New
York Rocker: My Life in the Blank Generation
by Gary Valentine
By 1970, the hippie dream of the 60s was dead - the soundtrack to the
revolution had become a multimillion-dollar industry. But four years later,
emerging from the rubble of rock, was a music whose hard edge matched the
lifestyle of its home turf - New York’s East Village. Punk’s initiators
- Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, and Patti Smith - had one foot in 19th-century
French symbolist poetry and the other in the raw sound of predecessors
like the Velvet Underground. Now, in New York Rocker, Gary Valentine offers
an inside account of this little-documented era. He talks about the luminaries
- like Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Devo, and the New
York Dolls - and the gigs at CBGBs hitting the news as Warhol and his glittering
crew descended. What began as a unique blend of fin-de-siècle ennui and
edgy rock, exploded worldwide into an anarchic frenzy of safety pins and
gutter decadence, then plunged into excess and eventual ruin - with its
survivors making a leap into the mainstream. The Publisher
Please
Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk
by Legs McNeil, Gillian McCain
Though Britain's notorious Sex Pistols shoved punk rock into the face
of mainstream America, the movement was already brewing in the U.S. in
the 1960s with bands like the Velvet Underground and Iggy and the Stooges.
Through hundreds of interviews with forgotten bands as well as the ones
that made names for themselves - including Blondie and the Ramones - Legs
McNeil and Gillian McCain chronicle punk rock history through the people
who really lived it. Please Kill Me is a thrash down memory lane for those
hip to punk's early years and an enlightening history lesson for youngsters
interested in the origins of modern "alternative" music. Amazon.com
