Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

I know what you mean. He's like Nigel Kennedy in some ways, I reckon. Safe and sterile really, but desperate to ingratiate himself wherever possible. Bigging up hip-hop and street culture at the drop of a hat, yet doing very little to back up such apparent inspiration and influence.

I actually bought a Jamie Cullem CD from a charity shop a few months back and really wish I hadn't. I'm looking at it right now. It's called 'Catching Tales' and is to be avoided with as much will and resolve as Hauschka's be sought out. My tastes, though - so probably won't sit well with many folk. Still, as we all (well, most of us) agree this is not the forum for those of closed minds, is it?
