Please use the comments link below to suggest any resources (web links, books, articles, compilation discs, etc.) that I may have overlooked, or that may not have been available when I wrote the guide. If I'm unable to incorporate them in the main pages, at least they'll be listed here.

A glaring omission in your bibliography is the name of Greg Sandow, the influential Village Voice critic who succeeded Tom Johnson and preceded Kyle Gann.
ReplyDeleteI'm well aware of Sandow's work at a crucial time in the history. Unfortunately, his work has not been collected in book form yet. It really should be, and then I'd definitley add him to the bibliography. As it is, Voice articles from that era are hard to find.
