Weekend Punk Pick: Buzzcocks
*Sigh* Yes, this is the song from Shrek 2, but please don't hold that against the Buzzcocks, whose Spiral Scratch EP was one of the first punk records ever released in England. By the time they collected Singles Going Steady, the 'Cocks had perfected the art of burying artful, beautiful pop tunes under carefully draped layers of punk noise and bile. Seth Putnam also slapped a pic of guitarist Pete Shelley on the cover of Morbid Florist. That's pretty punk, right?
