Episode Description

🎙️ Support The Lydian Spin 🎙️ (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/tsd1975)   Inspired by a lifelong obsession with poetry and prose, Harlow Crandall channels his obsession with literature and rock music into the release of his new album, Better a New Demon, recorded with the support of Peter Manktelow, Meadow Wyand, and Justin Pallini.

As a Ph.D. candidate working in one of America's largest music archives at Middle Tennessee State University, he's presently completing a book tentatively titled The Architects of Punk & No Wave: The Literary Impulses of the New York Underground in the 1970s. The project explores how punk and no wave pioneers from Richard Hell to Lydia Lunch established a new aesthetic and subculture from the wreckage of the 1960s and their own literary aspirations, and it documents their response over the next decades to the changing cultural currency of New York's mythic decade.
