| READJunk is a massive online juggernaut of independent entertainment, developed by Bryan Kremkau of SkaPunkAndOtherJunk.com and Adam Coozer of READ Magazine and Readmag.com. Our mission is to inject humor into the boring, self-important world of sycophant band interviews and advertisement-worshipping CD reviews. In a sense, we aim to bring the scene down a few notches. READJunk is also a safe haven for everyone and anyone persecuted for their beliefs in the One True Goldblum. |

| FAQ |
|
Who are READ Magazine and SkaPunkAndOtherJunk.com?
READ Magazine was a print zine created in one form or another by Adam in 1996. It gained notoriety for its irreverence and irregularity. Its online archive, Readmag.com, grew in popularity more for its hopping forum and daily news blog, two main pieces that have been contributed to READJunk.
SkaPunkAndOtherJunk (SPAOJ) was founded in 1997 by Bryan as a huge resource for all things punk, hardcore, and ska, and also provided coverage of entertainment news of interest to punks. Like READ, SPAOJ’s emphasis was on biting the hand that feeds them with countless interviews insulting the interviewed bands, articles mocking the scene, and fake movie reviews to bait other fanboys. This huge archive of interviews and reviews has been brought to READJunk, and will continue to be an ongoing powerhouse infusion of awesomeness.
Where did Bryan and Adam first meet?
Bible camp.
Why the merger?
Would you ask why chocolate decided to merge with peanut butter? Cuz you’d be a freak if you did. Who the hell doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter??
Adam is an alcoholic with massive mood swings; Bryan is straightedge and overly sensitive. How does that affect your working relationship?
There is a lot of laughing and crying. But, as in life, most things are resolved through the awesome power of the unexpected hug.
Why do you insult bands?
It’s okay – they don’t have feelings like we normal people.
Your review of X-Men 2 totally sucks!!
Gasp!
Do you have any job or internship opportunities?
Only if you’re a hot girl with few inhibitions. And will give us money.
I’m an awesome writer/poet/illustrator/painter/photographer. Can I contribute to your site?
No. And don’t send us attachments – they will be deleted.
How do I send you something to review?
We will review anything sent to us. You must send one copy to each of the following addresses:
Adam c/o
ReadJunk.com
PO Box 3437
Astoria, NY 11103
Bryan Kremkau
407 Regency Ct
Middletown, NY 10940
Can I send you an mp3 or link to my Myspace account?
No.
I’m a publicist/label/band and you gave my client/band/latest album a negative review! I’ll never service you again!
You mean we are no longer allowed to give you free publicity? However will we survive?
On your site, you guys seem like total dicks. Are you cool in real life?
Bryan volunteers in the local soup kitchen; Adam visits sick children and keeps old folks company. Nah, just kidding. We’re dicks.
How do I send you hate mail?
First, be sure to misspell common words and ignore all proper rules of syntax. Then, using what small brain occupies your thick skull, somehow manage to articulate your rage into an email. Hit “Send” and then wait fruitlessly for days for a reply that you’ll never receive.
I see through your dickdom and recognize your mean-spiritedness to be the lonely cry of an insecure child. Won’t you let go and find peace?
*sob* My daddy… he never took me to the zoo…. |
