1 - once at the reading festival i heard a song on the p.a that contained the line' Pristine Christine' & NO it wasn't The Sea Urchins. It sounded like Julian Cope
I suspect it is indeed "Kooky" Julian Cope, cause I've unfortunately heard his "Peggy Suicide" Double album from 1990, and Pristeen is the first song on it, and it's actually quite good too - despite sounding rather spookily like the House of Love - I sometimes think Julian Cope could actually be quite good if he just stopped trying to prove to the world what a tortured and weird genius he is and just get on with making nice songs. "Beatiful Love" is also on this record, and it's really good. Keith. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

This could have been fighting talk Keith...BUT although Julian Cope is a LORD and GENIUS almost all of his albums contain 70 percent brilliance and lovely songs the other 30 percent are self indulgent WANKETY WANK. Peggy Suicide isn't one of them, all of the songs are wonderful. The World Shut Your Mouth album is all excellent too (and doesn't contain the song of the title. And look out for Skellington too!
