Interpreter (album)
''Interpreter'' is the thirteenth solo studio album, and twentieth album overall by English rock musician Julian Cope, released by Echo Records in October 1996. Particularly inspired by Cope's involvement with the Newbury bypass protest, the record features socially and environmentally-concerned lyrics. The musician worked with numerous guest musicians, including substantial contributions from Thighpaulsandra, resulting in a sprawling album that extends the pop style of '' 20 Mothers'' (1995) while incorporating styles of glam pop, space rock, orchestral pop, with string arrangements and electronic overtones. The record is split into two separate parts, "Phase 1" and "Phase 2". Exemplifying Cope's Neolithic interests, ''Interpreter'' was packaged with a fold-out "mythological mind map" depicting sites on the Marlborough Downs, and depicts the Cairnholy standing stones in Scotland on its cover. The album was not a commercial success, reaching number 39 on the UK Albums Chart, b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
World Shut Your Mouth (album)
''World Shut Your Mouth'' is the debut solo album by Julian Cope. Background ''World Shut Your Mouth'' was written during Cope's 1983 retreat to the village of Drayton Bassett (close to his childhood home of Tamworth, Staffordshire, Tamworth), following the breakup of Cope's former band The Teardrop Explodes. Two of the tracks, "Metranil Vavin" and "Pussyface", had in fact been originally intended for The Teardrop Explodes (and different versions of each appear on the belated 1990 release of the band's scrapped third album, ''Everybody Wants to Shag... The Teardrop Explodes''). Although ''World Shut Your Mouth'' generally retained the uptempo pop drive of The Teardrop Explodes, it was also an introspective and surreal work. Cope had spent a period in seclusion in which he recovered from the strain of the final year of the Teardrops and from his LSD excesses of the times. During this period, he had also amassed a huge collection of vintage toys. His eccentric behaviour both du ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sozzled
Alcohol intoxication, also known as alcohol poisoning, commonly described as drunkenness or inebriation, is the negative behavior and physical effects caused by a recent consumption of alcohol. In addition to the toxicity of ethanol, the main psychoactive component of alcoholic beverages, other physiological symptoms may arise from the activity of acetaldehyde, a metabolite of alcohol. These effects may not arise until hours after ingestion and may contribute to the condition colloquially known as a hangover. Symptoms of intoxication at lower doses may include mild sedation and poor coordination. At higher doses, there may be slurred speech, trouble walking, and vomiting. Extreme doses may result in a respiratory depression, coma, or death. Complications may include seizures, aspiration pneumonia, injuries including suicide, and hypoglycemia, low blood sugar. Alcohol intoxication can lead to alcohol-related crime with perpetrators more likely to be intoxicated than victims. Al ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
