Svenonius, Ian. The Psychic Soviet and Other Works by Ian F Svenonius. Drag City. Chicago. 2006. First Edition. Signed.
Signed first edition from author, talk show host, and rock musician Ian F Svenonius, singer for groups like Nation of Ulysses, the Make-Up, Weird War, and XYZ, and also known for his writings like this book and the subsequent Supernatural Strategies for Making a Rock n’ Roll Group. This collection of 19 essays published by Chicago based publisher and record label Drag City is intended to play off the design of Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book, and consists of the single largest collection of Svenonius’ writing, a tongue and cheek analysis of the collapse of the Soviet Unknown, the role of the artist in society and rise of the DJ as American export, and whether rock and roll has become a religion.
270pp. Pressed plastic wraps with rubbing and wear to edges. Some soiling and wear to textblock. Pages mostly clean. Inscribed by author on title page. Good.
