Chunklet probably happy about Paste, need $$ for indie cred

what

look at that lil chunklet!

who

what

...a fucking tool henry owings is

He looks like he eats a lot of Hummus :(

Chunklet is consistently a good read. Paste wasn't.

Henry is a good guy, Chunklet is a great site, and the issues of Chunklet are, cover to cover, awesome. He puts out great records, puts on awesome shows, and does more for indie music than just about anyone out there. To bitch about Henry is to confess you don't know shit about music or have any pride in what you listen to.

^Thanks for your comment Henry.

/\ he would never stoop to something like that. He doesn't give a shit if you like him or not

>>"To bitch about Henry is to confess you don't know shit about music or have any pride in what you listen to."<<

And this, my friends, contains all you need to know about what is wrong with the music community today.

Allow me to reply:

FUHHHHHHHHHHHHCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

henry owings is a fat fucking asshole.

henry owings is a fat funny asshole.

henry owings has a funny asshole.

i was looking for a way to spend money on ads.

^^ That's a really awesome rejoinder, for reals. Kudos

Whether you like the guy or not, you gotta admit the idea for a book titled "The Indie Cred Test" is pretty worthless.

i fucked henry owings fat asshole.

Why does he need a traditional book publisher anyway?

"The Indie Cred Test" huh? I will be sure to file that next to my copy of The Hipster Handbook, A Field Guide to the Urban Hipster, The Preppy Handbook, Gothic Charm School, and every other horribly cliched zingfest I own.

i can't wait till dudes with beards and plaid finally get what's coming to them

Anonymous comments are the true sign of weak-ass pussy incarnate. Put your name where your lame, unfunny, mouth is ya fucking cupcakes.

^not his real name

I prefer my pussy incarnate. Everything else smacks of necrophilia.

/\ Not your real name either. But a very good appraisal of how you'll be regarded for the rest of your life

I put my real name on only important subjects. ie...

Does anybody know a good hummus recipe?

John Patrick Yoss. Beltsville, Maryland. Now take your ^ symbol and jam it in your left eye socket, Anonymous bag-of-coward.

What A freakin Hummehss!

In response to Mr.John Yoss.

When you post consistently the moderator likes to ban ye olde ass for Hummehs jokes that step over the line or not.

Alright you irony clad boring predictable hipsters, who call each other ..hipster why can't you all agree that your all sad incestuous fools.

The "indie cred test"? This "culture" has become absurd beyond belief? Dont acknowledge or give attention to Jack Johnson or jack White.

Well put 7:47 PM. I hope you dont own those books though.

People like to bitch and moan, people just like to...."Chunklet smile, won't you smile a while for me? Chunklet smile."

Chunklet is the best music magazine, period.

I guarantee anyone who talks shit about Chunklet or Henry either a) has never read the magazine/books/website or b) got bad mouthed (99% of the time for good reason) in the magazine/books/website. In both cases you are a sad piece of shit

Henry my money is on the way.

2 comments - 2 days apart, is considered "posting consistently" thus thee all mighty BV "moderator" might ban me; given he/she finds the time in between picking out which scarf to wear with today's t-shirt? Oh for fuck's sake. Sad,

Why would anybody give this guy money to publish a book? Is he going to pay you back when he gets the proceeds from selling the book? Or is he going to just pocket the profits for himself?

If he needs an advance to write the book, he should go to a publisher.

There are currently about 1,100 +/- Kickstarter projects in motion. Each is vetted. Having worked for & with them & Diaspora, "profit" is a laughable goal. It's people or organizations reaching outside the norms of fund raising and going straight to their demo. Said project will live or die accordingly. Which is the way it ought to be.

If he doesn't think he can make a profit with his "Indie Cred Test" he shouldn't bother publishing it. He's just wasting paper.

1. Ever hear of "recycling" - books are printed using that method all the time, really, they are.
2. Attention all bands, filmmakers, writers, any and all creative folks of any stripe: if you don't see a sure profit in your endeavor, STOP.

Attention all bands, filmmakers and writers, if you have to beg for donations to contine your endeavor PLEASE STOP.

This word "beg/begging" is being thrown around in a much too broad manner. It's lazy & just makes for a weak insult. Donate or don't. Very simple notion. I'm sure glad Coppola "begged" UA for more $$$ during Apocalypse Now.

^The money UA gave Coppola was not a "donation". You are throwing that word around in a "much too broad manner".

Isn't the idea of "indie cred" as something worth striving for a very 90s notion? Makes sense that this would be something Chunklet would pursue, then.

Not to get too far afield, but Coppola had to agree to forgo his OWN salary to get more money. Have you heard the phone calls? That dude was b-e-g-g-i-n-g. You may now commence with the mockery of comparing Apocalypse Now & this book some guy is try to do (which was the point anyway). Point being Coppola BEGGED. FACT.

Yes true although Coppola paid it back as Im sure that movie made quite a bit.

sigh

I went out with this broad once, but had to dump her eventually, because she acted in "much too broad manner."

WOW, just when you think you have achieved the goal of reaching the anus of the internet, you end up on Brooklyn Vegan. Amazing.
