Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk
by Legs McNeil & Gillian McCain (also rec’d by Kim Gordon & St. Vincent )
Buy on AmazonPlease Kill Me is one of the most fun books I’ve ever read. It’s basically a collection of oral histories, first-hand accounts from all the people who were around in New York as punk began. It’s the inside scoop on everything punk, with all kinds of details about who hooked up with who and the crazy shit they did. It’s not like reading a history book – it’s almost like being there, talking to all these people who were part of the birth of punk.
