On to Leeds. A book that accumulates resonance with every chapter. Here we get a discussion of Consumer Fetsihism and an exploratuin of the streets of Leeds.A city built for shopping. Comaparison with the boulevards of Paris. The inevitable Pop subject matter is The Gang Of Four, one of the finest bands that the city and indeed Punk and Post Punk produced.Middle Class Marxist students. Among the finest kind of students there are. Two of them from Sevenoaks. Karl Whitney also broadens his discussion to include The Brudenell Social Club, Scritti Politti, Soft Cell, Victorianism and more. The chapter made me want to visit Leeds and explore for myself.
