[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]I'm going to have to get it. Do you know if you can pre-order it or who the author is?[/QUOTE]
the author is Simon Reynolds, and i think you can probably order it from the uk version of amazon and have it shipped over here, but it might cost a bit to have it shipped overseas

I think I'll wait for it to come out here, thanks for the heads up.
