Great isn't it?! At last a degree for bringing NHS style specs into fashion, making tweed cool as well as lyrical genius.

Deserved.

Afterall, Pulp's work has already been the subject of at least one masters student's thesis*. This honorary doctorate will lend some credibility to others who want to study Jarvis' oeuvre.

*Just in case you're curious, master's student Nikki Dibben shows us that we all chose the wrong major:

1- Construction and Critique of the authentic pop icon in music and cover art of Pulp's This is Hardcore; Nikki Dibben. Sheffield University Press (2000)

2- Sex, Pulp and Critique; Eric F. Clarke and Nicola Dibben, Popular Music, Vol. 19, No. 2 (Apr., 2000), pp. 231-241 Published by: Cambridge University Press

3- Pulp, Pornography and Spectatorship: Subject Matter and Subject Position in Pulp's 'This Is Hardcore. Nicola Dibben. Journal of the Royal Musical Association, Vol. 126, No. 1 (2001), pp. 83-106. Taylor & Francis, Ltd. on behalf of the Royal Musical Association


One wonders, could she be the 'Nikki' of Watching Nicki and/or Happy Birthday Nicola?

Judging by the title, I thought that Jarvis will be Doctor Who;)))

I've seen pictures of David Tennant with a beard.

Uncanny.

I now have a name for it! "Shuffle Anxiety"! Mint!
