Hating on Disco has some troubling roots. I know it's just a card, but here is a good podcast on it.
Naw man. Like, both the idea you thought you had to apologize made me mad. You're not holding the record in a damaging way. It's not a rare first pressing classic you might sell. I would say i am SHOCKED people descended into giving a shit and commenting on it.
I am a Dj w/ 16yr residency and as I'm old still only spin wax. a small scratch ruins a whole CD, while ash, dust, sugary drinks, grease, oil, thumbprints.... these things are durable and clean off.
VERY unpunk to suggest the punk way a person holding a record isn't delicate enough.
Admittedly I "palm" (flat sides between both inner palms) most of mine which makes it easy to flip over to the other side in your hands when you're looking for a track, but just invest in some groove glide and clean a record every 10 or 20 listens.
It's not like I make a habit, but I've 1400 records or so and I've never, ever ruined one with handling it.
However, heat is your enemy. Period.
If you haven't already read it, Please Kill Me is a really awesome read. https://www.amazon.com/Please-Kill-Me-Uncensored-History/dp/0802125360/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?adgrpid=58644037400&gclid=Cj0KCQiAz53vBRCpARIsAPPsz8VVbtoWEzXmAMBantMYGvH6L4L5GQm6f5kvN3wqwEtzTzI4IhoHtOwaAkEBEALw_wcB&hvadid=274723839062&hvdev=m&am...

If you have spotify I have the play list for you! I created an indepth Evolution of Punk play list that has over 251 bands and is in chronological order. You can listen to it and read all about it here!
I feel ya, I'm a "scientist punk" just like Greg. In theory I should love them... but yea... "bland" is a good word. I have seen them live a few times though and they definitely do a good job. I feel like their albums are generally over-compressed and a lot of Greg's lyrics come off to me as "im14thisisdeeeeeep" when I really listen to them. His book was cool though and I do find myself jamming to B.R. from time to time.
Greg's RateMyProfessor page is pretty funny if you have never seen it before.
> i never thought about that, thanks for the tip!
these are kinda expensive, they are one of the best investments you can make in your life if you are going to be going to more shows and your ears will be close to the monitors / most punk shows. When you are 40 (and most people get to that age) not having constant ringing in your ears will REALLY make your life more fun.
I have been in bands pretty much my whole life (I am 32 now). It all started in high school when 3rd wave SKA hit. I learned then how hard it is to coordinate a band with 7 members.
I took a couple years off at one point but always missed band practice, playing shows and having a group of friends that really know each other. Spend 2 week in a van with 5 other people and you will get to know them VERY well.
I did everything from rock bands to surf to a very awful progressive rock band. Beside the fun of being in a band (it's not all fun mind you) there is an opportunity for even someone introverted like myself to make a lot of new friends. I would have never met my girlfriend if it wasn't for my band.
shameless self promotion. not really a punk band but I dunno what else to call it: http://www.reverbnation.com/theomegamoo
Hebdige has some good stuff and it’s definitely related but if I were to use any academic work on punk subculture relating to authenticity it would definitely be this:
https://www.academia.edu/3728734/The_Ideology_and_Practice_of_Authenticity_in_Punk_Subculture
The Clash, though mainly known as one of the originators of the British punk movement, still operated in the 80's. Check out "Know Your Rights", "Straight to Hell", "Rock the Casbah" (seriously, it's a political song), and "Ghetto Defendant" for some examples. A lot of their politically charged songs deal with more international issues than DK or Fugazi, but nonetheless just as powerful.
As an aside, a good web site to help you with details and origins of songs is http://www.allmusic.com/. Some of the songs mentioned in this thread will have blurb about them on this site, and doing a little research you may find more songs than what is mentioned in this thread.
Never met my hero, Joey Ramone. But I did interview a few guys that I'm huge fans of.
Joe "Queer" King: Talked to him for about 30 minutes @Maxwell's in Hoboken NJ for a zine I used to make in the late 90's. He was nice, well spoken, and passionate. He was also surprisingly funny and witty with a slice of bitterness to "Warp Tour Bands".
Ben "Weasel" Foster: Met Ben a few times, but the last time was summer 2014 at the TLA in Philly. I had VIP passes and we sat in the green room with him before Screeching Weasel went on. We all just sat there chilling, talking about Ben's family, tour, flight, and watching and commenting on a Hockey playoff game like old buddies for about 20 minutes. Very fun. Joe Queer was there too. It was funny to see him and Ben interact, it was very business like.

