Odd members out

See that first line on his CV? Yes, he was in the Teardrop Explodes.

So, when I was 11 I became best friends with his younger brother who lorded it over everyone with his cool rock star brother (he had a gatefold sleeve of 'Lexicon Of Love' where his brother was part of the orchestra on the inside pic). But, hey the Teardrop Fucking Explodes eh? You've got every right to lord it over everyone if your hip brother was Julian Cope's keyboard player, right?

Scroll forward to when Head On/Repossessed was published, and I looked him up in the index. There was only one page number so I flicked to it, and found out that he'd been foisted on the band by their management so they could tour. Basically he was a really straight bloke, completely at odds with the other members and who everybody (Cope in particular) hated, couldn't stand the sight of, and sacked the first opportunity they got...

Was his younger brother called Jan?

No. He was an MC.

Jockice's claim that Sailor were better than Roxy Music reminded me that Sailor qualify for this thread.

Three of them look so similar that I thought that it was camera trickery, which makes the second keyboard player look like the odd one out.

I just looked at this at the exact second the BBC1 announcer said the word 'parrot.'

How strange.
