ATTENTION!!!

I'm looking for local scene news and reports from your city. If you would like to write a local report AND have your name publish send it to the above address or email it to me at Mottram5@erols.com

Any ska bands that would be willing to do an interview to appear in Ska Mania please write to me or email me.
