Ah, yes. I'd forgotten I'd written that. I stand by every word ;) I actually took a Stanley knife to the book, so that my copy is just pages 229-384 (plus the index). The rest did go in the bin.

It was a vent more than a serious proposal. Yes, Johnson belongs in jail. But obviously it is never going to happen.

I'm certainly a Reynolds fan (though not an uncritical one). The canon probably starts with Energy Flash, which is the book on dance culture - in my opinion anyway. Similarly, Rip It Up for post punk – to which Totally Wired (interviews) is definitely worth adding. I liked Retromania too...

China Miéville - October: The Story of the Russian Revolution. Which includes a glossary of key figures, saying who they were – and so many end with "executed under Stalin".

the Wagenbach Defence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_Gambit because I managed to insert my mate's silly-looking defence onto it :)

your analysis is sound except on one crucial point: American Pie is not worse than Imagine

should have been at the top of the thread absolutely the worst song ever written no contest the ultimate in vacuous platitudes of the ultra-rich and the tune is dreadful as well

as it happens I'm right now this minute listening to Leverton Fox:) not sure I'd otherwise mention either him or them in this thread though

I go to the top of the street I go to the bottom of the street I look to the sky and my lips are dry I'm frightened.

Since I work from home and don't go out very often, my life is much the same as before. Except that I've been doing very little work. I suppose I should get back to that really :slanted:

Psychic TV, Chris & Cosey, Coil were... not for me. TG on the other hand... :)

They were a rock band - or at least they were by the time they packed in. Listening to TG24, the early gigs they're experimenting with sound and noise. The later gigs they're just turning up and running through their repertoire of "songs", which get to be very boring very quickly.
