Radio Silence
Nathan Nedorostek and Anthony Pappalardo are geared up to party and show off. The two spent the last 30 years collecting documentation of the visual history of the American Hardcore Music scene, edited it into 2,000 pages with 8 billion images of zines, tshirts, record covers, and moshpitals, and named it Radio Silence. There’s actually way too much to cover in a small entry such as the kind of blog post we deliver here, but this is a pretty intense collection of things, and there’s some great words to read, as well (including a wonderful entry by Mr. Mark Owens).
You have no choice but to get this book, and I’m debating whether or not I’ll let you sit out these two events:

my only gripe about this book is that it’s not 10 times thicker. much applause, guys. volume 2?
Is that the Skateboarder Anthony Pappalardo?
No, its not the same Anthony Pappalardo, this one’s originally from Boston and a musician.
