	Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage \| Merchandiser
		Julian Cope, visionary rock musician and musicologist, hip archaeologist and one-time frontman of The Teardrop Explodes, brings you JAPROCKSAMPLER.
		On this, Julian Cope’s first new album for 18 months, he addresses such currently controversial issues as religion, misogyny and homophobia, corporate greed and the destruction of Mother Earth.
		Cope delivers his message via 13 insidiously melodic post-punk songs in the JEHOVAHKILL style, many sparsely orchestrated with Mellotron, wah-wah guitars, orchestral percussion and even lush harmonies.

		Julian Cope may well be the only antiquarian researcher to have appeared on Top of the Pops while stoned on acid.
		Cope may follow a long and honourable line of 18th- and 19th-century amateur antiquarians who meticulously recorded ancient sites and tried to interpret pre-history, but his take is equally informed by rock 'n' roll, and his experience of wildness and shamanism.
		Cope, an evironmentalist, is no stranger to protest, notably at the Newbury bypass, where he donned the white hats of the roadbuilders and started ordering around the security guards.

	The Modern Antiquarian - Julian Cope
		Julian Cope might not strike one as the most serious or level-headed of people.
		Cope varies between narrative (of his visits) and semi-scholarly studies, and he manages to make it all quite interesting.
		Cope impresses with his familiarity (well, he did visit all the sites) and the connections he is able to make.

	Review: Julian Cope, Interpreter -Joe Silva (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Cope's doings and perceptions is akin to pursuing an anxious sidewinder across a paisley desert.
		Julian's notions of who and why he is seem to shift with a cosmic irregularity that would generally warrant a prescription of some sort.
		Julian joined gangs of U.K. tree-sitters in their scary efforts to block roads from being constructed through large stands of innocent trees in Newbury.

	Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage \| Story of the Drude \| Julian Cope Biography
		Cope is nearly immediately disappointed and this remains his least favourite of his LPs.
		Lyrically portentous, the music often reflects Cope's passion for the Krautrock he was so obsessed with in the early seventies, except for an entirely inappropriate speed metal solo by new friend Doggen, himself temporarily estranged from his Californian wife and hanging out back in Blighty.
		Julian drives up and down the M4 to his publishers in London to ensure that the design of the book is perfect.

	Repossessed - Julian Cope
		Fortunately, Cope doesn't take this or many of his other unusual acts too seriously -- whether slashing his stomach to a stunned (and then nauseated) Japanese crowd or obsessing about toy cars or hiding in his house, the furniture piled up against the front door.
		Cope is a huge success in Japan (though it should be remembered that this is the country that embraced Alyssa Milano as a pop star...).
		Cope continues to be paranoid and, occasionally, reckless, but he begins to realize, after one (mis)adventure too many that "it made a funny story, but it's no way to live your life."

	TrouserPress.com :: Julian Cope
		There are essentially three phases to the long and twisted career of Julian Cope, the man who merged Iggy Pop and Syd Barrett with his own warped psychedelic punk/pop sensibility.
		Cope tried to repeat the formula of Peggy Suicide on his next two concept efforts, which veer a bit closer to trippy wankery.
		Cope did a handful of gigs to support the album —; he generally shied away from the stage throughout the '90s — but hopes for a full-blown tour were short-lived.

	Amazon.com: Peggy Suicide: Music: Julian Cope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Julian Cope really is a very erratic performer: some of his albums play like St. Augustine on acid - sweet, divine, censorious, libidinous and completely mad...check out "World Shut Your Mouth" for a taste of what I mean.
		The pattern holds here but it is clear that Cope has absorbed the lessons of the rather unhappy (and apprently somewhat corporate-coerced) "My Nation Underground" and produced a set of songs that are political, dramatic, hugely listenable and full of great hooks.
		Julian Cope is one of those insufferable leftist political types, who uses this album's title "Peggy Suicide" to refer to the destruction of Mother Earth.

	The S.P.A.C.E.R.O.C.K.E.R.’s Guide to Julian Cope
		For those who have even heard of him, Julian Cope is not normally a musician you think of when you think of space rock.
		After all, Cope made his biggest marks in the post punk era of the early 80’s with The Teardrop Explodes, and as an oddball alt-rocker in the late 80’s with his huge FM radio hit World Shut Your Mouth.
		On the album cover, it proclaims “Julian Cope in Concert” and “20 Years of Rock ‘n Roll Stories” but this is neither a live album, nor a retrospective of Cope's career.

	Rolling Stone : Julian Cope: Peggy Suicide : Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		Julian Cope is, as the English say, barking mad.
		The title is Cope's code name for Mother Earth, except there are no wistful visions of unspoiled rain forests and amber waves of grain.
		Cope crawls through the ruin wrought by, among other things, pollution, AIDS, the ruling Tory party, acid rain and acid damage, skewering villains as he goes along.

	Trav's Julian Cope Site - Reviews
		Cope says he had very little input, and it's been mostly dismissed.
		The first of Cope's experimental albums, this is a very loose collection of acoustic ditties recorded in 2 days.
		Although its tone is nostalgic, desolate, and paranoid, it paints Cope as a much more "human" figure, someone to whom we (or at least I) can relate.

