I recommend his work in the '1-up zine': www.1up-zine.com and yeah kozyndan is great.

I'm on it as "cozen", I use it to talk to my girlfriend mostly. phone me up. who are you on as, jed?

I think there's a problem of overavailability: that's one of the things that comes across very strongly in Rip It Up. How postmodernity in pop was very much about the simple availability of the past - many records we'd consider classics now were not very easy to get hold of in the post-punk...

don allred is really awesome. I was introduced to him by f. kogan (who has a book coming out soon) ("real punks don't wear black"). you should search 'allred' in the ilx archives. there are some great block-quoted, over-driven paragraphs of him there. but yeah, a music writer with style. his...
