The Electric Say What has existed online, in some form or another, since 1995. Back when I first launched it on the web, it was on Geocities, a very popular free hosting service in those early days of the web. It was a way in which I could put excerpts of my zine, Say What, out into the world.

Say What was a zine I started in 1993- I had a lot of writing and graphics that I wanted to share- particularly in Bancroft, the small town I've lived in and around for most of my life. Each time I did a "print run" (ie. had access to a photocopier or cash to run off a bunch of copies) I did an equal number of copies of all the issues up to that point, as such, issue #1 was the most widely circulated.

I've received a lot of feedback on it over the years, mostly positive. ;-) Recently, a young man in Maynooth told me how much it opened his mind and broadened his perspective on life!

It also received a rather favourable review in Broken Pencil- the issue they reviewed is issue #4.

I have scanned all 6 issues and converted them into cbr files- you can find links to download them at the bottom of this page.

Be forewarned, the subject matter and language in these publications may not be suitable and/or may offend some readers...

That said, on with the show!

Given the tools for self-expression,
the throat stops,

the mouth gapes,

and the mind reels,
