Do buy a copy - it is my best and most complete work. So goes the motto: all roads lead to URINE-8.
The blurb says this:
"In 2014, writer, low-level administrator and “roaring unsuccess” Nicholas Flower – struck by the impotent failure of his creative ambitions and the reverberating shock of recent fatherhood – devoted himself to the instigation of a cultural revolution (plus menial work for money), beginning in Norfolk and moving, as it must, ever west from there.
"At its centre was the self-styled Ballardian boyband URINE-8: wilfully unlistenable, cerebral and ludicrous, contemptuous and intellectual, subverting and deconstructing what a twenty-first century boyband could be and promoting a radical sexual ideology as a means of liberating the miserable and broken of the over-sexed if deeply unsexy postmodern age.
"A celebration of the lasting power of music to effect real change and the importance of dissent, this book is a hilarious, absurd defence of the necessity of free thought and impossible demands, and a ridiculous distillation of the cultural analyses of our woefully recent past."
