Furthermore, the bootlegged labor of love Messthetics series took the hunter-gathering obscurantism of Nuggets a few steps further into the darkness of collector scumdom. The legendary Wanna Buy a Bridge? and C81 compilations (both of which had ties to Rough Trade, a label, shop, and distributor that helped birth the scene) were released while the ball was rolling in the early '80s, but they became valuable out-of-print artifacts of the period at some point. post-punk puzzle remained missing: a definitive compilation. But throughout all of this nostalgic hoopla, one piece of the U.K. Meanwhile, across the pond, books like Our Band Could Be Your Life were documenting the American side of post-punk (slightly later and rather different) and bands like Mission of Burma re-joined to play old favorites and don new kneepads. Suddenly, aunties and uncles across the United Kingdom were recollecting sparsely attended gigs by Crispy Ambulance, Drinking Electricity, the Stunt Kites, and the Normil Hawaiians.

1978-1982 radar were re-registering with releases that paired small-time pressings of singles with live shows and otherwise abandoned material. (Well, actually, he would've left them out of the series, so the point is probably moot.) After all, that artery was plugging quickly - even the smallest blips on the U.K. In reality, even Burns himself could've told you that there wasn't a need for a '23 Skidoo: Ken Burns Post-Punk' compilation by the end of 2001. At the time of In the Beginning There Was Rhythm's release, the level of resurgent interest in the style was so high that one might've expected a ten-part documentary series from Ken Burns. Meanwhile, Alec Empire and El-P - each arguably the most abrasive experimentalist in his field - live up to their billing on the massively distorted 'Megaton B-Boy 2000.' It's true that a few of the quirkier experiments never quite get off the ground, but by and large, So.How's Your Girl? is packed with imaginative, intriguing music.ДЄngular guitars, funk- and disco-influenced rhythms, dabblings with electronic gadgetry, leftist politics, a dash of irony, and vocals that aren't so much yelled or sung as they're chanted or detachedly intoned must mean one thing and one thing only: post-punk. The electronic collaborations range the farthest afield, and provide some of the most intriguing highlights - especially the bluesy trip-hop of 'The Truth,' featuring Moloko crooner Roisin Murphy.

The DJ cuts - the duo's own 'Rock n' Roll (Could Never Hip Hop Like This)' and the DJ Shadow/DJ Quest team-up 'Holy Calamity (Bear Witness II)' - are some of the most exciting tracks on the album, and of the rappers, Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Brand Nubian's Grand Puba and Sadat X turn in the most memorable performances. The finished product does lack some of the sheer craziness one might have anticipated, but the meatiness of the best music also keeps the Elliott-centered comedic interludes from turning the project into a mere novelty. Parts of the album are surprisingly atmospheric, and rely more on the texture of the sound than the star power of the guest - which makes sense for a producer's album. The album ends up as more of a showcase for their eclecticism, tailoring productions to their collaborators and creating a colorful universe where classicist rap, turntablism, trip-hop, and electronica all get along comfortably. Given that framework, and the fact that those two producers are eccentric geniuses Prince Paul and Dan the Automator, you might expect So.How's Your Girl? to be a goof from top to bottom. The concept behind Handsome Boy Modeling School - if you separate it from its origins in a Chris Elliott sitcom - can be taken as a subtle parody of hip-hop's player affectations: two geeky producers masquerading as jet-set male models.
