This isn't just a book about the history of punk; it traces the spirit of negation; of scandalized, moral indignation, from the French Revolution, through to Surrealism and Dada and the Situationists. As academically rigorous as it is stylishly written, it is an absolute must if you are a music lover in any way, a true classic of the oft-pilloried category of Cultural Studies: it crosses disciplinary boundaries in the most intellectually fertile way imaginable, yet jettisons none of the rigor of traditional scholarship, in that it is propelled forward by a driving, irrepressible energy even as it lingers on the smallest of evocative details (such as why Jonathan Richman's "One-two-three-four-five-six" at the beginning of his classic song "Roadrunner", a paean to the imaginative power of rock n roll on the radio, changed the world forever.

Review:
'Lipstick Traces time travels on the wings of philosophy, history, conjecture and copious research to visit parallel movements of cultural rebellion... they range dizzyingly from punk to Dadaism, from French situationists to Anabaptism... destined, in other words, to achieve cult status.' The New York Times 'The world's greatest living rock critic.' Charles Shaar Murray, Independent
From the Publisher:
One of America's leading critics on popular culture
A brilliant and original investigation into underground, alternative and revolutionary movements into art, music and other cultural forms using the Sex Pistols' famous cry 'I am an Antichrist' as its starting point.
