Fanatics! Finally, we are getting this broadcast out to you all! I have been working on this one for weeks. In fact, I was changing things all the way until last night. Many weeks ago, whilst reading Simon Reynolds’ very good book on Post Punk, Rip It Up And Start Again, I thought I would do a show based around bands that were in the book and some that weren’t. Besides the topic matter being interesting, Reynolds is a good writer and puts all this music in context. This is a very worthwhile read and the music holds up very well all these years later.
Rip It Up And Start Again.