Literally my favorite NYC punk band. Joe is a killer frontman and a sweetheart.
I was at this show and it was incredible, though the first time I saw them was probably my favorite.
New to punk eh? I have something you might enjoy. It's a spotify playlist I made called "Evolution of Punk In Chronological Order". It starts with bands that were an early influence on punk and then each band after is based off year they started. A zine wrote an article on it. You can read the article and get the playlist here.
There's one called The Portable Henry Rollins. Start there. Its a sort of anthology of work from Black Coffee Blues, Get In The Van, High Adventure in the Great Outdoors, Bang!, Solipsist, and a few more. I have the soft cover by Villard, which is super-beautifully bound too(enough to make me pick it up in Toronto before I'd ever owned a Black Flag record). If you've heard of the guy you know why you're in for, but if...IF...it hits you at the right time? It can hit like a ton of bricks...
"You can get what you want. Never sell out. Don't break. Don't weaken. Don't let the kindness of strangers be your salvation, for it is no salvation at all. Unless you sleep alone, you sleep with the enemy. Never come out of the storm. On the other hand, you should. You don't have what it takes to go the hard way. Come out of the cold and sit by the fire. Let them warm you with smiles and the promise of friendship's fortune. Lose your edge. A soft body and a chained mind suit you. Chances are you don't have what it takes to walk the frozen trail. Stay home and relax." p.284
Paul Russel, environmental artist on Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo Reach also came up with the name 'Halo' created the screeching weasel logo

