MLM present a tasteless spinal tribute of alternative proportions to our Southern friend, Bono, who couldn’t make it to Glastonbury this weekend due to a back injury…

In a secret location, somewhere between Japan and the Atlantic Ocean, two men and a woman (think younger version of the Black Books cast) are beavering away every month to create the next issue of a magazine brimming with Northern Irish music and culture. There’s a mysterious element to these curious creatures though – each issue of their magazine, Alternative Ulster, carries a cryptic statement on its spine. 66 of them in all…

In an attempt to get to the bottom of their meaning, here’s a Google ‘I’m feeling lucky’ search result for each one… (Click the pictures to enlarge or alternatively the links to be taken to a parallel universe)
