Well I always though Julian was a bit you know... mad and it sorta fitted in well. I saw his one man show at the Edinburgh Fringe many years back when he appeared in a sort of jesters outfit and a wireless guitar and did a shit hot set from Skelington and old Teardrop stuff. I know at least one academic at Edinburgh University who was very impressed with the books and the research.
Fave tracks from Teardrop Tiny Children, every single track from the first album.
Solo stuff The Fried album was a classic as was Skelington.
