Incite! was a fanzine I published from 1985 until 1998, while I was first a student, then a professor, at Harvard University.. Although it evolved over the years, its main focus was on independent music, with side forays into various aspects of pop culture and personal reflections. In 2012 I digitized all 30 copies and posted them on my home page at Lehman College, but they didn’t survive a migration to a new platform. So I’m replanting them here, with some new bells and whistles—specifically, links on most pages to songs from records I reviewed or bands I discussed. Each issue includes a short description (from 2012) of the context in which it was written; a nice overview of the fanzine can be found here, in something my friend Stephanie Burt wrote for the London Review of Books when I first posted it at Lehman. I’ve included an index of all thirty issues below, with links and short descriptions of their contents.
