It's over, isn't it. He's given us so much. I Can't even imagine what my teenage years would have been like without Julians music. This love continued all the way 'till about 5 years ago when I didn't really get any of it. In the 80's all I had of Cope was the drivers club, pure joy magazine (thanks Mostyn) the occasional mention in the music press then finally lots of live shows and cracking albums. Megalithic Stone circles, two volumes of incredible biography and the DRUDION have influenced me more than any other artist before or since. Is that enough? Wow.

Agreed and echo everything you say. Life's too short for me to waste time with this.

It does annoy me when people tell you not to post somewhere if you don't like it. A dialog is what a forum should be about, hein? Which is what your problem was with the Now Playing thread to begin with. It's a thread where people actively don't talk to each other. It can be fun not having to put any mental energy into a post, so I can grok what's to enjoy in a thread like that, too. Still, a geezer like Guttersnipe at least generates readable content.

I'm loving Gutterdandy's posts because at least there's some passion there and I'm fascinated with his stance and why he seems to take Cope's comments about Liebling/Pentagram so personally. I hope he continues to post because he's entertaining.

Loved Cope for the last 24 years. I love that he recommends new music all the time even if a lot of the stuff he recommends leaves me cold but then I love the enthusiasm with which he does everything. I don’t know but I imagine that to discover, assimilate, fall in love with and then proselytise such an amount of new music on a monthly basis must be practically a full time job all by itself. How do you get the time to listen to so much and have a life? Then add to that his consistent and regular output of his own music. Which, for my personal taste, has definitely taken an upturn in quality recently. Producing that must take up every spare second left over after the quest for new music. Then add on to that the vast amount of writing and research that he publishes and I genuinely wonder where he gets the time. Then add on to that the chore of writing a novel – a new departure but pretty time consuming I’m sure…. I’m sure he said a good while ago that once his children were up and out he would become less tied down. I guess the house move could be the first step on his new path. I don’t know if this means no more music (I hope not) or just a more rootless life but either way I wish him well and say thanks for everything (except, obviously, cancelling the Belfast show...;)).

I will miss the drudion but its termination, along with the dismantling, to me is just a classic case of pop star re-invention (a la Bowie) and Cope is canny enough to know its overdue. Alas his current black sheep guise more closely resembles the Tin Machine phase than the Thin White Duke. Besides JC can always fall back on his book writing which in recent times has been more consistent than his music & maybe , like bowie, abit of abstinence on the recorded output might do the trick for regaining his musical mojo
