I've heard he's coming to Portugal. It has a nice weather, you know! ;-)

We might have to agree an "Affair To Remember" style virtual meeting place in case we get separated! I found the latest Drudion a little ominous in tone when I first read it but thinking about it after a few days, I guess (as most have pointed out) Cope probably does have his work cut out with the house move and other potential future projets. Thing is, the monthly reviews (which take up the greater portion of the address) are probably a fairly hefty exercise (given that he cancelled his AOTM to concentrate on this in the first place). For a start, we only get to read about the 3 or 4 albums he decided were good enough for a Drudion review. What we don't know is how many albums he had to sift through to get to that point. Also bear in mind that his guidance notes in the Unsung section suggest he also prefers to listen to an album several times to fully subsume its vibe before reviewing. If you add to the fact that it is likely that himself and Dorian will be moving to a much smaller house when they leave Yatesbury, I suppose that ending the Drudion is probably his way of subtly saying, "I don't have the time OR space for this right now so please stop sending me all those records every month - where'm I gonna put 'em all?". I think Head Heritage (the site and release label) will continue as normal in most other respects. EDIT - postscript; Thinking about it, perhaps that's why the Quest list was initiated and the Twitter account (not that this has had much action recently) - in the sense that we'll probably get important updates re gigs and releases through these channels from now on. I remember a time when the most we got in terms of essential updates was a postcard every few months.

I'll miss the Drudions, hopefully JC will still write the occasional missive when he's got the time. There's barely a living to made these days from writing, even if you're a *name* author, so I really hope these book projects are successful commercially... I don't think anybody would begrudge him a bank account-filling Teardrops reunion tour, however that might work, either, although I appreciate that's incredibly unlikely. Might at least pay the mortgage for a year though, eh? And it would be....rather amusing!!

Gutterdandy, I'm sure your grudge plagues you - god knows we all hold them! - but relentlessly spamming this place is getting a bit embarrassing for all of us now. Unplug your computer and go and have a nice cup of tea!

Gotta say that this pavlovian slagging off of JC is a hell of a lot more entertaining than posting interminable, narcissistic posts, about what you happen to have been listening to, for the last month.

To complain about it is cry baby whining because you got nothing else to do.get a mother f'ing life or troll elsewhere.

I happened to pass an opinion on what I felt was a pointless thread. Isn't there already a Soundtrack Of The Week thread where people can post details of what they've been listening to? How do you know that I've got nothing better to do? Are we not allowed to pass an opinion unless you agree with it? And at least I didn't stoop to insults to get my point across. Nice to see that the person most responsible for said thread responded in a far more reasoned and mature manner than you did.
