Cocker Spanrules!

Jarvis Cocker
Webster Hall
April 23rd

Jarvis Cocker may not be the voice of a generation, but if I had to choose one voice to rule them all, for everything from books on tape to subway PA announcements, he would mos def shirley be the one. I am serious, and stop calling me Mos Def!! I don't remember when I became smitten with JC and his former fellow cohorts of Pulp, but the smittens have never been liftedens from my body, my self. Well, 28ish years in, JC finally got around to releasing a proper solo album. And the results are purty much the same amazingness that he had achieved with Pulp. That's why his 'solo' show, complete with a 4 man band, totally rocked the hizzle and the kizzle and the flizz nizzle. Honestly, I've never seen a singer on stage without an instrument be more entertaining than Jarvis. Not only is his wit wisdom, but the brother was born to hand jive, baby. The only thing missing from the beyond bestness fest was him mooning Michael Jackson, like it was '96. Well that, and any trace of Pulp songs. And that's why the evening was even mo special. He owned Webster Hall without leaning on his back catalog. So if he ever changes his mind, and reunites the boys and girls, I will pay top dollar to see them, and so should you
