BUREAU OF LOST CULTURE – The Post Punk Druid

“Punk taught us the future had only just begun” he says.

For him that future was to include the bands Killing Joke, The Orb, Brilliant and The KLF; starting various record labels; a grammy; hit records; producing and remixing a massive range of artists including Paul McCartney, The Verve, Toots and The Maytalls, Take That, Tom Jones, Maria McKee, Kate Bush, Guns N’ Roses, Primal Scream, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Art of Noise, Crowded House, Erasure, U2, INXS, James and the Suns of Arqa.

And running beneath it all was a deeply countercultural spirit.

Youth (Martin Glover) returned to the Bureau to talk about his life and times.

We get into punk, post punk, London as The City of Revelation, psychgeography, The Sacred Thames, squattin, the South London arts lab, druidry, turning Stonehenge off, having an epiphany, burning money, sampling, the creative pricess, drugs – and, of course, counterculture.
