Today's Webtip: The Art of Punk

MOCAtv takes a look at the art behind the bands.

Does anyone still collect flyers for shows?

I spent years grabbing everyone I could find, even before I was legally allowed in to the shows being advertised. I still have stacks of tattered A4 Xeroxes of my favorite bands and flyer artists. It was one of the things I actually missed as my musical tastes expanded beyond hardcore and punk. The slick 4 color prints of the 90's might have had some exciting design and high production values but they rarely caught my attention the way some of those cheap 80's sheets.

Now the images that got me grounded have made it to the big time, with a series of documentaries hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art. They are a treasure trove of behind the scenes stories.
