Me and Frank have been gathering together all our best early 80s NYC interviews and features. In fact, we’ve completely rinsed them out. Loads of this stuff has never been published before. Think I posted the Justin Strauss one here some weeks ago, but there’s a whole load just going live around now.  
Justin here, if you haven’t seen it. Well worth a read.
