Articles tagged "rip it up and start again" Music FeatureLive Fast, Die Young, or Get Off the Stageby Judy Berman[3.Apr.08] :. Why wouldn't they burn out instead of fade away? Berman examines the sad spectacle of punk-rock reunions and shows how they destroy the two elements that actually made punk attractive: sex appeal and impermanence.  Books ReviewRip It Up and Start Again: Post-Punk 1978-1984 by Simon Reynoldsby Alison Neale[21.Oct.05] :. Focusing primarily on British and American music between 1978 and 1984, Reynolds emphasizes the idea that the glossed-over post-punk years were not marginal to the history of rock: they actually spawned a range of sounds that were more revolutionary than punk itself and that left a far more significant legacy, laying the foundations for the subsequent emergence of alternative music in all its myriad forms. |
