Obscure But Rewarding

Mal Thursday presents a brief overview of his misadventures as an indie label anti-mogul. The true (if heavily redacted) story of the obscure but rewarding independent record labels Chunk (1986-2001) and Chunk Archives (2010-Present). An epic playlist from two great labels. Presented on Ultrasonic Stereophonic Sound. Originally broadcast 2 April 2020. For more, go to chunkarchives.bandcamp.com
