More Info:
Julian Cope ?- Autogeddon is the eleventh solo album by Julian Cope, released in 1994 via The Echo Label. According to the album's sleeve notes, written by Cope, it was "inspired by Heathcote Williams' epic poem of the same name and a little incident concerning my pregnant wife (and myself) and £375,000 of yellow Ferrari in St. Martin's Lane, London, England." The album is largely a diatribe against car culture. Heathcote Williams' poem still ranks as the most vigorous sustained flow of invective against car culture to date. It characterizes the motor car's global death toll as, "A humdrum holocaust, the third world war nobody bothered to declare." Cope's railing against car culture on this album is symptomatic of his rejection of numerous aspects of Western consumerism. The photograph, on the album's front cover, is of a now-defunct garage in the hamlet of Druid, near to Corwen, Denbighshire.
