Need Some Identification?

A very happy birthday to Julian Cope, the very sane, born 21st October 1957.

 

The post title and suffixing comment above are lifted from a line in 1991 song Hanging Out & Hung Up On The Line. Which seemed as good as any to post a clip of that (saved to the end), along with some other videos, TV and live performances. 

The Greatness And Perfection Of Love (Remixed Version) (1984) 

I Gotta Walk (Live On Top Of The Pops) (1994)

Charlotte Anne (Album Version) (1988)

I Come From Another Planet, Baby (ft. Zaat) (1996)

Hanging Out & Hung Up On The Line (Live) (1991)

And never one to take it easy, Julian's just released a new album, a follow up to 2023's Robin Hood, titled Friar Tuck. 

 

It's winging it's way to me via Royal Mail as I write this post, so expect further commentary soon. But with a dozen songs and titles such as You Gotta Keep Your Halfwits About You, Four Jehovahs In A Volvo Estate, Done Myself A Mischief and Will Sergeant's Blues, you can't go wrong...
