The latest volume of writing by influential New York\u2013based critic and curator Bob Nickas collects his 2012\u201314 column for Vice magazine\u2019s Komp-laint Dept. This column unleashed the full omnivorous range of the author\u2019s interests. There are essays on musicians such as Neil Young, Sun Ra, Royal Trux and Lydia Lunch, which look at their biographies and the history of Nickas\u2019 personal relationship with their music; there are lengthy and often very funny \u201ccomplaints\u201d about, among other things, two different presidents, Jeff Koons, New York architecture, the meeting of fashion and punk, religion in general, nostalgia and the problem with contemporary graffiti. Additionally, there are meditations on filmmakers such as David Cronenberg and Nicolas Refin. The book is rounded out by perhaps the definitive (two-part) examination of how and why Richard Prince uses appropriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
