We Owe You Nothing: Punk Planet, The Collected Interviews book

REVIEWED BY John Baccigaluppi

ISSUE NO. 22 • March 16, 2001

Besides the interview with Steve Albini, this book has almost nothing to do with creative music recording. But it has everything to do with the best aspects of the independent DIY ethos that drives contemporary, project based recording studios. In my opinion, Punk Planet is one of the best magazines currently being published. If you haven't seen it yet, this book is your chance to catch up. Much more than punk or music, this book (on Girls Against Boys bassist Johnny Temple's imprint) collects interviews with musicians like Ian MacKaye, Black Flag, Kathleen Hanna, Sleater-Kinney, Thurston Moore, Jello Biafra, Negativland, Chumbawamba, and lots more. Highly recommended. (www.akashicbooks.com)
