*Yowzers...I DIDN'T even know about Jarvis' love for that particular Scott Walker track until I started perusing the internet for interesting titbit’s this afternoon! I was aware that he's a HUGE fan of course...but the fact that this gem of a tune is one of his favourites has put a huge smile on me kipper...the same track is possibly my favourite song of all-time.

Okay, Cocker in action to finish my post off...

Whoever he is he sure does look fruity.

[Nate6]

Got Jarvis?

[someguy]

Maybe I should use photoshop and have a picture of BCV with Jarvis. Freak her out.

[BadCoverVersion]

Heeeeeeeey, I was just spreading some love folks...;)

Fruity indeed.

No worries on the PICCY front Someguy...I've already met my man and wound up chatting with him for quite some time, unfortunately I didn't have a bloody camera...:(, but I came away with a bundle of signed vinyl and smoked a Jarvis ciggie dimp or two...;)

I do have a PICCY with a Cocker waxwork though...from Rock Circus in London.

I'd post it...but as I was going through a bit of a gothy phase (black barnet and pasty skin)...well, I look like a complete bag of shit.

[someguy]

You get to meet some famous names. Is it true about Eccleston?
