review: Great follow up to his self titled superb debut solo record. "Further Complications" is a far rockier and rawer effort. Its spikier, more emotional, more consistent and generally better than "Jarvis". As a whole album this is as good as anything Pulp ever did although "Further Complications" doesn't have the classic singles that Pulp were capable of knocking out at will. Despite the lack of traditional pop singles, it is full of melodies and Cocker's signature oh so clever lyrical style. "Slush", Leftovers", "I Never Said I Was Deep" and "Caucasian Blues" are the stand out tracks.

Pulp - This Is Hardcore

Bespectacled Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker is a crooner from the old school, a frock-sleeved dandy who's not afraid to emote with exaggerated aplomb. And it's been tongue-in-cheek humorous, for most of his career, to hear the Brit turn that talent on sarcastic societal subjects, poking fun wherever he could. Things have changed this time around, though--Cocker hit 33 and began looking inward, for some of his darkest, most soul-baring work yet, all set to an elaborate quasi-cinematic score. As the CD booklet itself says, "It's OK to grow up. Just as long as you don't grow old." Maturity may not be encouraged in show business, but it sounds very appropriate here.

Baton is better

Former Talking Heads man David Byrne is twirling the baton for his next project in order to introduce the world of ‘colour guard’ – the fl ag and rifl e-twirling marching practice showcased at military demonstrations in North America – to theatres. Byrne is orchestrating 10 colour guard teams at Toronto’s Luminato Festival on 22nd & 23rd June, where they will perform routines soundtracked by live artists including St. Vincent, Dev Hynes, tUnE-yArDs, Kelis, Nelly Furtado and many more. Byrne is also following in the footsteps of David Bowie and Jarvis Cocker by curating 2015’s Meltdown festival at the Southbank Centre in London between 17th-28th August. “I plan to invite performers I’ve seen,” says Byrne, “and others I’ve missed… or have dreamed of seeing.”

Fantastic Mr. Fox - Soundtrack

info: The score 4 the movie was composed by Alexandre Desplat. Jarvis Cocker (orst) commented that he wrote [under-g] "three, four" songs 4 the movie, 1 of which was included on the soundtrack. [osts] The soundtrack also contains a selection of songs by The Beach Boys, [osts] The Bobby Fuller Four, Burl Ives, Georges Delerue, [osts] The Rolling Stones, and other artists.

Children Of Men - Soundtracks

Finally -- the definitive version of Joe South's "Hush" (sorry, Kula Shaker). With a cornucopia of genres and artists, this could be the best film soundtrack of 2006. Junior Parker's beatnik take on the Beatles' psychedelic opus "Tomorrow Never Knows" is cooler than sunglasses. And the fact that King Crimson's proggy anthem "Court of the Crimson King" showed up is as awesome as it is weird. John Lennon's rehearsal take of "Bring on the Lucie" is so intimate you'll feel like you were sitting in. And the Kills, the Libertines and Jarvis Cocker keep things fresher than a new pair of kicks.
