Julian Cope: Black Sheep - The Sunday Times reviewStewart Lee
“Baa baa baa!” sang Julian Cope, 30 years ago, when he was a pin-up front man with the Teardrop Explodes. Now he’s baa-baa-baa-ing again, but as the hero of the acoustic ballad The Black Sheep’s Song. Cope’s new album trims the hairy metal of recent releases, but fans awaiting an unqualified rebirth won’t quite find it. Nonetheless, All the Blowing-Themselves-Up Motherf***ers (Will Realise the Minute They Die That They Were Suckers) is a fun and funky protest song, and the Mellotron-suffused I Can Remember This Life evokes the English pastoral psychedelia the followers of St Julian feared forsworn.

Solid.
PS Your verse may lie, if your chorus is pretty - marvellous.
"Everyone believes the Wiki" - lots of marvellous lines in one song - spoilt we are!
I played some of BS to me dad over the weekend and he liked it a lot I think. Mind you, he was trying to convince me of the merits of the latest Slipknot album, so that gives you an idea of the sort of parent he is...

I was really pleased to go into HMV in The Potteries Center and see lots of copies of Black Sheep for sale there, but was then equally disappointed to realize that no one was buying them obviously. Still, this is Robbie Williams country... say no more.
