I never heard back from them :( I fancied myself as a bit of a music hack, so I wrote some singles reviews that I though were pretty good. Stuff like "Caramba! The Spiceys are back, and this time they've been shopping in the latino-beats aisle of the great pop supermarket". I've just checked and I still have them... see http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~ceerab/about/music/smashhits.html (I'm particularly proud of that Portishead review "If you took the James Bond theme tune and bunged it through a washing machine at a high temperature, it would probably come out like this" indeed!)
