Early next month Totally Wired: Postpunk Interviews and Overviews is published in the USA by Soft Skull. It's the first of three of my books Soft Skull are putting out over the course of the next year: the others are Bring the Noise and Energy Flash.

Totally Wired US is slightly different from its UK incarnation, featuring the "lost" chapter on SST/Los Angeles/"progressive punk", compensation for its inexplicable absence from the US edition of Rip It Up.

There will be a Totally Wired event in Los Angeles
at Book Soup (8818 Sunset Boulevard, West Hollywood) on September 16th at 7PM - more details of that to come.
