Really honest, beautifully wrought piece. Karly is the queen of the telling detail. www.vulture.com/article/wedn...

This is a very good piece on Showgirl and its fallout, and I didn't know about the viral tweet that inspired "Wood" -- knowing that exists really changes how I think about it www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...

And this is where I say my current synth pop playlist is totally inspired by your great book RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN. Read it everyone its the Bible on post-punk!

Scritti videos are constructed around ruses to get round the fact he can’t dance. The one for ‘hypnotize’ has him on a sofa if i recall right
