Carl F Gauze, who may or may not be a card-carrying member of the Blank Generation, follows punk godfather Richard Hell from the seedy world of rock to the perhaps seedier world of the written word.
GODLIKE BY RICHARD HELL Akashic Books You might recall Richard Hell, the leader of an NYC punk band called the Voidoids (Love come in Spurts, Blank Generation). Just as punk faded from a vital musical force to a stock garage band format, Mr. Hell left music for a career in poetry, which probably pays ...

Brian Kruger enumerates the things we take for granted today that would not have existed without The Ramones.
... here, for all we know, CBGB's could've stayed as it was originally intended — a place to play "Country, Blue Grass, and Blues." So no Television, no Voidoids. No Blondie. No Talking Heads. In short, no punk rock. Oh sure, there might've been rock and roll that was damn good, and that even sounded a ...

Laptop Presents: The Old Me vs. The New You (Trust Me). Review by Matthew Moyer.
... ME VS. THE NEW YOU Trust Me The press kit was helpful in that it mentioned that Jesse Hartman played in a reformed version of Richard Hell and the Voidoids a few years back. Not only is that factoid pretty cool, but it added another wrinkle to my brain. The press kit was unhelpful in that it included ...

Time (Matador). Review by Matt Cibula.
... cassette R.I.P., and collects some really great performances: Hell premiering his best-known "hit," "Love Comes in Spurts"; Hell with the original Voidoids kicking serious ass on "Betrayal Takes Two" and "Crack of Dawn," and Hell with later incarnations of his group featuring, weirdly, The Meters' Ziggy ...

... took The Strokes to remind us of the sound and majesty that emanated from the 1970s out of New York with their own brash mixture of Television and Voidoids-inspired riffs, than perhaps Life Without Buildings will prompt us to revisit some of the other classic artists from that time period. This band ...

Matthew Moyer is glad that Holly George-Warren and the other compilers of this coffeetable-riffic collection of punk photos fetishize image as much as he does.
... many a Rolling Stone byline, and who is joined in forward duties by Richard Hell, member of groups like Television, the Heartbreakers and his own Voidoids. As far as I can tell, George-Warren’s duties included the frankly unenviable task of choosing 365 photos to represent several decades and at least ...

At first glance, maybe it seems a little shocking that Clinton Heylin has temporarily abandoned the rock world to write about filmmaker Orson Welles, but after reading this book, Matthew Moyer wonders what took him so bloody long.
... enfant terrible is none other than rock scribe-par-excellence Clinton Heylin. I know I was. Having his read his excellent From the Velvets To The Voidoids pre-punk anthology, it seemed a bit of an odd volte face for him to switch focus from the grimy, shambolic, raw music of NY punk to the towering ...

Various Artists (Musicblitz). Review by Julio Diaz.
... both age groups equally cantankerous. In the "old guys" department, the most noteworthy reappearance is the original line-up of Richard Hell & the Voidoids, together again for the first time in 23 years with the transcendent and surprisingly upbeat "Oh." Mudhoney's "Inside Job" (featuring Kramer on ...
