howard the oryx Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The one act I'd love to see at Glasto more than any other is Julian Cope (his best stuff has been in recent years IMO), surely he's perfect for the festival. I think he played years ago, but not since I've been going. Is there any specific reason why he never plays or do the organisers overlook him?

strudders Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Julian did or was supposed to in 87 I think. I was there but never saw or heard him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Funnily enough, I've been listening to a lot of Cope this week (Peggy Suicide/Jehovakill) I was thinking about him at Glastonbury and read somewhere yesterday that he played in 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tevaburger Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 he played acoustic tent in '03. he was dreadful. it was painful. people kept yelling "fookin get on with it!!!" ... was looking fwd to it, but was so bad i left to go get a good spot for REM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Dammit, just checked, he played in 2003, the one year I couldn't make it due to extreme student poverty... Loved Peggy Suicide and Jehovahkill, and most of what he did before, but it's the new stuff where he's really come out into his own methinks. Check out Citizen Cain'd, Dark Orgasm and the new one, Black Sheep which is just awesome. Been listening to it all week, especially the brilliant "All the blowing themselves up motherf*kers (will realise the minute they die that they're suckers)". Should be a serious contender for headliner with that one IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Loving that Black Sheep album, cheers for that. Also listening to a lot of his back catalogue this weekend, I'd forgotten how much I love a lot of his stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usatoglas Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) good lord, i'd forgotten how painful that 2003 effort was in the accoustic tent. people leaving in their droves. however, have seen JC with various bands and brain donor over the years and they would deffo be a bonus if they get to play somewhere Might as well wish for comets on fire to put in an appearance as well.

bunchy Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 ...had a very bizarre moment at Glasto 2003 when Julian Cope reached over me to get a spoon for his tea (or coffee) at a burger stand next to the other stage!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
