WELCOME...

looking forward to see your posts being a blogger myself :)

Well today music lovers I'm allotting a little time to a name, new to me, that of young Ruth Theodore
who I first heard while driving on the A30 listening to very late night BBC Radio 3, in the always stimulating
company of DJ Max Reinhardt.

False Alarm !

I would just like to say that since the early days of Pulp you have seemed like a really nice chap :) Google my name (cos i don't think i can put links on here) and listen to my music! It'd be great to come and play with you somewhere...someday...somehow. Lots of Love xxx

jarvis sir, I have a memory of seeing you walking a poodle up camberwell grove very late at night.... this would have been late 90's. I lived almost opposite the pub, The Grove. Our place was best described as tatty, almost derelict in fact although next door were a couple who worked in publishing. They were rich and introduced me to the toscani cigar. Very nice. In our basement lived Mrs Smith who must have been 80. I walked out some years later leaving Mrs Smith and a woman behind. The publishers may never have noticed.

anyway, did I dream you? did you ever own a poodle? did you ever walk up Camberwell Grove?

I need to update my files
...and thanks for a great show, let's hope you keep it!

I was so disappointed when Stones Roses cancelled for Glastonbury but decided to go and see what that Pulp were like instead. That turned into maybe the most memorable night of my young life, so thanks Jarvis and please play more Jake Thackray.

... please play more Jake Thackray

Colin,

" When brother Richard was thirteen
He was a Boy Scout, keen and clean.
He got presented to the Queen
And then he went and spoiled it all
When he offered her a Woodbine ... "

From the great Jake's ' Family Tree ' which turned up in the
car this morning on the i-pod shuffle.

More from Jake, absolutely, and from his friend and inspiration,
Georges Brassens, too !

more Jake Thackray! +1

Dear Mister cocker,


I am forever scrawling messages on my hand then forgetting what they mean. For example, I came home from work with 'JC' inked onto my left hand, and could not figure out why I had written it. So I decided it must mean 'Jarvis Cocker' and so have done a drawing for you. So check your email!

I'll very sadly be in work on Sunday, but will ensure my ears catch up soon.




Hurray for 6Music and all who sail in her!


kind regards, Abi

Jarvis Cocker changing the meaning of "act naturally" since 2010.

Dear Jarvis, not so sure what you're supposed to do on here, but I remember especially The Beatles made it good to be alone!
"Equinox"...it might very well be longer days now but here in Dalarna, Sweden was no real signs of "spring" with minus 12C this morning and heavy snow during all of yesterdays Sunday Service!...No wonder I seem to have got a bad cold and feel lousy! : )

Love, Eva

Dear Jarvis,
Please come to Peace & Love Festival in Borlänge, Sweden 28th June - 3rd July! Joan Baez has been here...couldn't go to see her but heard her eventhough we live outside of towncentre where the festival is being held. She even came to Borlänge just to visit a museum in January!( Many interesting and unique museums round this way...)Have never had the chance to see you anywhere before so I would love it if you could come here! You would be most welcome.

Love, Eva
XOXOX

Eva,

Here's a special Joan Baez item for you :

that too !

Hi, Jarvis! Congratulations for your new radio program from Spain. Wow, the interview with John Hurt was great. I love John since I saw him in I Claudius, and I think he is one of the best actors of the UK and surely the best Caligula an actor can do... But you are the worst "Petey" of the "Fantastic Mr Fox" I can imagine ( I´m kidding XDXDXD).;)
We hope to see you in Madrid or in Barcelona very soon with some new songs. You know we adore you!

Dear Jarvis,
As I'm Swedish I thought that I'd add some "Swedish" links. The first link is a Swedish band called "Stonecake". This is a hit they had in the early '90's called "Tuesday Afternoon".(NOT the one by Moody Blues!) I loved it instantly and later found out they were from the same town as me, Borlänge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJNQgJmYgy4 The lead singer Tommy Liljegren is doing a tribute to Alex Chilton over Easter in Borlänge.

Here is also a couple of things with Swedish Freddie Wadling : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtQRa_0k-vQ with Sophie Zelmani

and an older one with "Fleshquartet": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTZADkpgwno

Jarvis,

great music selection! I love your show, and your music since Pulp! would love to see your reunion in Glastonbury though is a long and expensive way to go from Mexico :(

Dear jarvis,
Can you please put out some more videos of yourself? I really like the "Welcome to my world" video...Unfortunately I can't watch the other BBC videos of you..like with you doing "Further Complications" as I am in the "wrong" part of the world...I'm in Sweden. :(

Love Eva
XOXOX

I was just this minute looking for content on Jay Stansfield and spotted this post on your blog by him.

"I would just like to say that since the early days of Pulp you have seemed like a really nice chap :) Google my name (cos i don't think i can put links on here) and listen to my music! It'd be great to come and play with you somewhere...someday...somehow. Lots of Love xxx"

Can only agree 100%, that'd be amazing to hear, being a fan of both talents. Would love to see this happen!

I am a bit behind the time but just in passing re the Peter Blake interview, amused to hear that Stockhousen appears on the Sgt. Pepper album cover. I once went to a Stockhousen concert at the Albert Hall.
Very occasionally and quite casually I drop this fact into a conversation, well no one is ever impressed.
The concert was pretty impressive.
