July 11th, 2012 by chocko
On Day Two of the festival, Chocko only had time to check out some movies. Joey Teacups and Chocko went to Anthology Film Archives (32 Second Ave) and we ran into Tommy Ramone (the original Ramones drummer!) and The Ramones’ Tour Manager, Monte Melnick. They were hanging out in the lobby before their appearance for […]

DIY Arts and Crap: Vinyl Record Bowl
July 11th, 2012 by chocko
I’ve seen these bowls for sale on the streets of NYC and at craft sales. They’re made of old vinyl records and they are so easy to make…even Chocko can do it! You can too and Chocko knows you’re down to recycle that crappy album sitting in your collection. You will need a couple things […]

Iconicide presents Puke Island 2012
July 5th, 2012 by chocko
The anti-Punk Island event organized by the NY hardcore band ICONICIDE went down at Tompkins Square Park last month with many bands bringing the ruckus. Chocko thinks Punk Island is cool, it’s a free event that happens once a year on Governors Island and features punk rock music. I guess Chris from ICONICIDE feels that […]

REEWIND: PLANET CHOCKO
July 4th, 2012 by Mr. C
Just a few more scans from our Zine circa 1997. Seemed like ’97 was a hot year for us! Maybe we felt the heat from the handover of Hong Kong back to China!
