Enjoying the Samplers section of "Copendium" the 700-page treatise on music by Julian Cope, and we are into the third one which has twenty four tracks featuring The Move, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Kiss, and a few other familiar (to me) names.
Since the blog became about the books I am reading, this has been the most commented book and no doubt it will 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 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.
The music is "King Of The Rumbling Spires" by Tyrannosaurus Rex
