cosJust arrived - the new biography of one of NZ’s absolute finest bands, The Clean!
Now I have a queue of #music #books to read, thanks to @acb very kindly giving me a book about the story of #Stereolab in 20 songs just the other day.

The Enemy started in 1977 and along with The Clean, they're one of the first bands released on Flying Nun, and widely considered to be forerunners of "the Dunedin Sound". A quick search of BandCamp turns up a lot of bands called The Enemy, but nothing quite like the original kiwi iteration.

PSA: you can now pre-order Richard Langston’s biography of The Clean, probably NZ’s _finest_ #indie band (despite tough competition!) from Flying Nun. Says it’s due to ship in April.

"Flying Nun on Multitrack
First installment of my blog about these special tapes in the FNR and Chris Knox collections at National Library of NZ. What is a multitrack? What is on these tapes? And how can you listen to and research them?"
