Sid and Nancy probably isn't obscure enough, but does s/he have a copy of The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle?
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yo, Trudy, what's your spending range?
Sorry, Corwood. My post looks kind of puffed up and asshole-ish on review. I'm just crossing my fingers like everybody else.
Not at all! I didn't take any of this out of your post. I'm just trying to keep my hopes realistic. With my relative lack of credentials, all I have to offer is my narrative idea and, of course, my personality and charm. Neither of which really come through in my pitch, now that I re-read it (and this assumes that they don't just exist in my head). Oh well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Um... if something is awesome I have siblings who will go in on it with me so short of putting her up for a week at the Chelsea I don't really have one.

Trudy - can you do a quick scan of their CD collection to see what they've got? I would recommend a P.i.L (Johnny Rotten/Lydon's post-Pistols, L.A.-based band) album. My favorites are Second Edition, Happy? and 9.
But if they are a super huge Johnny Rotten fan, they already have all of those probably.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What about the farewell drugs?!?
(sorry)
I once read an interesting book on the Sex Pistols. I forget what it was called, but it was a popular book back in the '90s.

She may not! I shall have someone snoop.
I wonder what Amazon's returns policy is...

Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk is also good, and covers "punk" from the Velvet Underground through the Sex Pistols (thus putting the Pistols into a broader context). But maybe it focuses too much on the self-destructive punk folks....

Heh.
Yeah, I don't want to send the kid cliff-diving. I don't need sanitized pseud-punk, but on the less terrifying end of the spectrum is probably a good call.
