Is it a >coincidence that UP sounds like POP? New Adventures is a great record. But, personally, I've found that Up has started to reveal itself after three or four listens. Any album that has a large proportion of midtempo songs usually fails to grab me initially. On reflection, though, tracks like You're In The Air and Walk Unafraid are both beautiful and sonically interesting. In fact, I've just listened to the album again and I really like all the tracks now! Apart from Hope, and that's because the lyrics irritate me in some strangely undefinable way. As to PB saying that Up doesn't sound like REM... What's he going on about?? It's definitely an REM album. No trademark Mills harmonies, though, and none of that Buck arpeggiated guitar stuff. He mentioned that there are lots of strange instruments and noises throughout the album, but it just sounds like a standard lo-fi-ish record to me (cf Neil Finn's Try Whistling This), plus someone bashing a saucepan on one of the tracks. Hardly a breakthough! But keep listening, and I'm sure you'll eventually think of it as one of the great REM albums. Seriously!

If you already don't like a band/artist, then >everything about them is derivative, riddled with posturing, and basically >just plain stupid. Well, OK, yeah. But I'd go a step further and say maybe it depends on your taste in postures and what pop myths you embrace. This is what I now realize I was trying to get at with mentioning how "the romance of the swashbuckling wide boy wonder" doesn't appeal to me. If it appeals to you on some level then you're more kindly disposed towards the G men. I mean, Momus is to a large extent derivative and riddled with posturing and flaunts this rather flagrantly, it's part of his "schtick" to do so, and I think he's aces. I think he adds a lot of originality to the formula too, but ultimately I suppose that's really just -my- take. Fop posturing, you see, is very much to my taste. It's not like I ever hid this fact from anyone, Ebperson :). >really see Sleater-Kinney in concert sometime. A really fun show, and the >guitarist (the non-lead-singer guitarist, that is) does all these great leg And the reason I mentioned him yet again, at the risk of being really boring and inviting pointed comments asking why I don't go post to HIS list already, is that actually I was struck by the coincidence here- I chose to see him even tho Sleater/Kinney was playing Saturday also.

I could have sworn they were thinking of "Midnight Fish". Doesn't matter much in the end tho. Oh and Eddie T (briefly as I don't wanna get too into this): In the situation you posit, I'd of course go along my way as I A) had someplace else to be anyway (and so would those in the car, whose ride I was) and B) avoid the possibility of verbal or physical altercation whenever I can and finally C) I live in Chicago and strange shit is everywhere- an incident like that wouldn't even be that notable really. This is a city where a guy goes into a downtown Walgreen's dressed as Jesus and carrying a cross and buys a pack of MnMs and people barely give him a second glance. HOWEVER...... This is different. Being as this is cyberspace, well, I'm not on my way anywhere, I'm right here. I have no responsibility to get anybody anywhere, I haven't bought tickets to anything, and the possibility of physical altercation is pretty remote. Not to mention the fact that feg is (for the most part) a community head and shoulders better than much of the net, so this kind of behavior perhaps stands out more here than in other forums- I EXPECT to get the finger in downtown Chicago, but I don't here. If I wanna deal with that on a regular basis, we all know it isn't hard to find in the world OR on the net without seeking too far. Places where I don't have to deal with it too often are much harder to find and a welcome respite. Therefore, I don't have much of a problem with preventing the guy from doing this again. I see your position, but in this case I respectfully disagree.

Having achieved fame as the lead singer of post-punk band The Teardrop Explodes, he went on to forge a solo musical career, building up an extraordinary cult following and a media reputation as one of Britainfs more colourful visionaries. For the last eight years Cope has devoted himself to travelling the length and breadth of the British Isles in a passionate quest to reclaim the ancient heritage of this land. This book started with a curiosity about the ancient sacred sites that lay scattered around his home, close to the Avebury Stone Circle. As he began to explore the rest of the country, he realised how little knowledge most people have of the wonderfully rich pagan heritage of this land. Finding out as much as he could, often searching through antiquarian journals and early travel guides, he also realised that practical directions to and information about many of our sacred ancient sites were simply not available. This inspired Cope to start working on his own guide to ancient Britain. His travels have been tireless and intrepid, taking in the most remote places of the Isles. Many of the sites he writes about have only ever had a cursory mention in other guidebooks, and have often not been physically visited by the authors of those books. But Copefs research has been rigorous, and the book is packed not only with practical directions, academic references, maps and photos, but also with richly evocative fieldnotes and poems written directly on-site. The essays at the beginning of the book take an imaginative leap back to the dawn of civilisation, when our ancestors worshipped the Earth as Mother and erected great stones in her honour, and hills and rivers were seen as aspects of divinity. Cope makes new connections between places, rivers and names in a way that will inspire people into a new awareness of their land. The gazetteer section exceeds all previous guidebooks of sacred Britain in its extraordinary depth and range. The Modern Antiquarian is more than just a book - it is a remarkable fusion of scholarship, practical advice and visionary insight, fully illustrated throughout with a wealth of beautiful images, including photographs taken by the author. Whoever picks up this book will be given a powerful sense of the treasures hidden in our British countryside and the sacred traditions of this land. 8Erudite(his references range from Pope and Blake to D.H. Lawrence and T.S.Eliot), articulate and lucide DAILY TELEGRAPH 8If Copefs forthcoming book on British Prehistoric Sites has as much impact as Krautrocksampler, then expect the pathways to our most far-flung moorland monuments to be worn deep into the trenches.e SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE Julian Cope has written two previous books, Head on and Krautrocksampler.
