| MARCELINE
SMITH [OVERLORD] |
Marceline
works constantly, struggling to keep control over the diskant
empire and the unruly staff. When not tearing at her hair in
horror of the amount of unreplied emails stacking up or planning
even more databases, she dreams of a diskant run by robot staff.

| SIMON
MINTER |
Simon
joined diskant after falling on his head.
His jobs include harassing the columnists, making dinky graphics
on demand, pointing out every single one of our typos and photocopying
tea. He relaxes by looking like Steve Albini and doing email
interviews with obscure record labels.

| OLLIE
SIMPSON |
Ollie
spends his days building connections with websites all over
the world. Amusing that, since he spends all his spare time
on a mere two websites - Skylab and eBay -where you can watch
him feverishly trade obscure US hardcore vinyl like a stock
market professional. When not doing that he also spends a
lot of time being very tall.

| STUART
FOWKES |
Stuart has been at diskant for a long time,
ever since the day he sucked up to the Overlord by interviewing
her for a popular careers magazine. In return we swamp him
with terrible, terrible demos every month and make him listen
to them all while we stand outside the door and cackle at
his screams of anguish. Sometimes he discovers an amazing
new band though and then he gets to look clever and we don't.

| DAVE
STOCKWELL |
Dave has been hanging around the diskant offices
for so long that we eventually had no choice but to start
talking to him. Our initial ploy of dumping all the leftovers
from the Review Box on him and telling him to write about
them all only made him keener so we thought we might as well
give him a job searching out some new and exciting record
labels.

| JOHN
COBURN |
John
is a long time diskant comrade, having paid his dues by spending
a couple of years in a cramped cupboard counting votes for
the Mogwai Artzine. Strangely the experience caused him to
love diskant with all his heart so now he spends his time
searching out fantastic new writings for us.

| CHRIS
HAIKNEY |
Chris
the shy and retiring type who only goes out 6 nights a week
unless there's something really exciting happening on the other
night as well. He used to look after our movie columns but he
was rubbish at it so we demoted him to general editorial person.
Let's see if he learns.

| GREG
KITTEN |
Greg
has many tasks, including keeping the diskanteers in check and
sucking up to the YahooGroups stormtroopers. When it all gets
too much for him he wanders off downstairs into the dusty List
Archives and amuses himself with the missives of bygone days...

| DISKANT
ROBOT |
The
orginal diskant robot having locked himself in a cupboard
in a failed attempt at getting more attention it's down to
Robot-7 to save the day. He's unable to move his arms so he
can't dance or punch cups but he makes up for it by running
very fast along surfaces [preferably linoleum] and has a fondness
for chinese tea and chocolate cake.

| DISKANT
KNIGHT |
Discovered
in the tiny lands of Essex, the diskant knight is the lordly
protector of the diskant discussion list. He is currently involved
in an apocalyptic war with a playmobil satan and a surfing pikachu
on top of the diskant TV but also spends many an hour planning
counter-attacks on the fearful Yahoo!Groups stormtroopers whenever
their quality of service drops and they don't pass on messages
quickly enough.
