before i forget: another really good polymath for you all to get into if you don't already know him is jeff nuttall. I was listening to a podcast yesterday with the main guy from smell & quim and he said nuttall was hugely influential when he taught at leeds college of art in the 70s.
nuttall is the guy who first published burroughs in the UK. but he also did drawings and music.
his book 'bomb culture' is highly recommended - a new ed. has just come out with intro by iain sinclair (btw i found out recently that iain's older bro is none other than angus sinclair ie the guy who invented the sinclair computer!!).
it's basically a write up of the 60s, but as it happened. there's a very good section where he compares ian brady and jim morrison, plus a hilarious description of a night out with burroughs. then towards the end it's all about his real attemps at doing project m type stuff with trocchi.
good shit - get it, you won't be disappointed.