	How I "met" Julian Cope's music...
		The first time that I heard a Julian Cope song, it was being played as a cover.
		This album proved to be my key to appreciating the rest of the world of Julian Cope, even if sometimes I got lost on the way.
		Seeing Cope on the cover crouched on the ground with a turtle shell on his back pushing that toy truck The keyboard made sense finally, and I had ignored the monologue in the middle of the song before, where now it was perfect freakout.

		Put it this way, when you become a father, you realize what your own father was like and you realize why your own father when you were 13 was still making crap jokes that he expected you to laugh at.
		Cope loves his new lot in life, a far cry away the maddening influences of the music industry.
		Clearly, Cope is his own man, but he credits Dorian for turning his life around when they first met in 1981.

	INTERVIEW
		It's the near manic and sonically fragmented saga of Julian behind the wheel "pissed off on the motorways of Britain." The tracks careen between the extremes of brisk toe-tappers and long rambling semi-instumental passages.
		With Julian's travelling around gathering material for his tour guide, he's witnessed and felt the impact of having ancient territories violated in the name of having a snappier route to the city or the seashore.
		It must all seem like psychobabble to some, but to Julian these are the seeds of our cultural indifference and out eventual undoing where people spend so much time bustling through the now just to arrive at next, there is no sense of the future.

		Cope's ultimate brilliance is that he is able take concepts such as this and render them in a manner that is hard to take offense at.
		Cope & long-time collaborator Donald Ross Skinner with drummer/saxophinist Rooster Cosby are the band for this album, which advanced Cope's autogeddon/megalithic/enviromental concerns & comes with a booklet leading towards Cope's books The Modern Antiquarian and The Megalithic European: stone-circles, pre-Christ cross, quotes from forward-thinking drudes like William Blake & Philip K Dick...
		Cope is acoustic here (the beginning of Soul Desert, the humourous Julian H Cope) - but the album flows between these points.

	Clicks and Klangs - Brain Donor and LAMF - two new Julian Cope albums
		Cope has clearly wanted to put some distance between himself and the seemingly (and fortunately) never-ending Krautrock revival.
		After rediscovering and revelling in the stuff in the early 1990s, convincing the rest of the world to obsess over this glorious music and then clearly realising that he was becoming more closely associated with other people’s music than his own, he’s tended recently to talk about something superficially far less far-out - 70s metal.
		Clearly Cope and Thighpaulsandra (present on both LAMF and Brain Donor) have sussed out exactly where they went so wrong on their Queen Elizabeth albums and have here produced two albums of absolutely essential weirdness with the greatest guitar sounds and electronic brain-buzzes I’ve ever heard.

		In the process, Cope introduces imaginative etymosophies [sic] and some wonderful chapter headings, such as "Why the Romans were so Heavy", and "Ur Indoors", while indulging his distaste for cities and his love of Roman-bashing, for their corruption of collective folk memory, and the straightness of their roads.
		Julian Cope is a great writer, and were in not for this book I would never have visited Castlerigg - which has to be the best stone circle in the UK.....A real killer of a book!
		Cope lists many sites I would never have known about let alone have visited were it not for The Modern Antiquarian.

	Julian Cope - "An Audience With The Cope 2000" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25)
		On the album cover, it proclaims "Julian Cope in Concert" and "20 Years of Rock 'n Roll Stories" but unless the audience sounds are completely obliterated from the mix, this is neither a live album, nor a retrospective of Cope's career.
		Well, what it is is a pretty good album of new material, expressing Cope's more eccentric side, indulging in both his love of space rock and Krautrock.
		Not sure what Julian is suggesting with the lyrics on this one, as they are not printed in the liner notes with the album's other lyrics, but it sounds a little strange to me.

		After that we got tracks from various stages of Cope's career, including the very early Read It In Books to a couple of tracks from last year's rather good Rome Wasn't Burnt In A Day, with The-Way-Luv-Is already sounding like something of a Cope classic.
		Holy McGrail and beloved Korgi joined Cope mid-set for excellent versions of I'm Your Daddy (from 20 Mothers) and - undoubtedly one of the highlights of the night for me - the little known Little Donkey, with its T.Rex Jewel-like riff, from the Skellington LP.
		And, although some Velvet-like strumming had replaced the keyboard and cor anglais, to hear Cope singing those "All is lost" lines was still a thing of immense beauty.

	BookkooB : The Modern Antiquarian - Julian Cope : Compare Book Prices
		Splendidly eccentric, impossible not to enjoy, and as much a map of the errant genius of Cope as the land with which he so passionately communes.
		Julian visited every site in the book and took most of the excellent photographs (unlike the famous archaeologist who wrote a whole paper on the Clava Cairns in Scotland without once leaving his office).
		The Modern Antiquarian is partly Julian's very personal take on ancient Britain and how the church and those pesky Romans ballsed it all up for us and partly a gazetteer of ancient sites around Britain, complete with directions, maps, idle jottings and some marvellous photographs.
