Taken From Pitchfork:

It must be hard being a big-name author, pretending to care about your high-profile speaking appearances, private readings with literary groupies, and Oprah's Book Club nominations when all you want to do is release a celebrity "Under the Influence"-type compilation album like Bob Geldof and the guy from the Libertines who isn't Pete Doherty get to do.

Well, sometimes writers do get to be rock stars, sort of. Pop music journalist extraordinaire Simon Reynolds, author of the recently published book Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978-84, has compiled a companion disc of the same name, due out this coming Monday, May 15 on V2 in the UK.

The comp features many of the acts gloriously and glowingly written about by Reynolds in his book, including like the Fall, the Slits, the Raincoats, Devo, and Young Marble Giants.

Tracklisting:

01 The Fall - "Fiery Jack"
02 Devo - "Praying Hands"
03 Pulsallama - "The Devil Lives in My Husband's Body"
04 Cabaret Voltaire - "Sluggin' for Jesus Part 1"
05 Josef K - "Sense of Guilt"
06 Scritti Politti - "PAs"
07 The Slits - "Spend Spend Spend"
08 Fatal Microbes - "Violence Grows"
09 Robert Wyatt - "Grass"
10 Siouxsie & the Banshees - "Slowdive"
11 The Raincoats - "Only Loved at Night"
12 Young Marble Giants - "Choci Loni"
13 The Human League - "Dancevision"
14 Thomas Leer - "Tight as a Drum"
15 The Associates - "White Car in Germany"
16 The B-52s - "Give Me Back My Man"
17 John Cooper Clarke - "Beasley Street"
18 The Specials - "Friday Night, Saturday Morning"
