just my 2 cents:
i hear what you're saying about "dharma punx". i identified with it to some degree, mainly because noah was into a lot of the same stuff as me (harcore/punk, straight edge, etc - and buddhism, of course)...but i found myself somewhat irritated by the general approach. anyway, i actually found myself enjoying "against the stream" much more. i think it's worth checking out if you can get it used fairly cheap... although it is vipassana...and we stricly practice soto zen here 8)
if you want that style of 21st-century-bad-boy-american dharma, i reccomend reading brad warner's books (if you haven't read them all already). i get irritated with his somewhat overly "hey dude..." style at times too, but i've read all his books and enjoyed each one for the most part. he's got a new one due out really soon too:

speaking of western buddhism, if you haven't read any stephen batchelor i highly reccomend his books... they go down like water. i've only read these 3, but loved each one:
