As Kidshirt & I were discussing Julian Cope over on his Blog, thought I'd post the Copey 'Sunspots' car I won from Smash Hits around '87. It was just as 'Fried' came out, so I don't think anyone else entered.

Oh, this is wonderful. What a brilliant thing to win. God, I wish I'd kept all my old Smash Hits. I had every single one from Issue 1. It used to be quite esoteric back then. Had to get rid of them due to space. But...now they've finished...probably worth something. Damn!
Oooh Julian Cope. I met him once and he was charming. He was genuinely, genuinely pleased that I'd got his book on 'Krautrock' and wouldn't stop going on about it. Charming man. Sometimes I like to go to work and sit at the piano and bash out that marvellous start to 'Beautiful Love' - smashing! It echoes around the room.
I can't believe you've kept that so beautifully. If it was mine, I would have been racing it around the streets. It's like some shiny piece of joy. Only thing I've ever won is a plastic flip-top bin in a raffle. I mean...a plastic, flip-top bin. What's with that? The only good thing about it was that it had 'Lucy' in big red letters on the outside. I'm not called Lucy, but I thought that was a bit flash.
Plastic flip-top bin...sigh...it could only happen to me...sigh...
I flogged my copy of 'Krautrock' on Ebay for £40. What the hell.
Used to know Copey quite well back in the 80s. Nice chap, into good stuff. Did acid on TOTP. Almost played Yeovil town.
Flip top bin, eh? Nice. Useful.
I talk to Lucy a lot. She's a good friend now. She was a bit shy at first. But now, she's opened up quite a lot.
Boom Boom.
You and your e-bay. You're incorrigible.
Oh where are you...since you've been gone (sounds like a song) my face has disappeared. Look! I've had to get a new one. Come back! Come back! I need more shiny things.
Up to my eyebrows in work & sorting the flat out..estate agents visiting today...
Oooh are you selling your flat? Where you going? Don't leave the country...
Get the stinky BBC to give you some time off. Bugger it, even Frank Bough got time off. (I'm a poet, but don't know it)
yesterday I invited Julian Cope to come to College to speak to the Archaeology students about megaliths or something...bit of luck he'll do acid then as well.... the students could do with a bit of a shake... he hasn't replied yet but i reckon he might be up for it...
told him he'd probably get travel expenses and a crap buffet...
and i've probably got a few krautrock lps he might want...
ah fuck it, he's not coming is he?

Time Off? Not at the moment - it's banned cause of all the new shows. Christ, I'm launching another new show in a couple of weeks.
Aaaand they still won't tell me when I can get redundancy.
Moving back to the country actually. Hopefully in a couple of months.

I'm sending psychic waves to Julian. I bet he'd love to do it.
Awww, moving to the country...you lucky bugger. Soon I'll be the only blogger in town...
