Four Hundred pages through "Copendium" the 700-page treatise on music by Julian Cope, and and am well into the nineties now. I've included a video from The Tight Bros From Way Back When and Australian band I have never heard of.
It looks like the Facebook problem was the meta redirect to Amazon, but you can just follow the link and if you hang around it will take you to Vocal.
Since the blog became about the books I am reading, this has been the most commented book, and it is now more than halfway through but won't be finished this month.
Cope's writing at times goes absolutely but entertainingly mad by describing one band by roping in three, four or five others.
"It's Donovan being Nick Drake singing 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' down a storm drain, as recorded as an out-take from the more outré moments on Nico's Chelsea Girls. Got me?"
The book is printed on very thick paper so it is a fairly hefty tome.
I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est La Vie.
