New Music On 6 Music with Jarvis

The BBC is looking hard at it’s digital radio services, which are costing it a vast amount compared to the audience numbers they attract (£25,000,000 for an audience of some 300,000) – a similar amount to their period drama productions per hour. With that in mind, we’d like to recommend lending an ear to Jarvis Cocker’s new music show on 6 Music, widget below:

Jarv may get a little political at times, but the man can pick a cardigan.

Jarvis Cocker with Florence and the Machine

Pulp are one (were?) of the best live bands I’ve ever seen, second only to Glass Shark, who are also defunct now, so it’s nice to know Jarvis can still rock it live. He’s the only person who I’ve ever seen get a cheer from a festival crowd for his cardigan alone.

Here’s a fan submitted video (via Pitchfork) of him performing with Florence and the Machine in London’s Tabernacle.
