situationist book

I picked up this book to read for fun for studio as I've been referring to the situationist international for psychogeographing ideas for my project. Anyway, when I saw the cover it reminded me of the Sex Pistols or The Clash for some reason. Upon reading the first page:

"The name had been batted around in reference to punk, because Sex Pistol Svengali
Malcolm McLaren was supposedly connected with the situationists - or was it that, like a lot of 1960s UK art students, he favored the situationist rhetoric about revolution arising out of the boredom of everyday life?"
Cool!

Currently listening to: Jonathan Coulton: Baby Got Back
