Can't believe nobody's mentioned Jon Savage's England's Dreaming - am I the only person whose whole worldview it changed?

“the rise of Nazism brought out a rebellious spirit in him, as in many others.”
yeah, I heard some French guys started some kind of underground movement around that time.

Fantastic review, cheers! It seems Wolk is irritated by the very same things that'd wind me right up - that is, factual inaccuracy, unattributed generalisation and grammatical chaos - so I think I'll chuck it in the pile marked "sell" as soon as I get home.
Is Cale's tome really as dull as you suggest, ESOJ? It looks so purdy...what's wrong with it? I was looking forward to diving in.
Oh, and Lydon's No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs is a great read.

Lydon's book is incredibly badly organized and repetitive but still very funny.
Isn't Simon Reynolds supposed to be writing a book about postpunk, or is that just wishful thinking?

j.lu, I'll trade you something for that 1st edition of that Eddy book, if it's not already gone (may have missed it somewhere in the thread).
Going...going...gone! To Sean C.! E-mail me.

His prior book, "Soul Babies" is also pretty great in the music sections, on occasion. His stuff with R. Kelly is great, Outkast less so, etc. But I have no FUCKING idea what he means when he calls all these different dudes Gramscian, or rather I'm afraid I do have an idea and its a painfully bad one.
But yeah, he's still great.

(Sorry, Ned, but I seem to have latched onto that sentence. It would help if I didn't make any typos though.)
