May,2001!The month in which I first heard of Muse.In this magazine they appear as three young men who are about to release their new album.Any hints? They say that "Plug In Baby"will be in their album,as well as "New Born",which will be their first single.They also say that "Feeling Good",which had been also played live,will be a B side.Matt says that their biggest influence for their album was RATM,who played with them a bunch of times (whaaaaaat?! And I missed it?!!)

But now they won´t,because according to ZDLR,"no one dared to take a step further,musically speaking.It was easy to predict how a RATM album would finish.It´s quite logical,in a way,if you want to keep your status and give a vision few people share.But the artist in me,and not only the activist,says that the art I create has to be criticised.But that turned out to be impossible because of our personalities and the terrible state of our relationships.It´s quite heartbreaking.When I came up with the idea of RATM back in 1989 so as to give a name for an Inside Out album I never thought that it´d become meaningless.I didn´t think I´d care if they continued without me,but...I came up with that name!That name is part of me,and I believe that if they keep on using it they might ruin what we did together.But Rage is also their musical identity.If that´s what they want to do,I´ll accept it.I´m not gonna tell them what to do with their lives".

I know what´s it like.I can tell you I kept for a year a copy of "High Fidelity"because it was nowhere to be found.And believe me if I tell you that I asked everyone I could think of so as to look for it all over the country.I found it in English,though.And that´s when I can relate again to your story.I found the English edition on a library which was part of a centre which my grandmother visited twice a week so as to swim.I would go with her when I was on holidays because I liked to read all those books.I remember I somehow liked one in which the main character was literally Matt!He wasn´t a musician but a writer (there you go! )who found a massive conspiracy,though.

I also have some "how to draw manga"books.I can´t say they were the best thing out there,but they somehow helped me.
