Welcome
The main areas of focus on this site are Rail On (discussion list) and Interpreters (tribute CDs). I also might build up the reviews and surveys sections into a "Copinions" area where we can share and organize our opinions about Cope, his output, and related topics.
Introduction
Julian Cope has been my favorite singer ever since I heard "Planet Ride" on a mixed tape back in high school (1988). There was something comfortingly "human" about Cope's voice, and the polished poppy hooks of Saint Julian latched onto my pleasure center and never let go.
I've since become a dedicated Cope fan, semi-religiously collecting all of his albums and books [and vastly enjoying most of them!]. From 1993-1995 I managed The Culture Bunker, an informal Julian Cope mailing list, and am currently running its web-based successor, Rail On!. I've also put together some Julian Cope tribute CDs (full of great covers by Rail On regulars!) and am accepting contributions for a third!
Anyway, enough about me...
