Hospitality Campgrounds Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival 10:30 a.m. I awake in a bath of warm sweat. It seems in my hurry to buy an economy tent the previous day I'd forgotten to get one with some sort of window or breeze system. The forecast once again calls for rain, and yet, judging by the 40-degree Celsius weather in this tent, the...

Jarvis Cocker — Further Complications

in

Cocker hooked up with producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies) for the album and, while the pairing seems a bit incongruous on paper, Albini managed to squeeze out a few new...

Jarvis Cocker — Jarvis

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) December 18, 2007 3:18 pm
Leave it to Jarvis Cocker to move to Paris and not only escape the trappings of the city’s romanticism, but somehow grow even more sardonically bitter. The former Pulp frontman’s solo debut drips with his acerbic wit as he addresses the disillusionment in human existence. He implores girls to find someone who appreciates them in his trademark...

Jarvis Cocker — "Further Complications"

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 6, 2009 3:21 pm
Former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker's video for the title track to Further Complications is like what would happen if a GAP TV or magazine ad turned against its model. He struggles against the background changing on him at whim and trying to crush him while "pages" rumple his face. Further Complications, Cocker's second solo album, is...

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It's really not as good as Jarvis or anything Pulp did, but it's at least good to see Cocker's his same old self-deprecating self. And you've got to hand it to a guy who's able to write a song and call it "Fuckingsong" and not have it be complete rubbish. It's unfortunate (but strangely comforting...

Former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has released his first solo track on the internet. "Running The World" can now be heard on Cocker's MySpace page. The song was written a year ago on the night of the Live 8 concert. "It's in no way critical of Geldof and co. but I remember thinking at the time: 'Where does engaging with these...
