It’s just a bad idea, and it began when I was mentioning to a friend about how funny it is that all those old anti capitalist punk albums with the “PAY NO MORE THAN $3” warnings can now be Ebay-ed for a $100. For some reason, we then both thought of Greil Marcus’s book Lipstick Traces. How he made a glib aside about Marxist theorist Theodore Adorno and his exhiled-in-1940s-America memoir, Minima Moralia. With its bleaker-than-black humour and dismantling of modern life, Marcus said it would have made an excellent punk album. Why not take this pop wish and make it come true?
