Wanna know what I've been doing?

Hi,
As fearless leader of The Parochialist, it is of course my duty to post every week in response to the atrocities that come out of Park Avenue. While the last two weeks have been slack, it is not because I have been lazy. I have been hard at work putting out the latest Davezine, which pretty much sums up the position of us here at The Parochialist. It is a satirical take on the City Paper. The story is about how a City-Paper-like alternative weekly editor is kidnapped and brainwashed to promte a mysterious group known only as the Collective...who may or may not be pawns in a greater game that could result in the destruction of Beatown.

A Parochialist cameo in the new Davezine!




More from my upcoming Davezine about the City Paper.

Dear Beatown Weekly,
I have been reading your paper for about ten years now and have always found it a lively source of insightful commentary and entertainment. However, within the last six months I have noticed a change in your coverage. It seems that all you do now is cover the latest news of the Collective. From what I can tell, you are no longer covering any other artists or musicians who are not involved in the Collective.
As a Euro-Centric Caucasian Male, I realize that my needs are no longer represented by the BW. Therefore I will be forced to not pick up your free paper, and I will not know about any of the events around town. I will sit in my studio apartment, make obscene phone calls, and wish that I was dead.---signed, The Parochialist.


Davezine #13 will be available March 31st!
