Julian Cope.

7. You Can’t Hurt Me Anymore.

This sounds defiant and celebratory (though the lyrics in the verses don’t sound fully formed?), and could almost have made a good single.

Day 7. Julian Cope - An Elegant Chaos (1984)

"The look in your eyes
When you gave this to me
Just put me on my guard
In this elegant chaos
I stand to one side"

6. You

Love all versions of this track. The album version has great fuzzbass and sax. Sounds like in a spy movie.

“I…could give you loads of things but you’d only want one of them”

27. Julian Cope - World Shut Your Mouth

Seems to be about a woman who has broken out of anonymity and found fame only to discover that she wants the world to shut up and leave her alone. Julian Cope himself detested pop stardom and the kinds of people that it brought into his orbit.

1. Head Hang Low.

Kate St. John’s oboe steals the show here. Absolutely beautiful track from his debut.
(here’s the Peel Session version - without the intro bit)

Apparently, they knew how good this was. So, Andy said, one take, no overdubs, no fuck ups. It worked.

38. Winter in America - Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson

Off to the other coast of the U.S. for another poet.

I almost picked "We Almost Lost Detroit", but went with this because the lyrical themes (and the Peggy Harris collage on the sleeve) are unfortunately too topical.

Hi Alastair. Basically agree with on trans issue. But you ignore the scientific difference between sex and gender. When you say does this mean no one can change sex, the answer is yes. Medicine. But anyone can live in a different gender, and that’s their human right!

@steverichards.bsky.social please stop going on about trains as the hallmark of a radical Labour government. This is middle class welfare. Talk about benefits, further education and buses.
