All Jarvis, all the time



Touted as the next John Peel (until he gets bored), Jarvis Cocker has a new radio show Sundays on BBC 6. Elvis, Shirley Bassey, Judy Nylon, and, of course, Sir John Betjeman. Available via BBC i-player here.

Nice! Thanks, Andy.

Seems like a good gig for him.

Listened to it today at work. Not bad at all -- obvious similaritis in format to the Bob Dylan show a little while back.

Agreed, Dave. Interesting choice of tunes, and I liked the sprinkling of short stories.

I thought the listener comment about the dry-mouth smacking was hilarious. That was bugging me, too ...

Sweet, thanks!

And serious cotton mouth ...
