The godfather of DIY ,Mark .p`s year zero fanzine. Responsible for spreading the DIY ethos beyond the Kings Road,if it ever existed in that cesspit of consumerism!?
"Don`t just read this!Start your own Fanzine" he said earnestly in fluent photocopied typeface and scribble,in Sniffin Glue 5.
What he didn`t write ,by the way, was, the infamous,"...here`s three chords, now start a band...." piece. Which appeared at the end of 1976 in the Stranglers fanzine "Sideburns"!
Just had to put that pub myth to bed.

Hi, Nick. I take it you've got the Sniffin' Glue book that came out a few years back? Thoroughly recommended to you and to all readers of DODIY. As is just about everything Mark P's hand touched.
No styrene boy, i just have two repro's of issues 1 and 7!
But i may purchase said tome after your recommendation.
cheers,
Nick
Brilliant! Thanks for posting this.
I am sure Mark P. did the "here's a chord" thing as well, as I remember seeing it in an issue of Sniffing Glue. He might have just taken the idea after seeing it somewhere else (sideburns?)
I used to be sure the great Mark did the three chord thang, but later research suggested that this was a pub myth, like Seaman Staines was in captain Pugwash.But sometimes Pub Myths are true.
Generally i agreed with Genesis p. Orridge that three chords concedes too much to rock trad, and prefer the zero chords approach.
