Thanks to the glory of iPod I've recently experienced visceral flashbacks to the 90s, courtesy of Pulp's 'Different Class'. An onlist offhand comment mentioned the possibility of 'seeing Jarvis' at an upcoming summer festival. 'Hmm,' I wonder, 'do they mean Jarvis Cocker?' And so I google and lo and behold the man has emerged from his millenial funk and produced a solo album. And quite good it seems too, from the couple of tracks I've heard.
'What next?' I hear my hipster muso friends think. 'Will she discover the wheel?'
Well, almost. I discovered Jarvcast, a podcast that has managed to score a hat trick with me through:
1) The seductively flat Sheffield tones of Jarvis Cocker
2) reading me stories
3) by Richard Brautingan!
Yes! I'm lying in bed and Jarvis Cocker in reading from The Tokyo Montana Express, one of my favoutite books of all time. Truly, the man can do no wrong.

Glad to see you're back online!! I too have yet to invent the wheel musically.
Never mind. I am much more advanced when it comes to CanLit...we all have our specialisms, as they say.
i'm really liking the new Jarvis Cocker (the actual on his all alone) - i was never really a pulp fan. He is playing at a festival i intend to attend. end of summer looking good already.