Tell me about it. I'm from the same "Beach Community", they're from. Same high school n shit. Very uppity, sterile neighborhood. If you like more hardcore shit, check out the singer and bassist's old band.
Well it looks like most of the people replying didn't really give you an answer as to where you can learn more about punk as a whole. I usually watch as many documentaries on punk that I can find. There's plenty of books as well. I'll post 2 links to 2 of my favorite medias that give quite a bit of info on the second wave of UK punk, which influenced a lot of the new punk bands out there. Finding underground bands is not as difficult as you'd think. Youtube has everything now. If it's American Hardcore you're looking for, I'm sure there's stuff out there for it too. It's never really been my thing. But go ahead and check the doc I'm posting here and order the book if you'd like. I always recommend them to people starting or wanting to know more about punk as a whole. I feel like it's a pretty good start.
You can never go wrong with UK/DK
Burning Britain has a lot of information on bands from the years 1980-1984. It also has some words as to their contribution to punk and stories from the bands.
If you can get a hold of the book Destroy All Movies!!!, it tried to list all movies with punks in it. The book is out of print and hard to find now, unfortunately. Here is the link to the Amazon page for it, though : https://www.amazon.com/Destroy-Movies-Complete-Guide-Punks/dp/1606993631
If this is a serious question, then the sooner you realize it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, the better. There is also a big difference between “acting” like a rebellious “punk” and dressing the part and honesty doing whatever is authentic to you and not allowing outside opinions to change who you are or what you do.
To get around to your question, it still doesn’t matter. Being a “punk” or whatever has nothing to do with income or wealth, unless you worship it or are willing to fuck anyone over for it, then I’m pretty sure you’d be what most of the scene is against.
This is a rhetorical question, but what got you into punk? If it’s because it seems cool or whatever, don’t worry too much about it because it’s a phase and you’ll get over it sooner or later. If it’s more then that, just keep doing whatever feels authentic to you. Listen to music, get lost watching shows/docs/music videos on YouTube, talk to people, soak that shit in. There’s a really good book called Sigh, Gone by Phuc Tran that actually does a really great job of fleshing out what it means to be “punk” if you’re into books (I’m a literature and writing major and book nerd so if you check out the book you’ll see what drew me to it) and, spoiler alert, it’s all about being authentic to who you are no matter what other people say or think.
I already spent way more time on this than I wanted, so the TL;DR is fuck them and anyone else who tries to tell you what you’re about.
I have a perfect place to start. It's a spotify play list I created that is the Evolution of Punk in Chronological order. Here's an article that was written about it along with the play list. Enjoy!
I could give you the whole run down about classic punk bands and all that shit, but I'll just answer your question.
If you're looking for something that sounds like Billy Talent, try Keepin' 6 - they sound very similar but have a bit of a ska edge.
When I started to get into punk (2003) I got a really awesome compilation that I can't recommend enough. With it i learned about some of the most important classic 70's punk bands and many of the subgenres: No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion
On Spotify and expanded it as it had some issues. It seems to be liked there.
I was talking about this actually on a thread not that long ago.. some guy said he took a shot in the dark and messaged someone on discogs that had it and sold it to him for like 20 bucks
I found this list of every song that was sampled in Radio Soulwax's "Hardcore or Die". https://www.discogs.com/lists/RSWX-Hardcore-Or-Die/238807?page=1&limit=250 It saddens me cause I found it in the process of making my own list so now I don't need to, but it also gladdens me because now I have a list of punk songs to listen to. I've also been listening to Noise the Show, an NY hardcore college radio show from 1981-2.
So, so worth it. They have a split CD with The Gamma Rays, and I highly recommend it:
You can find a few copies on Ebay, as well. Or, if you're really nice and PM me, I might be able to rip a copy for you. I doubt they're making money off of the sales any more as they all seem to be secondhand, but I'll ask Nancy first.
Crabby Don's in Gilbert puts on the occasional show. Yucca is almost always free, but if they do have a cover, it's normally cheap. For example, Pulley will be there on 3/22, and that's only $5. I've never seen Tempe Tavern charge a cover, except for the Phx SkaPunk Bowling event last year.
Another band you should check out if you dig some real, hard-hitting, punk fucking rock, is my buddies in Skull Drug. They're playing with Agent Orange at Club Red in Tempe on March 1st.
Awesome
Hard Pipe Hitters
http://www.reverbnation.com/hardpipehitters/song/19545380-drink-until-we-die
Usually one of us comes to the band with a general riff, from their everyone really has an input as to what would sound good (time changes, throw in ska, down tempo ect.) then our singer usually gets a feel for the melody and runs with it. Each song usually goes through quite a few changes before we get a finished product.
I love the raw aggression of it all. Whether a band is singing something political, heartfelt, angry, or comedic I've always found Punk to be a great medium for expression. There is nothing more enjoyable to than going to a show and seeing a band that really loves what they're doing .
Sometimes. Honestly its about %25 of our catalog, we deal with religion, food, and generally talking about things that have affected us directly. For every song we have about authoritarianism we have one about food we like or partying.
I would say people tend to write of Punk as being some sort of avenue where musicians know nothing about their instrument and are doing it just to be cool. The reason I fell in love with Punk is in spite of the fact that someone can be a virtuoso at their said instrument it all becomes irrelevant when you're playing from the heart. I find many people immediately disregard your musical endeavours if you tell them you're a punk band because they think somehow you're incapable of writing a good song.
I joined the current incarnation of this band through playing with everyone throughout all the years in highschool. To this day of the 10 bands we played with in highschool are still making music in other avenues just by finding the right combination of members. Its pretty cool to see.
We started putting on shows in any backyard that would have us and playing with any band that would give us a shot.
Hope that helps!
With punk it is more about networking with local bands than anything. I recommend going to Reverb Nation or a similar site and finding a couple local bands you like.
Reach out to them, add them on their social networking site if you use that sort of thing. When they announce a show, go to it, bring a friend. Try and talk with the bands you like, see if they have a website and grow your list of local bands from there.
If you are looking for shows by the big name bands, just check their tour pages from time to time.
I replied to someone else with this:

