Crate Digger is an excellent, fun and engaging read. It is the story of Burrito Records’ Bob Suren’s life of collecting punk records, playing music, running a record store/label, and succeeding and failing. This book narrates his life, highlighting notable titles like The Dictators’ Go Girl Crazy!, Gay Cowboys in Bondage’s Owen Marshmallow Strikes Again, Raw Power’s Screams from the Gutter and The Stalin’s Go Go Stalin, and then using them as a way to relate the records’ significance to parts of his life. While this certainly is an amusing way of relating a memoir, it is no less honest or sincere.
