BIBLIOGRAPHY

This was left out of the US edition, I'm not sure why, so for those on this side of the pond who feel its absence, here it is.

At the end there is a supplement to the published bibliography, a pictorial list of selected postpunk-related titles that were published after Rip It Up came out, in the form of scans of the front covers. All recommended reading.

MAGAZINES

The richest research resource is the music press of the period. In the UK, that means the weekly rock papers (New Musical Express, Sounds, Melody Maker, Record Mirror), monthly magazines (The Face, ZigZag), irregular magazines (Collusion) and fanzines (Jamming, Sniffin’ Glue, City Fun, Vague, Ten Commandments, Gunrubber, ad infinitum). In America, more than the national rock magazines, the most intensive contemporary coverage occurred in the music sections of city-based alternative weeklies (East Village Eye, SoHo Weekly News, Village Voice), in publications located somewhere between professional and amateur (Search and Destroy and its successor magazine Re/Search, Forced Exposure). Heavy Metal (not about the rock genre but a science fiction magazine) had an adventurous music section for a couple of years in the early Eighties thanks to columnist Lou Stathis. Eluding my search but reputedly of use: New York Rocker, Flipside, NO, Trouser Press, and Slash.

THE WEB

There’s too many postpunk related sites to list here (and most can be found by Googling a specific artist) but one particularly notable general-music webmagazine is Perfect Sound Forever (http://www.furious.com/perfect/) which has built up a substantial archive of extensive interviews with postpunk figures--Keith Levene, Pylon, the list is endless and ever-growing.
