japrocksampler

got word yesterday that my copy of japrocksampler -- julian cope's kinda sequel to his earlier krautrocksampler (as one wag on the head heritage forum wondered, can woprocksampler be far behind?) -- shipped from its u.k. publisher. looking forward to spending as much time with thisun as i have with ben watson's frank zappa: the negative dialectics of poodle play and joe carducci's rock and the pop narcotic (two other weighty rock tomes i've spent far too much time perusing).
