Julian Cope-The Modern Antiquarian 1/6

[davidspage1]

thanks for uploading this, really interesting...it says steam packet on the back of his coat which is an isle of man ferry company

[notfragile33]

I think I'm almost certain that Julian is descended from a Druid. He has "Druid blood" running through his veins!

[RoofLight00]

The Drude! fuckin' right on. Great subject matter too.

07.44 lol

[maximpetergriffin]

this is great - Cope hates it by all accounts but it is a very good bit of post time team telly....

[oogie11]

He is very charming and intelligent is Mr Cope...but his album, his debut album, is so hard to get hold of

[iansw07]

I dont think it suits what Julian Cope is saying about the romans - for him to be driving a car down a motorway - a road probably redesigned over a roman road... but of course Cope is dude, all good.

[KarmicAnarchist]

@iansw07 About those roads. When the Romans got here, those long straight tracks were already here. The Romans just hardpacked graduated stone over the surface, to march Armies up and down more easily. Look at all the pre Roman sites aligned on them. .

[iansw07]

Haha - I like it how Julian Cope is talking about the Romans - whilst driving down one of their style straight roads - whats that all about? Why the interview in the car?

[faunoram]

the drude himself !!

fuckin cool!!

tthanks!

Beautifully shot accompaniment to the Modern Antiquarian. An interesting & eloquent speaker, clearly who has a great love for his subject. Thje book is a fantastic gazetteer, even if it the poetry is not to my taste & bangs on about the goddess far too much. Could benefit from a bit more archaeological,anthropoligical information that just thoughts & feelings. You miss the obvious that way & some of those interpretations just arent concurrant with what was happening in the landscape.

[adambastard]

i rememeber that the BBC first scheduled this on glastonbury weekend. so everyone missed it. nice one beeb.

"this is like a gateway, it's a portal, this is just the airlock before you go from this reality WHOOOM!" says speccy bloke

No mate, it's just a fucking hole in the ground

[thisrainykitten]

Well, it's all about how you look at it, really.

[melwynau]

Thanks so much. Julian is a god. He'd probably think me a dill for saying that :)

[BigAlDavies]

Couldn't BBC4 have a Cope night and reshow this and show his many musical appearances on TV, and do another show for the Stones abroad? We need a Copey night soon!

And yes 055697 good point!

[055697]

Thanks for posting this. Nice to see rock star who has a genuine interest in something other than partying and inflating their egos by getting involved in 'charidee'.

[slappedcheek]

archdrude.............praise him

[thisrainykitten]

He is to be praised.

He's awesome.

[444exodus]

Hello :)

wow huh LOL . chck out my profile for more vids. yL

[adelamere1]

one of the best bits of telly ever - forward thinking mofo indeed - hilarious ! the mother in law AND the mellotron !!!!!

[dx7tnt]

from the look of it i'd think julian's coat is likely to say "Royal Mail" rather than rock star..

[HumGuitar]

I think it says "L.L. Bean" on the back of Julian's coat.

[Saxondalerocks]

You know what? I think you could be right!

[HumGuitar]

Actually I was just joking, I have no idea what it says. I'd consider Julian the coolest rock star in the world if it really was an LL Bean jacket!

[munph70]

Thanks for posting this, I remember watching it on BBC2 one Saturday night about 10 years ago. A wonderful and fascinating programme presented by a truly forward thinking mofo.

[julesgreaves]

ive liked and been a good fan ov jules cope since reward an treason.what good music hes turned out, for me hes been tops.he knows his shit about his sites, ive been to a few and they are inspiring.this vid is well good.

[state20]

Is this coming on the TV?Or where can we get it?

I think thats just something like 'DOWHIGH' or 'NATIONAL RAIL' on the back of his coat by the way.The big tramp.

[wobbleon1]

Great stuff! I had this on VHS, but then lost it! Why hasn't the Beeb released this officially?

[Moc1984]

Great stuff. Didn't know this existed, thanks for sharing! The Modern Antiquarian is an excellent book.

[glitterglue66]

Nice to see this again. Thanks for putting it here.
