Punk Globe, is a punk fanzine and online magazine started by Ginger Coyote in July 1977. It was originally distributed on photocopied pages folded together. After its first anniversary, Chris Coyle, manager for SVT, a San Francisco–based punk band, suggested a newsprint format. Ginger Coyote wrote on the website:
We found Grant Printing—a company owned by the influential Fang Family, publishers of Asian Week and the San Francisco Independent Community newspapers (and for a while, the San Francisco Examiner)—for the following 7 years. For our last 2 years, the magazine upgraded to heavier stock white paper printed at SF Litho.
It was published as a fanzine until 1989, when Ginger Coyote started a band called White Trash Debutantes. The content of Punk Globe included a calendar of events, gossip, interviews, record reviews, photos, artwork, the Punk Of the Month Award and the humorous advice column, "Ask Sonny Bono". According to its publisher, "The magazine was lighthearted and a lot of fun... It became a hit, and in the last few years, 25,000 copies were being printed." The online version of Punk Globe surfaced in 2005, and contains some of the old content: articles, ads, artwork, photos and letters from past issues, as well as new artwork and photographs, gossip, news, interviews, CD, DVD, film and book reviews. Recent additions include an Internet forum, Facebook page, and Twitter account. According to Ginger Coyote, the website gets approximately 8,000 hits per day.

Plastic Surgery Disasters is the second full-length album released by punk rock band Dead Kennedys. Recorded in San Francisco during June 1982, it was produced by the band and punk record producer Thom Wilson, with Geza X getting a "special thanks" underneath the DK's/Wilson credit for additional production. The album is darker and more hardcore-influenced than their debut album Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables as a result of the band trying to expand on the sound and mood they had achieved with their 1980 single "Holiday in Cambodia". It was the first full-length album to feature drummer D.H. Peligro, and is frontman Jello Biafra's favorite Dead Kennedys album.
