Kook Issue 1 Issue 1 KooK All hail the bad ass - Donita Sparks Join our campaign: Bring back the hand! Who the hell is Mandy Flombay? FREE Welcome to KooK In a recent dazed moment, an idea came to me: I should write my own zine! I could write about anything I like and perhaps even meet some like-minded people as a result. Obviously it would be great if people read it, but if it happens to end up on the floor of old Barry the budgerigar’s cage, then so be it. So here it is, the very first issue of KooK! Hopefully KooK will put a smile on your dial whilst introducing you to some of the people, places and things I love. I write about extremely dull technical things by day, and this project stops me from going postal! I’m not trying to make any grand statements or tell anyone what they should think … I’m also definitely not a graphic designer, so be kind! In this first issue, you’ll meet my good mate Mandy Flombay. She reckons she’ll buy me a case of beer if I flog her book so she obviously gets a double page spread. There’s also a feature on our first ever cover girl Donita Sparks. Feel free to send fan mail to [email protected] X Ed (definitely not Mr …) The KooK office hard at work Contents Page 2 Where are they now? L7’s Donita Sparks Page 3-4 Who the hell is Mandy Flombay? Page 5-6 The Inaugural KooK Music Player Challenge Page 7 Bring back the hand! Where Are They Now? Donita Sparks In 2000, L7 announced to the world that they were taking an ‘indefinite hiatus’, much to the disappointment of their many dedicated fans around the world. For over 15 years they both thrilled and offended with their classic anthems, energetic live shows and crazy antics. From their founding of Rock For Choice, to their appearance as ‘Camel Lips’ in the John Water’s film Serial Mom, L7 were a band “Best of all, my Mum of four fine, hard rockin’ ladies that thankfully never took thought she looked themselves too seriously. like the Antichrist.” I discovered L7 at 16, which was a perfect time considering all I wanted Thankfully for freaky fans like myself, to do at that age was play guitar Donita has decided to go solo. She’s and piss off my parents. My love of recorded a new album, and with a L7 had a lot to do with the band’s new band that includes L7’s drummer co-founder, singer and flying V, Dee Plakas, has been gigging quite axe-wielding guitarist Donita Sparks. regularly around Los Angeles.

Does feeding Jamie Oliver through a pasta maker sound appealing? Do you reach for your biggest kitchen knife in frustration at the mere mention of beef cheeks? Or perhaps you’d prefer to be chugging down a can of UDL than wasting precious drinking time in the kitchen? If you answered yes to these questions, then Mandy Flombay thinks you rock! In her book, The Unknown Chef: As Not Seen on TV, Mandy shows that whipping up tasty food can be done without being a fancy pants snob. You certainly won’t find a recipe for <insert toffy yupster voice> warm salad of roasted squash, prosciutto and pecorino. However, you certainly will find that Mandy’s good at spinning a yarn and discover an interesting new way to prepare roast chicken, using a half drunk VB can up the duff. Now THAT is classy stuff. I personally can’t cook to save myself and I even managed to make something out of Mandy’s book and keep it down. In fact if you can’t find a recipe in Mandy’s book that floats your boat, you probably need a hard thwack with a wooden spoon, just like most celebrity chefs do! I managed to track down the elusive and mysterious Mandy Flombay, who found time between recovering from a cask wine hangover and snogging her latest shag Gaz (get a room … seriously), to answer these hard-hitting questions for KooK. Firstly, Mandy why do you keep your identity a secret? Do you have “I’m the UNKNOWN a disfiguring physical deformity or are you trying to rip off that Rob chef, and I’ll stay that the dentist guy? way until someone Deformity? Are you kidding? I’m one hot rock chick, but the last thing I need is to pulls some sense out be hassled by crazy people on the street of their arse and gives wanting to get a piece of me, you know. me my own TV show.” Anyway, I’m the UNKNOWN chef, and I’ll stay that way until someone pulls Do you have any hot dating tips and some sense out of their arse and gives what would you cook if you were me my own TV show. trying to get someone in the sack?

You’ve got nothing to lose, way. And there’s this dude called Luke especially not dignity - you gotta get rid of Mangan, who is pretty fancypants most dignity early on, you know, or else it’s just of the time but just kind of looks like gonna hold you back. As for what to cook, a bruiser and a bit cranky — like he’s it doesn’t really matter, as long as you do gone three rounds with a shitty it drunk, and in the nude. Although DON’T customer, you know.

I have managed to resist the overwhelming urge to buy an iPOD. This is despite everyone I know telling me how their iPOD has changed their life and how cool the random function is. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard “Oh my god, it just knows what to play”, this magazine would be in colour. Admittedly, I have witnessed spooky random play list phenomena. I once met a very talented iPOD who was frequently called upon to give tarot like readings to family and friends. This iPOD got me thinking. What if a question is asked right before the random button is hit? Could this influence the choice of songs played? Could we make math nerds arguing about the random function’s algorithm, spontaneously combust in horror with our theory? And is this a phenomenon specific to the iPOD or do other digital players display equally spooky abilities? We found two digital music player owners who declared their musical taste as “liking a bit of everything” to help put this theory to the test. To give the battle some authority, I dressed as Chairman Kaga from Iron Chef to preside over the following proceedings … Question: Should we be worried about climate change or is the world going to end in like 5 years anyway?

As the 1980s came to an end, it became obvious that punk was far from dead. In fact, it was "the" most "alive" of all rock's subgenres. The legacy of hardcore was simple: thousands of bands rehearsing in garages and performing at parties throughout the USA. Not since the Sixties had there been such a universal language in teenage music. Of the major New York punk-rock bands of the mid 1980s, Adrenalin O.D. were the only ones to truly deserve the attribute "hardcore". Their demented style was closer to California's beach-punk, as proven by the frantic Humungousfungusamongus (fall 1985 - nov 1985). Ray Cappo's Youth Of Today became the main apostles of straight-edge hardcore, preaching positive ideals to punks on sermons such as Take A Stand (1986). That genre peaked with Start Today (jan/apr 1989 - nov 1989), the album by the Gorilla Biscuits (1), featuring vocalist Anthony Civarelli and guitarist Walter Schreifels, and with Sick Of It All's Blood Sweat And No Tears (? 1988 - jul 1989).
