From The Desk Of Thalia Zedek: “10,000 Snacks”

The quiet, introspective Eve shows off the Thalia Zedek Band’s impressive musical range. Zedek made her name playing her singular brand of ear-splitting, dissonant lead guitar with Come, Uzi and Live Skull, outfits known for their fierce approach to performing and recording. Her music with the Thalia Zedek Band may not be as loud, but it has the same level of emotional intensity that’s always been her trademark. Zedek will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on her.

Snacks

Zedek: I first saw this book when it was being waved around and quoted from by John Manson, the lead singer of the Boston-based band Gondoliers during a rather long break between songs in their “Lounge Set” at the Somerville Armory coffee house. I was very intrigued and asked him about it after their set. He said that he had found it on his job as an estate sale rummager but that he was planning to throw it back in the trash. Thankfully, my partner intervened and brought it home, and it has become a household favorite. With chapter like “But Me No Butters,” “Bings, Bangs, Smacks And Crax,” “1002 Sandwiches” and “Cackleberries,” there are plenty of recipes interspersed among Cora, Rose and Bob Brown’s pithy stories of their international travels. At 591 pages long, it’s a veritable encyclopedia! We keep it in our bathroom.
