The very talented Exene Cervenka, probably best known as the singer for the legendary punk band X, is relocating, which is great news for collectors, as she will be unloading (at least part of) her personal stash of pop culture relics, kitsch, and the like in a big Southern California sale. The sale is four days long and also includes pieces of her own artwork and punk rock and roll memorabilia.
On the sale’s site, she’s quoted as saying, “Calling all Betty Crocker Punk Rockers!!! 100 years of Americana needs good home. Treasured memories of the past can live on in your hands! Like a small inheritance, but without the squabbling with siblings!”

Vintage movie posters (Roller Boogie!):
Books!
More books, including pulp!
Musical instruments, including a pink guitar:
