Someone Said
Someone Said was a zine from Olympia, Washington, U.S.A., published by Tam.
Someone Said was a free zine released in the late 1980's. Issue one was photocopied and printed on color paper. Issue two was a large size black and white zine printed on newsprint in the style of a freesheet; unlike many freesheets however, it was equally divided between text and images.
Someone Said was focused on the underground scene, including independent music, comics, personal writing, poetry, photos, recording reviews, collage and graphics.
