Fuck I would LOVE to read this - only copy I can see is $188. I love seeing those graphic notations they do. I am also a HUGE Yoko Ono fan, I would love to read a book where the focus was on her and her work (the less Johnny L the better).

I would read this in a heartbeat if it was reissued, I would maybe even prefer it to the actual Merzbox?

Lots of reference works, many of which have a linked PDF. This is just the stuff tagged "noise", there's a ton of other music & art publications indexed and available throughout the site.

holy ghost wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 8:25 pmSort of a catch all thread, I recently read about one called Extreme Music by Michael Tau - it's been out since last year and I haven't heard anyone anywhere talk about it at all so I wanted to see if anyone had read it.

Also, I actually contributed a couple of chapters and reviews to the Fight Your Own War book. Not sure if that content was rated as 'good' or 'bad' in the above comments - but if the later - no need to read further! Ha!

No, your contributions were some of the good ones! I think most of the criticism that is directed against that book is more aimed at one particularly political essay included in the latter half---but even that has its place in it.

I need to give a cursory revisit (I don't recall the essay in reference, for example), but from what I do recall, Richard, your contributions were among the minority of good pieces in that book.
