Sex and Guts

Review: Ladies and gentlemen...

Do not let the above review dissuade you. Don't let it corrupt you, footbind you, blind you, or cripple you. I'm not exactly sure what criteria said reviewer suckles or embraces... but it's obviously somehow misguided.

Allow a voice of reason to shout from the mountains: Sex and Guts no. 4 is, without a doubt, the best collection of interviews and articles that I've EVER had the pleasure to read. And I'll stand on record as saying that it's miles above Vale or Juno's most recent offerings. Think RE/Search with a speed charged pulse, the best parts of David Kerekes' Headpress, and a big spoonful of Jim Goad attitude.

Editors Gene and Lydia should be applauded for giving us this slice of cake. Warhol's Interview be damned! SG no. 4 makes everything else look like grade school scribbling...

Review: Pointless. I'd expect more from a Lydia Lunch project. This Gergrotis person conducts tedious, self-serving interviews and writes like an pseudo-anguished 16-year old. The rest of the writing is equally embarassing, mundane at best. I'd only recommend purchasing this in order to sell it as a collectable in 10 years.

Summary: If there was a zero rating, this would get it.
Review: The review underneath is, unfortunately, biased. Well-written, but biased all the same. Reading the review, it becomes painfully aware that said reviewer is probably a friend of Lunch's or Gregorits'.

My appraisal will be short, but bitter: This book sucks.

Yeah, RE/Search isn't like this...but then again, V. Vale doesn't obsess over Britney Spears throughout his books.

I'd like it if it weren't as pompous as it is. If you can get it for 5 bucks somewhere, do so. Reading this is like a trainwreck meets a miscarriage.

Review: This Gregoritis character sure fancies himself. Unfortunately, that makes for rather tedious reading.
