	Ian Penman
		Ian Penman was the NME's resident intellectual provocateur in the early 80s.

		As Grahamwell has suggested elsewhere, Penman was the true test of NME fidelity, to be contrasted with the earnest "muso" preoccupations of the Melody Maker[?] and the proletarian philistinism of Sounds.

	Paul Morley Interviewed on official website of Laura Hird
		He began writing for the NME in the late ’70s, reporting mostly on post-punk and the Joy Division/New Order/Factory record scene, and his cerebral flights of fancy were in marked contrast to the dry analysis of CS Murray, the myth-making of Nick Kent and the spleen of Burchill and Parsons.
		Together with Ian Penman, he became renowned as the foremost champion of a New Pop aesthetic that favoured the fizzle of the ever changing now over entrenched posterities, applying modernist ideas to New Romantic futurism and chart acts.
		Me and Ian Penman at the NME in the early ’80s used to get up to a few shenanigans and I often wonder whether the revenge on our hubris was the invention of Q and then Mojo and now the Americanisation of Uncut.

		The three-month review and separation of operations has led to the departure of Volante managing director and one-time Compaq Australia boss Ian Penman, in line with earlier expectations that he would leave.
		Penman ran Volante for barely 18 months and initially rejected Commander's takeover bid, but lent his support to the deal when Commander upped its offer to $1.15 per share, or $147 million.
		The offer valued Penman's stake in the company at $287,500.

	Waggish: February 2005 Archives
		Although Zappa built a career on purporting to despise the facades of Western consumer culture, he could never actually tear himself away from its value system (he just recycled it, reflected it back in myriad 'negative' forms); he could never step out of his circus-master role and plunge into the world of the Other.
		Penman is dead-on when he says that Zappa was wholly unable to transcend the zeitgeist; most of his stuff sounds incredibly dated, often to a specific year.
		Like Cook, he got the good stuff out of the way early, when there was still a bit of celebration and joy (in a 60's Southern California kind of way) in the music of his little band.

		Volante's board had previously described the bid as "absurdly low" and pointed to an independent expert's report valuing the IT company at $1.27-$1.44 a share.
		But Volante chief executive Ian Penman said the revised offer represented a 14 per cent increase on the original bid and was a good outcome for shareholders in the short term.
		Mr Penman said he wanted to avoid the takeover degenerating into a "nasty, acrimonious" battle, which would prove damaging for both companies.
