Audiobook is phenomenalBy WorldclassfadGet the audiobook....6 CD's read by the contributors (Mike Watt and Chris D. have exceptional entries). Took it on a road trip and listened to all 6 hours without stopping. Mesmerizing. If you have even the most passing interest in LA punk; this is a must have. The interconnectedness of such greatness is mind blowing.
