Those who have the type of musical interest indicated in the comments threads here, note that the English Department is running an International Conference on Punk in Spring 2008, with courses in Punk-Lit in support.

Dear RetroDeathPixie:

I was discussing "The Filth & Fury" after class with A.N. -- have you ever happened to see it?

Punk is still suffering from a terminal illness, though. There's only a handful of bands around anymore:

Bad Religion
Against Me!
Dropkick Murphys
D.O.A.

You can bet I'm swinging by for further discussion on Monday after my 10.30 tutorial, because I'm just a sucker for discussion on the subject. I'd have stuck around, but today was midterm exam day.
