I Got Can For My Birthday, Nietzsche For Christmas

Birthday wishes to Julian Cope, celebrating his 68th year today on this ball of mud, orbiting a mass of incandescent gas.

Typically, ICT issues (or possibly "The Man") have threatened my efforts to create and post today's doff of the cap - or should that be tug of the hood? - to the great man, so I've run out of time to write much.
 
However, I have created a new, 46 minute Dubhed selection, containing Cope compositions that haven't previously featured in one of the many, many compilations that I've posted here. At least, I'm 99.9% sure of it!
 
Here's to you, M'Lud!

2) Ain't No Gettin' Round Gettin' Round (1994)
3) The Great White Hoax (1988)
4) I Got With God (2007)
5) Zoroaster (2005)
6) I Want To Talk About Stone Circles (2023)
7) Mik Mak Mok (Single Version) (1984)
8) A Child Is Born In Cerrid-Y-Drudion (2007)
9) Too Freud To Rock 'n' Roll Too Jung To Die (2024)
10) Rachael Built A Steamboat: The Teardrop Explodes (1981)
11) Battle For The Trees (1996)

I missed Julian's birthday in 2021 (sacrilege!), but here's a link to my previous annual tributes to the Arch Drude.
