Back in 1978, whilst we were busy at school with our O-Levels (!!!!!) Deano and I, with some good friends, decided to set up a music fanzine. Probably before music fanzines were invented!
It grew to a massive circulation of 12. Our XTC/punk loving, English teacher, Mr Salt was even on the mailing list.
We wrote about the best music around. Which was to us, at the time, Heavy Metal. It was an exciting time as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal had just arrived. We also liked some punk bands and disliked comercial music of the time such as ABBA.
Time moves on and music changes. We still enjoy the old stuff but there is also some top quality new stuff. So now, over 25 years later we have given the JODM a resurrection.
As interested 40-somethings we feel we can "....love the old and enjoy the new!"
That's why we are here in this bit of cyperspace. Enjoy!!
IF YOU LIKE THE J.O.D.M. (...ARE OVER 40!) AND WANT TO CONTRIBUTE, PLEASE DO SO VIA MY-SPACE E-MAIL.
