Another blast from the past. I just wanted to repost this because it saddened and disgusted me anew that this compilation- put together by someone from Connecticut and rejecting ACTUAL VERMONT punk girls like, oh, I don’t know, me, for example has gotten publicity for their bullshit fake “Vermont grrl’ compilation.

The details are in the journal I posted, but for the tl;dr attention span crowd- yeh. I’ve been in punk and grunge bands on and off since the late 80s. I moved to VT in 1988, but before that I was part of the scene in Greenwich Village, not only a regular attendee of matinee shows at CBs, but I also played shows at and can remember places like Neither/Nor, ABC No Rio and the No Se No at RivSkool.
I was the editor of my own zine, Alphabitch Afterbirth, during the 90s, part of which I lived in Olympia WA.
But, you know. Not punk enough for these posers.
I suffer from depression. This shit nearly broke me. I’ve had a lot of blows from people trying to erase my importance and relevance in scenes I was a part of from the very beginning.
As I said then, is relevant still now:
What can YOU do? Not much, really. It’s their label, and whoever runs the sandbox makes the rules, of course. But you can go to their page if you’ve ever liked any of my music, my zines, or my show, and you can tell them any ways in which you think they’re wrong. I doubt they’ll answer or care, but it’d be nice to know I had at least a few folk who noticed I was there. Here’s their page:
