Fanzine Girl
Liner Notes
I'm behind at the game. I had company the last several days and it would have been rude to disappear to write and record songs. Here's my first song, lyrics written at the breakfast table and finished before noon. Please pardon the lack of editing and there are some performance errors. This is a song inspired by my youth in the early 1990s in the middle of that wave of punk music and fanzine culture. I imagine myself as an all-girl band on this track.
Lyrics
She's down at Kinko's in the middle of the night She typed her manifesto and the story of her life She's got underground comics and a PO Box Doc Marten boots and 70s tube socks
She's a fanzine girl, fanzine girl, fanzine girl She's a fanzine girl, fanzine girl, fanzine girl
She's got an Ibanez bass she's learning to play and posters on the wall of Ian McKaye She's saving up her money for the all-ages show and issues of Maximum Rock n Roll
She's a fanzine girl, etc.
She lives on Diet Pepsi and Marlboro Lights She’s got an entry level job and Poppy Z. Brite Blue Manic Panic soaking in her hair Shrimp ramen noodles waftin' in the air
Bridge (instrumental, poorly executed)
Chorus out

@unknownbecky Thank you!! I just uploaded it!
Oh man, I love these lyrics! This was also my early 90s life, although I wasn't bold enough for the blue hair. I love all the great details, all of which ring incredibly true. Would love to hear the music, even if you think it's poorly executed.

Kinko’s! Takes me back to the day. :) This is proper rockage. Great guitars! I’d love to hear a girl band play this.
