Veruca, have you read "England's Dreaming" by Jon Savage? It's pretty good, as well, putting punk (somewhat) in a broader cultural context. Definitely makes me wish I was a little older... and British.
Do check out Helium... Carrie from Sleater-Kinney has actually recorded with Mary Timony of Helium. Also, have you heard Heavens to Betsy? H2B was Corin's first band, comprised of just her on bass and a drummer. Very cathartic, angry and punk. Much rawer than her later S-K work, but also a bit more... urgent, perhaps? Anyway, a good foil to S-K's more melodic moments.
Still pissed about last night's game... grrrr...
