Finished my 1st book of 2025. KOLLAPS by Melle Jan Kromhout & Jan Nieuwenhuis, part of the 33 1/3 Europe series. A little bit of a cheat, since it's a slender volume, but an excellent retelling and analysis of Einstürzende Neubauten's earliest works, but a very worthy read for any Neubauten fans. I picked it up near the end of 2024, but finally forced myself to read it this last week.
It will have a place of pride next to my well-worn copy of Blixa Bargeld's Headcleaner, the out of print collection of Einstürzende Neubauten lyrics and interview snippets with Harry Lachner that illuminate the song history and lyrical meaning.
As I try to turn away from staring into the endless, dispiriting void of social media, I'm trying to get myself to read more. It sometimes feels like I read a lot, but it's mostly online articles and portions of RPG books, so this [a record of reading] series will be an effort to motivate myself to read more books cover to cover.
