We Owe You Nothing Book: Punk Planet: The Collected Interviews 346 pages, 6x9", paperback (20 oz) $16.95

A new, expanded edition compiling new riveting and provocative interviews from Punk Planet magazine. Never lapsing into hapless nostalgia, these conversations with figures as diverse as Jello Biafra, Kathleen Hanna, Henry Rollins, Sleater-Kinney, G-7 Welcoming Committee, Bob Mould, Excene, and many more provide a unique perspective into American punk rock and all that it has inspired (and confounded). Not limited to conversations with musicians, the book covers political organizers, punk entrepreneurs, designers, film-makers, writers, illustrators, and artists of many different media. Punk Planet has consistently explored the crossover of punk with activism, and reflects the currents of the underground while simultaneously challenging today's popular American culture. Punk Planet was a driving force in music and politics from 1994-2007.

 
It is passing strange that one of the main themes that run through nearly all of these interview is the idea that punk is over. I don't know how many times in this book I read something along the lines of "Yeah, punk was great, saved my life, but now, thanks to (fill in the blank), it sucks." Left me wondering why something called "Punk Planet" has such a negative view of punk. mishap
