...really maturing as a party," he says over a portobello-mushroom sandwich. "That means everything from getting bigger to knowing when to wear a suit." Indeed, the fringe party has abandoned its own fringe. Nader is running virtually unopposed. His Green opponents--Jello Biafra, formerly of the punk band Dead Kennedys, and Stephen Gaskin, a pro-marijuana activist--have minuscule support...

Her interests meshed with the girl-punk sensibilities of Kathleen Hanna, former singer of Bikini Kill, and the 'zine writer Johanna Fateman, with whom she formed the rock group Le Tigre last year.

...opening cut of Sleater-Kinney's new album All Hands on the Bad One, Corin Tucker shrieks "I gotta rock." So the grrl does what she's gotta do. On their last album, The Hot Rock, the critically-adored all-female trio dropped punk producer John Goodmanson for soundweaving Roger Mountenot and crafted fine-textured rock. Now Goodmanson is back at the desk as the Olympians (as in Olympia, Wash.) swagger back to the looser punk/surf/power pop sound of their earlier albums Call the Doctor...
