Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

The dude Lawrence was talking about was one of the founders of a type of music that definitely doesn't make me smile, Powerviolence. It's an intense electronic onslaught mixed with things like old Nazi recordings and extracts from interviews with serial killers; it usually has provocative, bating themes (abortion, rape, incest, murdah!!!). It has its adherents, and supposedly there's often some kind of irony at play there, but mostly it's just enfeebled, emotionally and physically crippled men trying to get a rise out of people via their music which they could never hope to do in conversation. So, a bit shit and adolescent.
