Tony Wilson: The Rebirth Of Cool
Latest addition to Spike is Craig Johnson’s fascinating and frequently hilarious interview with Factory Records’ supremo Tony Wilson. F4 is the latest incarnation of Wilson’s iconic label and the interview covers new signing Raw-T, the upcoming Joy Division, how Wilson accidentally created Frankie Goes To Hollywood by thwarting Martin Hamnett’s Fairlight dreams, and much, much more.
Unfortunately I’ve run out of time and haven’t been able to add the other articles I had scheduled for this update - but I’ll add them when I get back. Right now, I’m off on assignment for Asian Diver to Borneo, visiting the island resort of Lankayan in search of whale sharks. I’ll leave you to Steve’s tender mercies over the next week.
