[8] Julian Cope, ‘World Shut Your Mouth’

Seeing as I’ve only got this on 12” (OK, I’ve got it on mp3 now, but for the purposes of the exercise let’s pretend it’s still this morning), we broke with tradition and watched it on YouTube.

  1. Hello. I’m so lazy at linking through to read how Jukebox Juniors 1&2 are getting on. I’ve just read lots of pages and was transported back to 20six days when I did this sort of thing more regularly. Those were the days eh? I hope you and the family are well.
