Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung by Greil Marcus M4B
Plaudits:
"A marvellous collection... It will unquestionably teach you more about rock music and the appreciation thereof than a two-year subscription to all of the current British rock papers and mags." - Time Out
"A superb collection... Wild and funny and unpredictable. Lester Bangs was a great American writer who happened to write about rock'n'roll" - Rolling Stone
"What this book demands from a reader is a willingness to accept that the best writer in America could write almost nothing but record reviews." - Greil Marcus
"Bangs was one of the best writers ever to appear on newsprint...When he died, American culture lost one its most astute, ornery, funniest and most soulful observers" - New York Times
"Still a byword for rock writing at its most unrestrained and passionate...his two posthumous anthologies...attest to his brilliance" - John Harris, Guardian
Blurb:
Until his death aged thirty-three in 1982, Lester Bangs wrote wired, rock 'n' roll pieces on Iggy Pop, The Clash, John Lennon, Kraftwerk, Lou Reed. As a rock critic, he had an eagle-eye for distinguishing the pre-packaged imitation from the real thing; written in a conversational, wisecracking, erotically charged style, his hallucinatory hagiographies and excoriating take-downs reveal an iconoclast unafraid to tell it like it is.
To his journalism he brought the talent of a great a renegade Beat poet, and his essays, reviews and scattered notes convey the electric thrill of a music junky indulging the habit of a lifetime. As Greil Marcus writes in his introduction, 'What this book demands from a reader is a willingness to accept that the best writer in America could write almost nothing but record reviews.'
Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung contains the wild and brilliant writings of Lester Bangs—the most outrageous and popular rock critic of the 1970s—edited and with an introduction by the reigning dean of rock critics, Greil Marcus.
