VARIOUS-PUNK & NEW WAVE Time Travel: Pop, Media and Sexuality 1976-96 (1996 UK 424-page softback book - Beginning in 1977 with reports from Sex Pistols and Clash gigs, including early reviews of The Buzzcocks and Throbbing Gristle, 'Time Travel'continues through the 1980's and beyond - looking at the gender games of the New Romantics, the vulnerability of The Smiths, the self-destructive anger of Joy Division and Nirvana, the synthetic pleasures of House and Techno. Through the sweeping examination of changing fashions in style of music, Jon Savage explores the issues raised by pop: androgyny and homosexuality, violence, drugs, law, perception and the media, the relationship of Britain to America, the whole nature of youth itself. Connecting the rage and rebellion of punk rock to the pulsating electronica of Techno, 'Time Travel' constructs an alternative social and emotional history of the last twenty years. There are a few creases in the cover and down the spine, showing that this has been read a few times, but otherwise the book is in excellent condition!)
