You know, the frustration and emptiness of getting cold cereal when what you really craved was a stack of hot pancakes. Ross MacDonald And do you find yourself staring perplexedly at the rows and rows of generic products that dot the racks at the local record store and wonder aloud as to what to buy? If: you answered no to each of the above, there‘s a good chance you‘re an apathetic music fan who likes porridge. On the other hand, if you answered yes, join the club. But don‘t dismay, because another concerned fan by the name of Ira Robbins has done something to remedy the situation. Robbins, however, is much more than just a critic. He is also a historian, accomplished journalist and foremost, a music lover. _ _ No, Mr. Robbins isn‘t a radio programmer, retailer or musician. He is, heaven forbid, a critic who was at one time the Publisher and Editorial Director of the nowâ€"defunct Trouser Press. Maybe I can save you some money on insurance The New Trouser Press Record Guide is his labour of love, and along with the first edition, a much needed alternative to the excellent Rolling Stone Record Guide series. I say much needed because for all of its scope, the latest Rolling Stone Guide has sadly neglected much of what has happened since the dawning of the 1977 punk movement. Robbins, astutely assisted by a hodge podge of knowledgeable writers, editors and assortâ€" Before you buy, let‘s compare. 15" OFF Allstate You‘re in good hands.

After quickly thumbing through the 463 wellâ€"utilized pages, my first reaction was a more appropriate title might have been something like "Everything You Wanted To Know About Music But Were Afraid To Listen To, Couldn‘t Find Or Nobody Was Playing"‘. And asrobbins explains in the Preface, this was precisely the concept. _ _ ‘"‘The goal here was to make sure there was something for every taste, with a sympathetic viewpoint to artists trying to achieve someâ€" thing other than MTV airplay. Some truly execrable pop fodder has been blithely neglected, and bands whose relevance to any idea of what new wave was may be utterly imperceptible have been tossed in for spice and variety." The opinions that follow are eloquent, witty, pungent, objective, and above all, informaâ€" tive. They will answer every question you ever had about Acid Casualties, Afraid of Mice, Armand Schaubroeck Steals, Swimming Pool Q‘s and so on and so on. So the next time you hear some DJ blowing his station‘s horn, randomly select a name from the Trouser Press Guide and phone in a request. Here‘s ten that says he won‘t have it.