Bahaha it's all okay :)
Punk rock is still alive and kickin' here, we've got several local hardcore punk bands and Seattle has even more! Not to whore them out, but this one of the bands in my hometown's scene. they're good friends of mine.
You might enjoy them :) Punk rock girl reddit party of two! :P
Hey! So this is the only tool you need to start out: http://famitracker.com. It’s a free download. There’s other versions of it but this is the one I use. Tons of tutorials online as well. Always happy to answer questions too.
Here's a cool interactive genre map for anyone interested in that kind of thing. You can click on the genres and hear examples as well.
Horror punk is pretty fun, though it is just as accurate to say "Misfits and Misfit clones" when I use term. I'm a big fan of grindcore too, it scratches a pretty specific itch. I've been moving away from looking at music as genres in general though. It can be useful for conversations on forums but I've seen it become dogmatic far too often.
Hey there! You should give Hydrogen a try. It's a free and open source drum machine. I don't have the time right now to take on another project, but this is what I use in my own recording projects.
We got you! Most of us will be doing our Mixclouds still. I may even snipe shows for Mixcloud, since rolyalties are still paid. I'll have to check the legalities.
Edit: Just did one.
Craven's Victory! https://www.mixcloud.com/gringobill/cravens-victory/
Haha thank rateyourmusic for that. I just use their top rated releases for each genre.
~~Discogs doesn't even list those two releases. Do you know the names of anything else they've put out? If you do, you're best bet is Soulseek.~~
EDIT: This was a response to a totally different thread, haha.
To respond to this thread, I know they did a few "covers" and borrowed riffs like that Unbelievable song on Morbid Florist and Everyone Should Be Killed and I think they also did some similar shit on Top 40 Hits. I don't specifically recall the cover OP mentioned but if I had to guess it's on one of those 3 albums. Everything after that I think is just the recycled hardcore riff with gay jokes/over-the-top offensive shit. Been a while since I listened to anything other than Morbid Florist though so I could be wrong.
I would check out Camel boots, they have a very similar look to Doc Martens but only cost ~$40-$50. Here’s the link to the amazon page, but you can also check their actual website if they don’t have your size. I have bought a pair and they are pretty nice quality leather boots.
>teengenerate, oblivions, early guitar wolf, Rip Off Records, folks whose touchstones were Electric Eels and Cramps
Great fucking tunes there. May I also add supercharger, The mummies, the shemps, and agent orange.
Long live the gunk. Check out Eric's Davidsons book, We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut 1988-2001
Swaddling is a big one- I could not recommend these more:
Great band!!! I put a book together about the band: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Colour-Beyond-Cult-Personality/dp/1494869616/ref=sr\_1\_1?keywords=Living+Colour%3A+Beyond+the+Cult+of+Personality&qid=1669848374&sr=8-1
This book is pretty good - lots of first person sources.
The Ramones, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols were all on major labels. Most people credit the early 80s LA scene with pioneering a DIY approach to punk. They weren't getting the major label attention or media attention that bands in NYC got. Check out this book: https://www.amazon.com/Get-Van-Road-Black-Flag/dp/1880985764
I cannot +1 this comment enough. You did NOTHING wrong by not reacting in the situation. In fact, I'd argue that if direct response was going to be a safe and effective option, you would have done it. There's a self defense studio in Covington called Thrive Empowerment Center where I learned about a book called The Gift of Fear: And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence. I'm not saying or implying that you were afraid in this situation, but that sometimes our lizard brains know how to prioritize and it's OK to just let things happen without judgment.
I also reiterate Mako's "we are here if you need us." If you see a 40+ dude in the back of a venue leaning against the wall, nodding along with the music, that's us. We're old punks but we can still throw hands and the dadcore in us means protecting others. Please ask us for help; we'd be honored to.
Of course, I forgot to mention, i started by buying a "drum mic kit" + two cheap overheads. Saves you a ton of money for a full mic setup. I got something like these
PYLE-PRO Pyle 7-Piece Wired Dynamic Kit-Kick Bass, Tom/Snare & Cymbals Microphone Set-for Drums, Vocal, & Other Instrument-Complete with Thread Clip, Inserts, Mics Holder & Case-PDKM7 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FW0IHA/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_BW5959MMPWAQTDFHXHD1
Behringer C-2 2 Matched Studio Condenser Microphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CZ0RLU/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_0BPGQ0W54BKT8H5B6Z31
https://www.amazon.com/CP54047-Progressive-Rhythm-Guitar-Book/dp/0959540474
This is the book series I mentioned. Cheesy, but very well paced for progress/motivation.
Good decision man. I'm working on 5 years booze free myself. Two books that really helped me out I linked below. The first one really helps to understand that there is more to life beyond alcohol and a path forward for leaving it behind. The William Porter book is a sort of scientific explanation on what booze does to the brain and body. It's a real eye opener.
This Naked Mind- By Annie Grace
Alcohol Explained - By William Porter
The best thing is, punk shows are way more memorable and inspirational now. I have seen hundreds of bands in the last 25 years and probably can only remember half of them, which sucks, but at least moving forward, I'll remember and thoroughly enjoy all of the shows I attend. :)
Best of luck to you!

