Dum Ditty Dum is a critical rock fanzine that randomly generates a date during the rock epoch (between 1950 and 2017) and looks at the music and events that happened that day. To draw conclusions about that moment. To understand by inference the total set of ad-hoc forces operating on the spectrum of popular rock music in that single arbitrary moment. This is the first chapter in an eventual complete history of rock music.

Never Mind the Bollocks, Decade, News of the World, Godley and Creme, Chic, Red Army Faction, Olivia Newton John, Nazareth, and much much more.

I don’t wanna holiday in the sun
I wanna go to new Belsen
I wanna see some history
‘Cause now I got a reasonable economy
