about

A friend of Mr. Plow's had a 4-track recorder and really wanted to record a demo album for us. I really applaud his effort to get all he could out of 4 tracks, but all the over dubbing, and mixing down tracks over and over ended up really distorted and muddy (we did a recording with that 4 track by using 1 track and hanging a microphone over us during practice. Turned out much clearer than this. Wish I didn't lose that tape, there was a very cool version of Cat Steven's "Moonshadow" on that recording). I included Starved for Attention because this is the only recording of the song we ever did, and I think its kinda cool. - Ken

lyrics

Spend another night sitting home all alone
I call you up on the telephone
Small talk just to hear your voice today
Too scared to say what I wanna say

I'm trying to get you to notice me
I hope I'm not acting foolishly
I am starved for attention
I'm trying to make clear my intention

When I got out find out where you're gonna be
Then I show up unexpectantly
Act like its a real coincidence
But its not an isolated occurance

I'm starved for attention won't you please notice me
I'm trying so hard can't you see
I'm dying for attention won't you please talk to me
Wouldn't you like some company

Drive by your house see if you are at home
Park out front and wait until you're alone
Knock on the door wonder what you will say
Hopefully you won't turn me away

about

The Chick Magnets Vancouver, British Columbia

The Chick Magnets played from 1997 until 2002 (dates approx). Ken Insipid played Bass, Lucas Spinoff on Guitar, and the famous Mr. Plow on drums. The music was pop punk, like Buddy Holly meets the Ramones. Fun stuff: the melodies will get stuck in your head and the beat will get your toe a tappin.
