Hello...how are you? Well, it's been quite a long time. Perhaps there are two or three of you out there who still may read this. It's been a landmark year for me in terms of the gigs I managed to see. Mainly because I kept leaving Winnipeg. In February, I got to see Gang of Four in Toronto, and they were one of the most exciting bands I've ever seen. Unlike The Buzzcocks, who I saw last year, GoF are still clearly passionate and earnest about what they do. Andy Gill was a badass, and Jon King was a maniac. [...]

Frank Yang I spent an inordinate amount of time at this year's SXSW chasing around London's Still Corners , my attempts to catch one of their many sets foiled by things like not noting the difference between AM and PM on set times, showcases falling three hours behind despite having only been running for two hours and the like. I eventually caught them at a day show in an Austin Convention Centre meeting room where the room setup didn't even allow them to perform underneath their projected lightshow, instead playing in the dark while [...]
Frank Yang Right, so where was I? Oh yes, Iceland. Yes, still. With the (attempted) road trips portion of the trip over and done with, the Friday morning was spent doing a general wander around Reykjavik, taking advantage of some actual sunshine and only a little rain. The weather again turned foul in the afternoon but by that point, we were on an Airwaves press bus tour that took us first to the studio headquarters of the Bedroom Community label, then to the Árbæjarsafn open air museum where we were introduced to the [...]
Pulp frontman and Faber Editor at Large , Jarvis Cocker, releases his new lyric book, Mother, Brother , Lover , this week. To commemorate the occasion, and subsequently make a rather nifty promo video, Cocker recently stopped by his secondary school, and the place of Pulp's first-ever live gig, The City School in Sheffield. There, in front of an assembly of students, Cocker shared life lessons and performed a few tunes, including the first song he ever wrote, "Shakespeare Rock", and Pulp's "Babies". He also used the opportunity to return some overdue library books; fortunately, the librarian doesn't [...]

Venerable publishing giant Faber & Faber announced today that Jarvis Cocker will become an "editor-at-large" for the company and that his insight will be sought as Faber & Faber selects titles to publish. From Faber & Faber editor Lee Brackstone: Jarvis felt like a natural fit with the Faber sensibility, both as author and editor, and I'm sure the small list of books he will develop will represent his eccentric and yet popular touch. We now have an excellent portfolio of authors from the pop world and our intention is to develop these relationships and continue [...]
Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker's relationship with publishing company Faber & Faber is extending beyond the release of his new book, Mother, Brother, Lover , which drops next week. They have named him the editor-at-large, which means he'll serve in a broad commissioning role that he hopes will lead to the creation of some great material. This appointment is not unlike when Faber brought on Pete Townshend to serve as editor-at-large in the 1980s. Cocker said the following in a release, "I am proud, and more than a little excited, to be asked to work with Faber in [...]

Julian Casablancas of The Strokes and Jarvis Cocker of Pulp appear on the cover of this week's NME.
This past Saturday, The Strokes played Reading Festival and briefly shared the stage with Pulp's very own Jarvis Cocker , aka "The Jarv" (according to Julian Casablancas). Enjoy their fun rendition of The Cars' "Just What I Needed." The two should actually get in the studio and record something since both of their voices are super sultry. Yes? Def.

Como sabéis, este fin de semana se ha celebrado el festival Reading and Leeds en Reino Unido. Por los escenarios de ambas localidades inglesas han pasado grupos como Muse -que interpretó su Origin Of Symmetry íntegro-, My Chemical Romance, Thirty Seconds To Mars, The National y un larguísimo etcétera. Dos de los platos fuertes en Reading de la noche del sábado fueron The Strokes y Pulp , que tocaban de manera consecutiva y, por tanto, los seguidores de los dos grupos se congregaron en la zona del escenario correspondiente.

My favorite clip from this past weekend's Reading Festival to surface so far. Love Cocker's strutting around the stage. [via The Awl ]
The Reading Festival took place over the weekend, where The Strokes and Jarvis Cocker covered The Cars "Just What I Needed." Great quality on this too, and it seems completely off the cuff. Does Jarvis know the words at the...
