Been giving Jarvis Cocker's album some serious ear-room of late. It's been on the iPod for a while and I've grown to like songs individually without thinking of them as a unit - perhaps indicative of our future, but there you go. Then I caught him (and band) on a Sky Arts programme called From the Basement - a bit like Mo4's Live At Abbey Road (which is back this weekend, I note) but without interviews and with the acts mixed up. So a bit like TOTP I suppose but without the teenagers and the Hairy Cornflake.

Anyway, I've digressed. I watched him on that and realised it's a cracking album. I also discovered there's a hidden track, a rollicking number he did on the show, called C*nts Are Still Running The World. Good lad, Jarv.

He wants to do whatever common people do, which is fine by me.

've given the Karl Pilkington podcasts another runout, still funny, but Gervais is a c*nt.

Wasn't that his posh tottie? As I recall, he had little option.

It was indeed. Bless that Greek student, she inspired the highpoint of Britpop (and I'm not one of those who automatically regards that as damning with faint praise).

Kid Rock - All Summer Long

Excellent tune for this lovely weather!

Without googling it, which two songs is it a combination of?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. DSB! i had high hopes! Jarvis Cockend is the most self serving, self obsessed, self loving thing in British music. I saw him on Joolsy's programme, and his whole performance screamed 'look at me, look at me, forget the band and the music, they are unimportant, look at me.' My friend has met him, and this is a transcript of the conversation Friend: I'm sorry to bother you, i know you must get this a lot, but year 2000 is one of my favourite songs i th.... Jarvis Cockend: 'Whatever'. He loves himself far too much. IMO Pulp were a very good band made odious by that hateful little sh*t. Again IMO the third best band out of three for title of Britpop giants. 1.Oasis (say what you want but were consistently good and defined a generation) 2. Blur (again say what you want but made some very good music, and experimented a great deal and made some very interesting records that are not as widely acknowledged as they should be IMO) 3.Pulp (again a decent bad, but one far to dominated by a man who was far too self involved to be likeable)

You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but it does seem tied in to the artist's personality rather than work. Personally I'd much rather watch a Jarvis putting on a show than a Liam stood stock-still while sneering at the paying punters. Does Mick Jagger's grandstanding mean he thinks he's better than the band? How about Roger Daltrey's mic-swinging, or Freddie Mercury's general demeanour? You must also remember that, backing band or no, Jarvis is now a solo artist, unlike any of the four other singers named above.

Not much Freddie Mercury can do to influence that, DSB!

Its a fair point but i don't mean so much his stage prescence (although it's not my bag, but as you say, that's taste) its the way he comes across off stage, he is another of those people who seem to think they are the best ever musician bar none and i really don't like it. He's by no means the only one guilty off it though. Musically he is a talented bloke, but IMO not as talented as Noel Gallagher, or Damon Alburn, or maybe even Graham Coxon. Again just opinion. The thing that grates me is his attitude when my friend politely wanted to have a word. Now don't get me wrong he is entitled to his privacy, and even an off day but my friend was aggressive or particularly intrusive. I have also walked past Liam Gallagher on TCR, and for all his bad reputation, he was lovely (although i think slightly worse for wear!!). Now i am sure there are people who have been treated poorly by Liam, and well by Jarvis, it's just my experiences and tales from friends make him come across as a complete tw*t. As you say however, tis all opinion.

...which is what a decent forum's all about

If anybody's interested, you couldn't get within 100 yards of the tent Glasvegas have just been playing in...

Delays new album "everythings the rush".

How the hell did this come out last month without me knowing? Such little fanfare is a disgrace for such a BRILLIANT album!

Dave Sutton's barnet · Post by **Dave Sutton's barnet** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 6:48 pm

Just finishing off some work then I'm off to see We Are Scientists on the Other Stage - hadn't heard of them till last week but I'll have a bit of that while I'm in the area. Perhaps Sinead O'Connor at half nine then maybe some bloke called Frank Ferdinand after that, if I can get near the tent. And after that, well by that point I won't be able to see the end of my arms so it won't really matter...

Was it a two-manner?

I saw them on LWJH and concluded there and then that Glasvegas are complete and utter shite!

Down to personal opinion of course but I don't think I've ever seen a weaker Glastonbury line up as this years.

Will probably tune in for a bit after the tennis but bloody hell it looks dull!

I quite agree. Think the attendance was helped by the fact that there was only one other stage open and it was tipping down with rain.

Ypu really must get your Bolton-ism right DSB. It's "tippling down with rain", and don't forget "spitting", for when it starts.

Really, TD? I've only ever heard tipping. Anyways, I'm off out into the breach. Will report back...
