Sharpen your pencil and your inner mohawk for Aye Jay’s latest
activity book (following Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book, among
others). Sticking to the oldies, you can draw on Henry Rollins’ tattoos
and graffiti the CBGB walls, colour in The Ramones and Patti Smith, or
try your hand at Punk Libs (Dead Kennedys’ “California Uber Alles” and
the Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog”). With a forward by Steven Blush
(the writer and director of American Hardcore), this is a perfect
washroom or airplane activity book for those who can’t figure out
Sudoko. Or who want their children brought up on the classics like
Black Flag and The Cramps. –SCF
