definetely worth a read.

the only thing about it I didn't like was how the writer keeps slating punk music (which I also love - I usualy walk around in Buzzcocks t-shirts)

so I took some breaks from reading every now and then just to calm down!

but I'm glad I read it :)

that´s a shame, i´ve always been a punk-rocker at heart.
