just another quick note to keep you all updated:

- ep ordering info: same, except for that there will now also be copies
available for sale at chunk shows in the US (the "scouring the south" tour)
BUT - here's the new revelation:
either in stores in australia and/or at the AU chunk shows, they will be
selling the chunk/GbV CD EP (from when chunk was to have toured w/Gbv) - 3
new songs from each band!
here's the difference:
AU EP: 3 new chunk songs, 3 new GbV tunes
US (the "laughter guns" ep): the same 3 chunk songs as on the AU ep, plus 1
other chunk song (a cover tune of a band called "ruin") + 2 chapel hill,
n.c., disc jockeys dissecting "hyper enough" on the air... - drawback: no GbV

so, australians: you make the choice!  if you want the US version, merge
still doesn't take credit cards, but they are making arrangements to.
 additional (outside-of-US) shipping and handling is $2 per item.  and checks
and money orders have to be in US funds, for now anyway...
(which reminds me, the AU tour dates are still the same...)

in other CHUNK news:
Grit (www.grit.com) is a new search engine (very new and very small right
now) which also happens to do live on-line reviews of sites.  THE POINT
BEING: there's going to be an interview with Matt, the lord and master of the
Here With Superchunk website, and Jack McCook (the guy who does the Merge
pages) next monday (the 21st). 
to listen, go to www.grit.com and click on the icon for "listen to audio
shows", and then choose "get sound" for either RealAudio or Steamworks. They
have links to both clients on the same page if you don't have them. 
That's it. The show will air live at 11:15AM EDT on Monday, October 21; it
runs for 30 minutes, and then will be repeated every 5 hours for a week. I
think it may then be archived, but I'll have to check and see. People can
email in (see the grit site for info on this) questions that will be read on
line.  It should be fun...
So: listen in and send comments/questions, especially to Jack.  PLus, it'll
be good
press for the band if people listen.

okay, that's all, but this was supposed to be quick....  if you have any
chunk news, questions, or chunk issues (as it were) for the list or for me,
please don't hesitate to send them to me (it would be nice to see a little
more list participation...things have been a little slow as of late.)  also,
if you want anything clarified, let me know...
see you all soon - dave
