Celebrating it’s 25th anniversary this year and inspired by Heathcote Williams’ poem of the same name, \u003ci\u003eAutogeddon\u003c\/i\u003e is largely a diatribe against car culture. As recounted by Julian in the American Records biography: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“My wife and I were walking along near Covent Garden. Just as we were crossing the street, out of the corner of my eye I saw this yellow Ferrari Testarossa. They only make three of these a year in yellow – it’s like – ‘not only have I got money, but I’ve got yellow money so I need to flaunt it. And it went past – ZOOM – and just missed my wife. I thought, ‘that was really close, what’s that about? Tense asshole with all that money.’ I suddenly realized that he’d gone down a one-way street, so I started walking. I didn’t know what I was going to do, I just thought I’d go check this guy out and see what his problem was.I came round the corner and, parked outside this sandwich shop was the yellow Ferrari. So I just stood in front of it with my legs against it and started rocking it. Then I walked back 50 yards or so to this building site and heaved up this big bag of industrial rubble, and jerked it very, very slowly along the street. I finally got it in front of the Ferrari and, well I didn’t throw the bag, I just tossed the rubble all over the car, and it fell almost slow motion all over the front of this car. I thought, ‘fuckin’ hell, what have I done?’ All these people were looking at me and I just legged it. That was really the start.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutogeddon concludes a trilogy of started by \u003ci\u003ePeggy Suicide\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJehovahkill,\u003c\/i\u003e it showcases Cope’s continuing focus on heathen religious practices and ancient monuments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2CD - Two-disc CD Book edition.
