...regarding THE PUNK ROCK BOOK OF LISTS by Amy Wallace & Dick Manitoba (Amy, as most of you know, is my girlfriend).

There is a HUGE Punk/Horror crossover.

In other words, we have a lot of Horror Guys are who are also Punk Guys...among those CONFIRMED for the book:

John Skipp (Splatterpunk Legend)

Richard Stanley (director of HARDWARE)

Jorg Buttgereit (director of NEKROMANTIK)

Cody Goodfellow (RADIANT DAWN and RAVENOUS DUSK)

Mick Farren (GIVE THE ANARCHIST A CIGARETTE and many Horror novels)

I think this is going to be very, very cool We're after all kinds of other people: Nothing from Stephen King (huuuuuuuge Ramones fan) yet. Alex Cox (director of REPO MAN and SID & NANCY said no, but in the nicest way). Trying to get to John Shirley. Blah-blah-blah (if I may be so Punk!)

Gabba-Gabba-Hey!

Which era of punk are you referring to? 70's and '80s?

The '90s could get you some interesting things, like The Dwarves or Unsane. GWAR! for crying out loud! (Can you be any more punk and horror at the same time?) Though, that's about it for off the top of my head. Punk Rock, in the 1990s, from what I remember was largely Fugazi styled politics as well as Anarchist book clubs, Food Not Bombs, the beginning of Critical Mass protest bike rides, and a whole bunch of straight edgers deciding that they needed to actually spend some time with beer and dope, to see what they're missing out on (That was usually 1997 or later).

Still, look forward to the book, no matter what Punk Era it's covering.
