Last night, I attended a party for Chunklet
at Quimby's. A copy of the latest issue,
with the "Pay to Not Play" cover story, provided endless entertainment during
the lulls between calls when I was volunteering at the WLUW pledge drive,
and it didn't leave me feeling guilty the way the Double Stuff Oreos did.
In the same spirit as the Well Hung
at Dawn Column on RollingStone.com, the 'zine pokes fun at bands and
makes jokes about semi-obscure music that are funny just for the obscurity
of it. For example, a piece in Chunklet pondered which label was most likely
to reissue Hunters & Collectors albums. I can think of maybe two people
other than myself in the whole United States who even know of Hunters &
Collectors well enough to care.
Issue 17 of the irregularly-produced Chunklet is available at Quimby's, from
the Chunklet web site, or I suppose wherever else fine zines with irregular
production schedules are sold.
