It's basically an AV accompaniment to the British chapters in Rip It Up And Start Again, which is worth a read.

It certainly is! Simon Reynolds' stuff is always worth reading:

I dunno, I liked the documentary but that book bugged the hell out of me. Possibly simply because I have different taste in music

Well there are some sections I liked better than others in it, but that was the beauty of it, it covered a lot in pithy chapters. I recall there was one or two chapters I thought were a bit crappy but overall I enjoyed it. It rekindled my love of music, scenes, indie labels, movements etc.

I don't give a rats ass about anything much the man has done since the turn of the 80's but I do love to hear him speak. Yay!

"My Life in the Bush of Ghost" from 81' wit David Byrne is a masterpiece.

"Not all of England wear eyeliner and play synthesisers."
Pretty much sums up growing up in LA in the late 70's, early 80's.
