Sid And Nancy: Love Kills
"In the late 70's, when I was living in Los Angeles, there was a strange double murder/suicide in New York. Sid Vicious, a pop singer, was arrested for the murder of his fiancée, Nancy Spungen. He committed suicide before he could be brought to trial. They were both junkies and their lives were pretty bleak. But why take things to such extremes? I don't know. Never mind the bollocks. Watch the film."
-Alex Cox (Director of Sid and Nancy)
I was delighted to find that the library owns the soundtrack to the 1986 cult classic Sid and Nancy. An alluring and tragic look at the initial meeting, relationship and ultimate deaths of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and his other half Nancy Spungen.

Commando:The Autobiography Of Johnny Ramone
What can you say about The Ramones that has not already been said? That they forever changed music history by intercepting rock music and injecting it with a heavy dose of adrenaline and attitude. Famous for being contemporaries and friends with fellow new wave bands Blondie, The Talking Heads, The Clash, The B-52'S, Patti Smith, and The Sex Pistols. Well the library now owns Commando:The Autobiography Of Johnny Ramone. Read on and I will give a brief description of the book.
