Billy Eye and Judy Zee
|
A fabulous lore of collected articles written by Billy Eye and Judy Zee as they chronicled the bands coming up through the Los Angeles Punk and New Wave club scene from 1980-83. Billy Eye reported on the Downtown and Hollywood punk art/rock scene and Judy Zee covered the Hollywood and Westside happenings. Note: Judy Zee was one of very few female rock columnists on the scene at that time.

| The PopTarts of Pop Art
|
Nicole Steen and Vicki M. are Vancouver's self styled Pop Tarts. Painting portraits of women within a pop culture context is what these gals do best. The art is excellent; check out Nicole Steen's Smells like Female Exhibit, with portraits of Poison Ivy Rorschach, Debbie Harry, Exene Cervenka, Penelope Houston and Nina Hagen. Très, très cool. (And Canadian too!)

| Too Fast Online Punk and Rock inspired clothing
|
Too Fast is a small, independent punk rock clothing reseller based in New Jersey. Too Fast Online is not corporate like other alternative punk mall stores - this alternative and vintage-inspired clothing company does it for the love of rock-n-roll music. In their own words: "...we have been listening to punk rock for as long as we can remember and it’s the music that fuels the fashion, not the money". [That's music to my ears; definitely Rina-approved!]
