What Kerouac was to the Beat Generation, Aaron Cometbus is to the East Bay punk scene. Here is his well-loved zine. In this "Pleasureland" by Samara Halperin; interview with Eric Zo; "One for Cloudy" by John Cotrona; "Running with the Ball" by Paula Mayberry; more.
Aaron Elliott, better known as Aaron Cometbus, is a drummer, lyricist, self-described "punk anthropologist" and author of Cometbus, a seminal punk rock zine.
I don’t always like the contributor issues as much as the ones fully written by Aaron, but this time around the sort of Cometbus-as-curator thing brought a different kind of pleasure. Mixed bag but breezy.
