Well, obviously 'zines! All sorts of music as long as it's interesting but especially punk and metal, Vegetarianism, nature and the environment, environmental education, 1970s Japanese cars, good films, cycling, hiking, tattoos, thunder and lightning really close, being outdoors in the dark, getting excited by fungus and plant galls, cord flares, Nuneaton Borough football club.
Music
Music is very important to the 'zine, but it's not in it!
Television
destroys your mind
Heroes
everyone who thinks about what they're doing and how that affects those around them, everyone who writes a 'zine...
About me: Hey there! I'm jon and i write a little 'zine called "you can't say no to hope...". It's basically a punk 'zine with no music and a focus on nature and the environment. It's 8 A5 pages, and it's FREE! I've been doing it since late 2003, with the first one out in that november with just 20 copies on white A6 paper. Now it's up to issue 11 on A5, the layout and content is a million times better, and i'm up to a few hundred copies!
I'm trying to get away from the columns/interviews/reviews blueprint that most 'zines tend to have, so there's none of that in it! The only constant in it is the centre spread on how to make stuff, so far i've had bird boxes, insect homes, hedgehog houses, bat boxes, log torches, log piles and one more that i can't remember at the moment...
If you want a copy then just drop us a line on the email, or better still write to me at 317 Bucks Hill, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 9LD, England, and i'll send one out to you! I'm always looking for folks to distro it as well...
Anything folks send to me will get reviewed in the blog thing on here to keep the 'zine review free.
Hot news! Issue 12 is here, get in touch if you want one...
Who I'd like to meet: you. only if you're sound though, not a twat.
If you want to send a friend request, at least send me a little message saying hello....
Free 'zines! i want your 'zine for my distro, i'll trade or pay cold hard cash!

You went to uni in Stoke? Cool! I've been on two visits now, last year and this one for my friends' wedding. Newcastle is quite nice, we always go for Sunday lunch at the same pub and this time I walked barefoot through a garden covered in cherry blossom petals. :) They do Westons too for a superior price!
I'm back now, and so are the books, to the detriment of my spine. I got some good Margaret Atwoods and loads of arts and crafts how-to books for 99p each. SCORE! :) x
yeah i admire your philosophy, i intended to do a zine that didnt really fall into the blueprint of reviews and all that too. i am putting interviews in though, i think its interesting to hear what people have to say.
