BLOG: FILTER Good Gift Guide, Day 4: Rock Over London, Rock on Chicago

’Tis the holiday season and here at FILTER we believe in giving gifts that keep on giving. So in the spirit of the holidays, we’ll be posting our Good Gift Guide ideas for your picky loved ones.

When Dave Marsh first employed the term “punk rock” in the ’70s, who knew what would come from the genre. No one could have predicted a diagnosed chronic schizophrenic from Chicago and research biochemist would fit into the same category, but maybe there’s a punk rocker you know who worships both. Bring a rare smile to their face with Wesley Willis’ Joy Rides DVD ($16.95), a documentary on underground rock and roll icon and artist, Wesley Willis (save 25 percent when you order online here). Or if they need something a little more emotive, try the Milo Aukerman of the Descendents bobblehead doll ($16.95). Standing 7 inches tall and equipped with signature nerd glasses, the mini-Milo is sure to at least provoke a smirk from even the hardcorest of hardcore. And if your brother is home from school for the holidays, make sure Milo goes back to college with him. Get it?!
