Comment on Rip it up! by Phil Gyford

As we tweeted yesterday, I really liked those chapters. For me, the bits that didn’t quite fit were some of the US stuff. So much of the book was (understandably) focused on the UK that the American scenes either seemed a bit token (“Surely there was more going on in all of America?” I’d think) or just not very related to the surrounding chapters.

Otherwise, I liked the earlier post-punk stuff because I was too young at the time to be aware of it, never mind appreciate it, and I’ve heard little about it since. It’s awful that I hadn’t even *heard* Gang of Four until (checks) 2007.

And then I liked the later, more mainstream and synthy stuff because although I knew a lot of it from my teen years I wasn’t into music enough then to put it in context. It was all just part of the big mix of chart pop to me. And so seeing how it could all be made to fit together was an eye-opener.

So I don’t quite agree with your minor criticism but yes, it’s generally a wonderful book.

That, sir, was very interesting. In an age where we define ourselves more and more digitally, even getting to the point where we are throwing away our once beloved CD and DVD collections, I think it’s important that the items we keep must be both useful and highly personal.

If I lived in London I’d put my Oyster chip in my legless He-man toy keyring. A very crude version of hacking, it’s legs fell off so I clipped my keys through it’s plastic pelvis.