This reminded me of a really good book I read called Burning Down the Haus about punk in East Germany in the 80s. Highly recommended.
The Darby Crash book is great, especially if you have any connection to LA. And even if you don’t, it paints a very enthralling and detailed picture of punk in that era.
Lexicon Devil: The Fast Times and Short Life of Darby Crash and the Germs https://www.amazon.com/dp/0922915709/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_463T3Z69WWZC9M113VYN
I bought my own microphone 🎤 (shure sm58) and then I bought some of those foam pads, windscreens, that go over it. They have them in studios and stuff sometimes, I think they’re for spit protectors but I got them for my teeth at live shows. They have em in all different colors I got blue ones. For example something like this is what I mean: https://www.amazon.com/NUOLUX-Windscreen-Microphone-Windscreens-Covers-10/dp/B019Q6I6FO
As far as buying/downloading them I can't help you but this site has a list of punk bootlegs including stuff by both those bands. Maybe having the name of a bootleg might help you find it on another site. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/ornomar/punk__post_punk__indie_and_new_wave_vinyl_bootlegs_guide/1/
i'm so surprised nobody has mentioned this one yet. one book to rule them all: https://www.amazon.com/Punk-Stephen-Colegrave/dp/184403268X - you can find it on ebay for about 20 quid
i get that. you don't have to spend a lot. i've been using these for a while. $15, huge improvement.
Lexicon Devil: The Fast Times and Short Life of Darby Crash and the Germs is a great read as well. told through interviews, lots of interesting stuff about the whole southern california scene.
Haven't heard anything about a video of just that show, but there's a documentary being made that looks like it will have footage from it.

He also played with Junkyard though that's not very punk rock
He also jammed with Carlos Santana during a show when he was a little kid called on to the stage.
From Allmusic.com:
>Working throughout with Thom Wilson on this eight-song effort War on 45, D.O.A. turned in a tightly wound, perfect blast of punk angst and anger. Wilson's usual economy and focused studio work matched with the quick, snarling anthems of defiance right on down the line. Songs like "Liar for Hire" and "American the Beautiful" smoke with the usual D.O.A. level of energy, with Wilson making it all even more tough, jumping right out of the speakers. Besides the band's originals, a variety of covers are essayed, with rather differing results. The Dils' own noted rip into the system "Class War" gets a perfectly understandable cover here, while Edwin Starr's soul classic "War" is treated in ways that Bruce Springsteen wishes he could pull off. As for the great "Let's Dance," originally by Chris Montez and later revamped by the Ramones, the fact it's retitled "Let's Fuck" tends to say it all. LA punk cartoonist Shawn Kerri tops it all off with a hilarious cover.
You are on the right track. I actually just finish a writing my auto biography and how rock, specially heavy metal and punk rock saved my life. My story actually started with ramones and the book is called Punkaste therefore keep digging.... Pennywise, bad religion... you are in the right path! #Punkaste

Rational Thought Neglect (R.T.N): http://www.reverbnation.com/rationalthoughtneglect
local hardcore/crossover thrash band from Austin TX. Although they are on hiatus, and haven't updated their recordings or played shows in a while, they were still a fun band. Similar to D.R.I or Municipal Waste
I've heard people say that the new lineup isn't very good, but based on last night I have to disagree. I've seen Misfits twice before during the Graves era and out of all three shows, last night was my favorite. Jerry's vocals sounded pretty good to me.
I actually liked it a lot. Some of it is more slowed down and other tracks is pretty in your face and fierce. It's a good blend.
Graves was a good vocalist, but he was also a fuck up. I met him once while he was in Misfits and at another show during his solo career and both times he was obviously on something. Crack? Meth? I don't know. Something. It was surreal.

Back when it was just Sirius; they used to allow a free trial for I believe 30 days. The amount of channels they gave you access to was limited (No Howard Stern, No NFL/NBA, etc etc), but I'm pretty sure most of the music channels were available. I think Tim's show is on Faction?
https://www.siriusxm.com/freetrial
I got a lifetime subscription way back when Howard Stern joined, and it was just Sirius, so I'm not sure what has changed since then, but you used to be able to stream it online assuming you had an account. Sign up for a free trial, and see if the channel is available.

