Press Release
July 1st, 10:30-11:30 , Radio 2

Jarvis Cocker takes listeners on an intimate tour of Sheffield in this evocative Musical Map, creating a soundtrack of music to drive his memories, feelings and observations about his home town.

 

"Sheffield's my city, it's where I grew up, and although I've moved away for now, I'd like to try and show you around. Sorry if we get lost, it changes every time I come here," he says.

 

Jarvis recalls his childhood, listening just to conversations about love and disappointment. He introduces the music of Sheffield legends including Joe Cocker, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League and Artery, and remembers how the city came to life with music in the post-punk era.

 

He thinks aloud about growing up in a city that was healing its wounds after big industry moved out, and of the confusion of regeneration the mistakes, the Student Games, the National Centre for Popular Music, the "hole on the ground" shopping wasteland and the housing estates.

 

Presenter/Jarvis Cocker, Producer/Kate Bland

Jayenkai, I'd like to add to the people who are pleased to hear from you. Also, I remember it as 'hole in the road' too. I'm not sure if it's Mark's book or a conversation I had with Alex, but it came up somewhere!

I'm alive!

Um, don't blame me, I just copy+pasted the BBC's crap.

I was waiting for the Doctor Who blurb to appear (*cough saddo cough*) and noticed Jarvis at the corner of the site.. Thought I should pop over and claim my prize.
What do I win!!


Musical tastes may come and go, but Pulp will always be there!
Currently (and probably "still" from the last you heard of me!) I'm listening to lots and lots of Japanese music. You'll probably all think I'm mad, but it helps that when I'm writing a game, my mind isn't constantly typing accidental song lyrics! So, lyrics I can't make head-nor-tails of... That'll do me!
Plus they have a pretty varied selection over there, which is more than I can say about current British charts..
All kinda "meh" right now...

Still, I picked up "Jam Sessions" for the DS, and I'm having fun playing through a bunch of old Pulp songs with it! Stick the chords into the dpad directions, hold the dpad, strum the string, yeay! Pulp!!
It's silly, but it's fun!


Meantime, I'm running Socoder.net
You can check it out, but it's all about making games, so you'll probably see all the chaotic text everywhere, freak out, and run a mile!

Jayenkai.Socoder.net is my own personal site, with a few fun little games on it. Some for Windows, some for DS, and even a couple of Phone based things..
Nothing Pulp'y though!!  Sorry folks!

Um..
So, yeah.. If you don't hear from me for another 6 months, that's where I am ;)

I leave you with this...

2233-2330

Listen again http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/musicclub/doc_musicalmapofsheffield.shtml

In his evocative musical map, Jarvis creates a soundtrack that drives his memories, feelings and observations about his home town.

Growing up in a city that was still reeling from the loss of big industry, Jarvis recalls his childhood, surrounded by family, and listening to conversations about love and disappointment.

Along the way, he introduces the music of Sheffield legends, including Joe Cocker, Cabaret Voltaire, The Human League and Artery.

It's quite interesting, almost autobiographical. Talks a lot about growing up. Mentions Stanhope Road (and someone who went to live there), Magna, exerpts of Sheffield Sex City/Babies/Glory Days, his transformation from Sheffield toff to salt of the earth when he moved to London. Like an extended version of the Wickerman or Dick Diving..... (don't take that last comment too seriously!)

Still listening to it. Been popping in and out of it but it should have loaded onto baritalia2005/baritalia2006

Yeah, i loved all his stories from his childhood/ when he was a teenager/ and 20-something.. like the space-thing ..and when he had talk to those girls who tells his that they moved moved to Stanhope Road and he just says "Oh, that's a shame" and the story about when he fell out of that window is always interesting..even if its quite.. serious.

thanks!!!
