Simon Pitchforth said...: Great stuff. Get that Reynolds Vs. Pat Kane piece from the Maker in there. a defining bliss rock Vs. bog rock moment.; 5:45 PM

well it's all old stuff obviously, but it did take a while to assemble and sequence --also wrote afterthoughts and mini-commentaries after each piece. it kinda works as a history of the last two decades of music, albeit with certain gaps.

>pat kane
ah that one didn't make the cut. hoping to get Blissed Out reissued at some point in the next few years. i tried to make Bring the Noise barely overlap with either Blissed out or Energy Flash.; 9:21 AM

carol-anne said...: congratulations. It's good to see you've not been disillusioned by what is on offer. Can't wait to read the new book; 5:19 AM
Fuseball said...: Just arrived in the shop today. Faced-out with a "Buy this book!" card in time for the weekend. Cover looks suitably stark and startling on the shelf.

Well, that's my reading matter sorted for the next couple of days.; 11:41 AM
