No Wave and Byron Coley
If you happened to have picked up No Wave: Post-Punk. Underground. New York. 1976-1980.- and you should – it should have been immediately apparent that Thurston Moore’s name appears before Byron Coley’s. Granted, having been witness to at least some of what the book details probably makes Moore a decent commentator. But the fact that a guy whose made his life’s work writing on music while hocking rare records shouldn’t get second billing. Marketing’s a mother, huh?
