Jarvis Cocker is a God

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Fuck man I'll still be at Comic-Con when Cocker is playing the Wiltern. Fucking comic geeks.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I don't think you're allowed to compliment your own YouTube post. It's undignified.

'Cocker admits Pulp, which hasn't performed since 2002, is frequently offered opportunities to reunite. So far, such an endeavor hasn't held much appeal for him, but he says, "I better decide for sure pretty soon, because otherwise, I'll be too old."'

Jarvis did the title track to his solo album on Jimmy Fallon. It was pretty great!

Normally I'd say go Pulp! but his solo material has been stellar.

No way Jose. Cocker should stay solo. As a one time massive Pulp fan, that band died its death after Russell Senior quit along with his violin and scary Ron Mael stare.

That was kind of my point.

I have not been obsessed like this over an album in a very long time! Jarvis doesn't need Pulp.

"I can't act so it's just as well they had a puppet to do it," says Jarvis Cocker of his proper film debut, in Wes Anderson's adaptation of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox. "The puppet gives a much less wooden performance than I would."

Cocker voices Petey, one of the few human characters, his role the result of meeting director Anderson when DJing with Pulp bassist Steve Mackey in Paris at the wrap party for Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. "When he'd written the script, he'd also written the words for this song and he asked if I'd do the music for it. Which was quite nice for me 'cause usually when I get asked to do things it's the other way round - they want me to do the words." Cocker discounts his previous film appearance, as part of band the Wyrd Sisters in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as "more like prancing around on stage".

Early versions of Fantastic Mr Fox cast him as an onscreen narrator but US test audiences were baffled. "I may turn up as a DVD extra in the future," he opines.
