Loving this Cope and co on fine form


I love the tunes. The production doesn't bother me one bit.

Perhaps I am taking it too literally but I am deeply uncomfortable with people advocating the legtimacy of acts of violence that they will never engage in themselves. To me it's the same argument that blew up eighteen months ago over the fire extinguisher incident.

On the other hand his "Guns on the Roof" style G20 self-mythologising is so ridiculously Wolfie Smith that it is hard to take especially seriously. Then again Woflie Smith didn't, as far as I can remember, eulogise the "heroism" of hijackers and the Baader Meinhof gang (funny how one minute it is politically expedient to believe they were murdered and the next that they took their own lives).

Cope is genuinely great when writing about old Rock and old rocks and linking the two through a righteous, wounded shaman routine. I believe *that* projection of Cope the rock artist but I don't believe this one with the obsession with guns and stab vests and such.

That said he can at least lay genuine claim to two specialist subjects and that is one or two more than most people who make pop music records.
