Must just draw attention to this month's Mojo magazine. Interesting cover story on the birth of Pil, the making of Metal Box and the eventual disintegration of the classic Lydon/Wobble/ Levine line-up. David Fricke on No Wave. Chic. Arthur Russell.
Best of all, John Savage compiles his ultimate Post-Punk cassette tape, coming from a strong Gutterbreakz angle: Suicide, Cabs, TG, Chrome, The Normal, ACR, Human League, Joy Division, Wire, Devo....mmmmm, fucking tasty. Nice work, sir. There's also a chance to win a CD-R of Mr Savage's comp. by simply answering which post-punk track (in your opinion) has John criminally left out? Worth a go for the chance to hear a few obscurities like The Screamers (LA synth-punks), Metal Urbain (Stooges fuzz guitar meets abrasive synth/drum machine) and a rare B-side by The Pop Group. I will probably nominate Robert Rental's devestatingly damaged single "Paralysis". Wish me luck....
