Subject: You Can Leave Me Out Yah.. Leave Me Out..
Hello Hello!
Well, I haven't got a whole lot to post about this time, but I do want to get out my thoughts on "Leave Me Out" Well for a while, up until about two weeks ago I hadn’t really felt any bond with it or anything, but I always loved the song, and it's hella fun to mosh too! But then my Dad and I got in a HUGE fight and things got really upsetting, and so I stormed up to my room and just blasted "Leave Me Out" And I realized that, that was how I felt about my Dad. I just wanted to tell him that "You can leave me out" and that I wasn't something that he owned and he couldn't control me, and that I didn't want to have anything to do with all the crap that he was bugging me with. The line "Oh, you can lead a thrown, but I'm something0 you don't own" Just seems to fit in my life a lot lately.
I just recently got the "Freak" singles from Jerry and I was wondering who does the weird backups on the cover of "Undecided"? And does anybody have the lyrics to "Punk Song #2" I think that I know most of them, but there are a few parts that I'm not quite sure on the lyrics.
And in case anybody wants to know there was a review (and from what I've heard it doesn't even have the right set list) of The Palace show from earlier this year I think. And it kinda pissed me off the way they talked about how it was all girls and how they all were teeny bopper girls screaming "I love you Daniel/Chris/Ben" Whatever..I mean that magazine had no right to basically call all fans of silverchair teeny boppers! I mean not ALL the girls who like silverchair like them ONLY for there looks yah know? It just isn't fair. Not to mention that heaps of boys like silverchair too!
That's about it for this weeks post from me!
Later!

Hello! I've sorta been the silent one on the list..which is a change from me on the FML... So, what Leave Me Out means...I think that if you had to pick one song that seems to describe what silverchair is all about, this would be it. The message is that "Hey, we aren't followers." sc is not following anyone. They are conpletely original. Look at Freak Show..when is the last time you heard, Bush, for example, use timpani drums or a sitar? K, I'm straying from Leave Me Out. But that's about it. It defines them. Well, *hopefully* you'll be hearing more from me in the future.
Love, Sarah The Pumpkingrrrl

Regardless of the amount of mistakes Heidi has made, the newsletter is still great. Better than the fml, which is really annoying because anyone can join and post any crap on it they want. Usually the stuff posted is really dumb and no one cares. I'd chose this newsletter over the fml any day.
My thoughts on Leave Me Out:
Leave me out makes me feel like I just wann tell my friends that I am my own person. With the first two lines of the song "Ooh you can lead a throne but I'm something you don't own" is basically how I feel quite a bit. My mother thinks just because she's my mother she can control my life and the way I live it. Some of my friends often think they can tell me what to do as well. I just feel like saying you don't own me and therefore can't tell me what to do. It's also a great live song!!! (aren't all 'chair songs?)

i'm not trying to be a bitch or anything but i'm gonna be 17 in a few days so i am definitely not 14. and on the bands i like it should be HOLE not ole. but this is cool. i don't know what you mean bye trade lists though.
Post the following: i started liking silverchair when i heard tomorrow on the radio. i really liked them at first cuz the song rocks and it sounded like GRUNGE. i LOVE GRUNGE. i love the music. i hate all the stupid fuck-whore-girls that saw their gorgeousness first and liked them for that only. those kind of posers should be burned at the stake. it's ok to think they are so attractive and i do think that but SILVERCHAIR IS A BAND NOT A THREE PACK OF SEX TOYS. Adore Silverchair for the music first then drool over their looks, but remember they are still only human. oh and daniel is mine, he waved at me and only me when they left the show in phoenix. bye. love, kelly (poison ivy green)

hi everyone. in response the thing about rumors. if you hear something, especially via the internet, take it with a grain of salt. there was a great article about exactly this in the july 1997 issue of Alternative Press. someone might start a a rumor as a joke and others don't get it and pass it on as truth. just a warning. i never heard a damn thing about daniel leaving and i think the radio would be all over that one if it were true.
hello daniel. it's nice to know this little club is not solely grrrls. welcome.
bye for now. love, kelly (poison ivy green)
