Ted Leo/Zach Galifianakis split 7"

[masterofsparks]

I got a free DVD and issue 18 in my package plus a couple of stickers. Sounds like I'll be getting the missing 7" sometime soon.

[yesno]

the paper sleeve is too big on the 7", it won't fit into the plastic.

I just got done throwing away the issue of Chunklet #20 the 7" came with.

Well done, Tomas!  The issue is horrifying -- much worse than I expected, and I expected it to be the biggest piece of s-hit ever.

Really? This magazine is no good? Or is there some sort of complicated irony at work in these posts?

[yesno]

Henry Owings is a very talented graphic designer!  I think I even heard somewhere that he was nominated for a grammy.

edit:  the magazine does stink, like Omar says below.  It's mostly lists of things.

No irony.  It stinks.

I will say this: it takes forever to read!

I have never seen an issue of Chunklet but hearing about it reminds me of the Grand Royal.  Any similarities?

[Kid Pain]

issue 20 is a bit list heavy, but I'd say its pretty darned hard to find more bang for your buck.

I have a hard time dumping on it, because I like Henry and his choice in comedic friends (and he was really nice to me when the CoC were in Pittsburgh last year), and it ain't like there are tons of other magazines giving Jon Glaser page-time. But then you read a question about beardcum, and read these pissy "me likey" lists about funny words for farting or tearing into bands these guys shouldn't even know exist or pay attention to anyways... and it makes me dislike the people involved (even if I laughed at a few). Catch 22, big time.

The PFT article has some good stuff in it, although all the comedian interviews would have been better served on podcasts or as videos, or anything but print I guess.

I'd wreck Owings' shit at whirlyball though.

There is a pretty great Scharpling and Wurster full-page ad in this issue, though.

"THERE'S STILL SOME ROOM ON THE BUS!"

[kimota]

yeah!!  i just got mine!

hey Chunklet thanks!! and thanks for sending me a ticket the Mastodon show that i cant go to, anyone want it?

Was it for the Oct. 11th show?  I got a ticket for that show in my package today.

i thought about getting the rock bible, was it worth it?

if your friends think youre an elitist when it comes to (live) music, then youll enjoy this book.


writers note: i dont consider myself elitist, but apparently, i am.  its not my fault they dont know the "rules" (i.e., you dont wear the band's shirt to the show youre going to, you dont listen to the band youre going to see on the way there, however, on the way back is okay)- not things i considered "rules", per se, mostly stuff i never did because it felt stupid.

What were the different sleeves that came with this?  I know my friends got a "hardcore" sleeve with a Negative FX rip.  I don't think mine came with one, although hearing that the sleeves are too big makes me think I should check my package again.

[Taverner]

which mastodon show? i'll take it if it hasnt happened yet...

[VeraCruz]

I just got my picture disc. There was a mix-up with my order and I received a different CD than the one I ordered, but the good folks at Chunklet corrected the problem and sent the right one.

The new version of "Rock and Roll Dreams'll Come Through" is absolutely stellar!
