The Lydian Spin - Episode 360: Tim Stegall Returns to Discuss His New Book Anarchy in the Studio: Punk Music 1970-1979

The veteran punk journalist and resident Austin chronicler Tim Stegall returns with a new book in tow. Anarchy in the Studio: Punk Music 1970-1979 (Ruffian Books) is a, five-hundred-page love letter to the genre's formative decade, told twelve inches at a time. Tim, who has been documenting punk and the underground since 1985, moves beyond the usual CBGB and Sex Pistols myth making to map the sweeping, messy cross-pollination of the era through more than a hundred and forty essential records. Lydia aptly notes that Tim is both a "master archivist" and a "fanboy fanatic".
