"...so you’d find out about things that way"

Where I was, as a young teenager back in the early 80s, you’d hear a band like Throbbing Gristle or Psychic TV and they’d start talking about William Burroughs, and you’d wonder who that was so you’d find out about things that way.—Jack Sargeant, describing the impulse behind the two books of his we're re-issuing this year, Deathtripping: The Cinema of Transgression and Naked Lens: Beat Cinema, an impulse that reminds of what animates so many people working in "indie" culture, you follow what you like, and sooner or later, you're doing what we do.