The singer Colin in the Vitamins and Adam in Bombs wrote the majority of the lyrics and the Band as a whole would write the music. 4.I personally like the energy and community. When I was younger everything about it was exciting. I also got to meet so many people from across the City, Province, Country and other countries that I would have never met otherwise. All because we were into the same type of music.
- Ya, they were both really political bands. At the time we started our Premier in Ontario was Mike Harris. He was your hack and slash conservative politician and even as naive teenagers we saw what he was doing was wrong. Looking back, we had a hell of a lot of material to write about. The gulf war and the Bush government, rampant consumerism, the public's infatuation with celebrity and empathy. The list goes on and on.
- Meh, not so much anymore. I think Punk has been commodified. Your Warped Tours and Hot Topics have taken a lot of the "edge" from Punk. Its no longer much of a statement anymore. However, musically I think people tend to narrowly define it into Green Day or Offspring or some of the more popular bands. When its actually very, very diverse, with many sub geners and sub-sub genres that make it a fascinating style of music to enjoy.
You should check out Every Noise at Once. If you go into a genre and click "Edge" it will give you a Spotify playlist of lesser-known music for any genre.
Also the website overall is baller for finding new music.
Another Swami playlist worth mentioning, the Swami Sound System on Slacker radio. John's own playlist. Used to be a local radio show but now lives on.
I took it straight from the SourceForge website. It's definitely a bare bones website, but I've used this program for years and I don't believe there to be anything nefarious bundled in.
I just listed to a ska/punk radio show on my mixcloud app there are 3 related shows by Craven, Gringo Bill, & Masshole- all are good.
Lots.
Jazz, folk, blues, indie rock, post-rock, downtempo, classical, dream pop, ambient, Americana, hip hop, noise rock, electronic.
If anyone uses Rate Your Music to catalog your music collection, you can check your profile stats page, under the "Ownership by Genre" section.
This is kind of a retarded question, but I think the ONE album everyone ever listening to punk must know is the Damned's Machine Gun Etiquette. For me it is the epitome punk. Though it wouldn't be the first on my ""top 10"".
But seriously use Google. It's not hard to find the 'mainstream' accepted essential punk rock albums. The r/punk posts with an orgy of upvotes indicate bands that are good and well known.
Edit because I'm so generous: http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/punk-d204 All music is a rabbit hole, good luck.
Sorry, I have to make just one more reply. Clearly you have NO idea who Erickson is and didn't bother to become educated about who you're talking about even when I provided a link.
READ THIS SHIT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP : http://www.allmusic.com/artist/roky-erickson-p4199/biography We are not talking about fucking Lynyrd Skynyrd like you seem to think.
End of Story as well.
edit: also just noticed one of his classifications in AllMusic is "proto-punk".
Not sure if this helps but pi-hole is a way to block ads on your entire home network. You install the software on a raspberry pi and set your router to use it as your dns service. We get no ads on any of our computers or phones at my place.

In the future, just google "(band name) blogspot." You can find...just about anything. If that doesn't work, try Slsk. If that doesn't work, it's probably not out there.
I've thought about going to a show to say howdy, I should really get off my sedentary ass and do it sometime.
>what bands did you play in?
Here's a pretty extensive bio. It's under the "band history" header. Not a commercial plug, since only my recent, solo stuff is there and it's all free.
I can't help with the music side, but in general discussing what I like about a Punk music tends to fall into the realm of critical analysis. Writing more insightfully on the topic of what makes an album or the lyrics of a song work for you could benefit from reading about critical analysis some. A couple short, reasonably cheap and quality text books on the subject:
Rhetoric in popular culture - Barry Brummett
Rhetoric in Popular Culture https://www.amazon.com/dp/1412975689/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_MWHBRTGMFJNF4P20W0RF
Texts and contexts - Steven Lynn
Texts and Contexts: Writing About Literature with Critical Theory (5th Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006XE6WIQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_CAWA3WHMWNJEXKSZ4990
These are both older editions but available cheaper then the current 5th for Brummett or 7th for Lynn.
This kit will do a lot for 65. 500 1" and 200 2.25"
Sell em for $2 for normies and $1 for punks.
Throw all your profits into more blanks for the first set. Sign the backs. Put a 1sr edition 2nd print on em. Get a craze going. Especially with people just getting back out. Youre on it man.

Plastic bags are really bad but drinking straws are the real plague of the future. In just the USA alone ~500 MILLION straws are used EVERYDAY or 180 BILLION ANUALLY! If you want motivation to stop, search YouTube for the video of the guy removing one from the nostril of a leatherback turtle. It's horrific!
Just say no to straws! All plastics for that matter! There's a fantastic documentary called The story of plastic that should be required viewing for every living being...
Read this a number of years ago and really liked it and thought you might too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005IH7EZY/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 (Author, Pauline Black, grew up with Jewish and Nigerian parents in England, was the singer in The Selector.)
Also, if you haven't seen the London Rock 'n Roll show from 1972 you should: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvqjGALOOLQ (Gets to the heart of the racism present in the proto-punk movement in England)(Also has some incredible footage including a very early shot of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McClaren selling "punk"/mod/teddy-boygirl clothing)(There are some wild inteviews in there as well.)
I also do this! Started with Subversive Cross Stitch and then branched out into some of my own designs. I love framing them and giving them as gifts.
