REMEMBERING MICK FARREN

We are all reeling from the news here, and by the way that the news has proliferated across the internet, so are a lot of other people.

What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?
