#NowPlaying What’s a defining record of *your 1990s that you rarely see get a mention. Tricky, Oasis, Pulp, Nirvana, Grace etc a given. Surprise me.

I know where I was this day in June 1987; I was interviewing the graphic designer Jamie Reid. I've just dug out the article and put it online for the first time here; https://t.co/r7fBn6ZgKz Lots of talk of the Sex Pistols, Paris '68, and the importance of history...

Lou is finally able to reconcile with the Warhol world and writes the definitive song about some of its characters - Joe D’Allesandro, Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, Jackie Curtis, Joe Campbell. His biggest hit #TheSecretPublic

June 15th 1979 #UnknownPleasures released. Applause please for the album's producer; Martin Hannett.

Found sounds (the metallic clang of an old lift door closing, glass smashing), innovate, embrace space, less is more...
