golden (brown) years
As reported everywhere else already, has a new book out called Rip It Up and Start Again about post-punk ('78-'84 by his reckoning). Via Largehearted Boy, here's a nice piece he's written in The Guardian about the period. I'm looking forward to the book - I haven't read anything music-related since I was on holiday, where I raced through 's book about The Fall - I hadn't realised he'd also written that Throbbing Gristle book I didn't buy at the Punk Exhibition in New Zealand all those years ago (I'd picked up the Encyclopedia of Indie and New Wave, and didn't have room for much else).

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.
i donate to :
but there's other things worth worrying about too, like :

Got my copy of the new Reynolds book in the mail the other day. I cheated and read a few random bits, although I plan to read it properly from start to finish. Somehow I suspect I'm going to end up buying some music...
