Some kids threw rotten fruit at me last week. As a clown, that's better than a standing ovation. That's like throwing spinach at Popeye.

THREAD. How The Singer Julian Cope Licked My Entire Face And Hypnotised Me Into An Occult Life On The Margins Of Society

I have been wanting to tell this true story - arguably the central one of my life - for many years.

You will find it in the alt text to these very real documentary photographs.

Not even in the gutter and already it's squelchy
This set includes perhaps the filthiest track I've ever dropped as a dj. Pure and absolute gutter.
My show The Kwoo Void is on 6pm local time over at listen.dublindigitalradio.com/home ! (just under an hour from now). Had a lot of fun mixing this one up!

Someone I used to know posted some AI generated images a while back and now they're posting some of their writing, and I'm realising I don't trust that that isn't AI either. Once the stink is on you I don't think it'll come off

People who support AI should be forced to do genuinely dangerous tasks, bomb disposal, fire fighting, lion taming, without training and relying entirely on the advice of their roboscab.

Suffocatingly sore memory at the forefront of the lobe at the minute. Reminding myself that I'm really, really lucky.

That was some squeeze! (Also I think Hunt Emerson drew this?! Next year's festival poster? 👀)

The wonderful Kilimanjaro is 45 years old today. (Album, not mountain. Mountain is apparently 2.5 million years old).

Wondering how do teachers not go mad with power... (ofc many do, but plenty don't)
Like, I tell 20 people to read a thing, they actually do, and then they have to have the chats with me about it?!

ooo wooOoooOoo this feels illegal. (It's actually really lovely but I sorta feel like the pied piper)

yes YES
The Lovely Lady destroyed her cage
Of logic
The Lovely Lady is FREE
I've just been watching the 1983 Ian Richardson Sign of Four and David Healy as Watson saying "You can't apply logic to a lovely lady" feels meme-worthy. The way he's smiling while saying it made me laugh so much.

Watching a bit of Manchán Magan's No Béarla, and it's a delight (even before episode two features Julian Cope's World Shut Your Mouth). Really appreciating his gentle but brilliant sense of mischief.
What a guy. Go raibh deis dé ar a hanam.
