I'm sure I've said this before, but Jarvis Cocker is one of the few musicians I'd as soon hear talk as sing. If his music career ever goes down the dumper (unlikely), he'll be able to make a packet as an after-dinner speaker.

CultureCritic - that's a site about culture, in case you're a derr-brain - recently conducted a little chat with the great man as part of their "Live at The Morpeth" series. As you'd expect, eloquent storytelling resulted.

Warning: Jarvis has a beard these days. Do not be alarmed.
