Rip it up
Simon Reynolds' book 'Rip It Up and Start Again: Post-punk 1978-84' is out now in the UK, and due out in the US in Feb 2006 (haven't seen it here yet), or just grab it from amazon.co.uk. He's got a great interview with Green from Scritti Politti up on his site at the mo...
from Simon's blog... "I tidied up my side of the dialogue a bit (not that much) but altered Green's not one whit: he actually talks like that, these perfectly formed literary sentences, long roaming ones with subclauses and divagations, almost always infallibly reconverging to reach a conclusion. "'E talks like a boook, that Green Gartside".
For all you sneaker freaks...Adidas has bought out Reebok, more here.

I finished this acouple of weeks back and it's well worth tracking down. The perspective he brings to the era is refreshing especially in the wake of all bands now so obviously doing xeroxes of this era....
