BEST GIRL PUNK

Corey Parks is as big as they come for girl punk guitarists. Sorry, Courtney, but at six-foot-three, Ms. Parks could back your ass out of the key.

Here are a few of her favorite things:

Best Record Store: Vinyl Solution, 18822 Beach Blvd., Huntington Beach, (714) 963-1819.

Best Coffee Shop: Cafe Ruba, 1749 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa, (949) 642-4026. (Banana bombs kick ass!)

Best Band: DIE HUNNS

Best NBA Punk Rocker: Cherokee Parks

Best Tattoo Artist: Bucky Crispin, Good Time Charlie's Tattooland, 2641 Lincoln Ave., Anaheim, (714) 827-2071.
