have you read his 'Head On/Repossessed' biography.
Really wouldn't fancy being one of his friends! - he poo'd in someone's shower and then wrote about it!!! yeuch.
He can write the odd fine tune though!

Big fan here, mostly Teardrop Explodes and first few albums, up to around St Julian. Not the hippy stuff
Saw him at Nottingham's Rescue rooms 4 years ago, was a strange night....five minute talks between songs about rocks and other eco things and then hey presto...ran out of time!

I am a huge fan of the great man too. He truly is an artist on a singular prophetic trip. Do you buy his albums from his website? I thought that Black Sheep was hsi best work in ages. Saw hime live on the Jehovakill tour and it was a simply stunning show. Check this link out: http://bigboxoftapes.blogspot.com/2009/09/julian-cope-assembly-rooms-derby-uk-8th.html

He's so modest with it. Yes Teardrop's no to Peggy Suicide.

Yeah, I've read all his books. Hehe he pushed the poo down the plug hole with his toe. He is a crazy missed up individual but I love him

My fandom runs much deeper JJ
His first few albums are the business though - World Shut Your Mouth and Fried are awesome. Jehovahkill is probably my favourite of all but he has sooooo many cool tunes in his backcatalogue I could go on all day.I too was at the gig at the Rescue Rooms, hehehehe pretty standard fair as I recall - I've seen him many, many, many times

Yep, I'm a regular on the merchandiser. I've got all his albums, and there's quite a few if you include Teardrops, QE2, Brain Donor, Black Sheep, LAMF as well as the solo stuff. The Black Sheep stuff is great. I got the Christoph F album around the time of Floored Genius 4 and that's great too.He gets onto some interestings 'trips', and I confess I don't always get it - but he makes a lot of sense the rest of the time so I just go with it - after all that's Julian for you. It's a cliche but he IS nuts.
I'm gonna check your link out now!

Nice one.
It was absolutely heaving. I had to watch the gig facing side on because i couldn't twist my body round to face the stage (and NO.... not because my beer belly was too large
).We all knew in advance on the tickets that the show ''Must end at 10pm'' as there was a night club starting at immediately after.....
So Cope kept waffling and waffling and eventually a roadie (I think) shouts out ''get on with it there is only 15 minutes left'' and he's like ''What? It's only 9.45'' and then the bouncer at the front confirms it and a few hits (World Shut Your Mouth etc) were quickly belted out.
First saw him at Manchester's 'International 2' 1987 (ish) on the 'St Julian' tour.

he pops up to glasgow frequently and can be found staying in the same apartments as my mate Jill. Stalkers can PM me for the address.

What?! I have NEVER seen him on the streets of Glasgow!! I am gutted!
I would like to add to this thread - his gigs are some of the best I have been too especially when he gets carried away telling stories! In fact I think when he did the book tour for Head On and he got to just talk he seemed his most comfortable, I would love to see him do that more often...
