Once again I have to apologise for my recent reticence: it doesn't mean I don't love you anymore - honest.
This is the bit where it gets interesting; anybody can start something going but not everyone can KEEP it going & still fewer know how to finish it properly. I'm working on the middle bit - stick the plates on the end of the sticks & SPIN THEM! Billy Smart should be in touch any day now.
Professionally speaking (& let's not forget: I am the Consummate Professional) there is much to alert you to - People of Central & South America, are you in a state of readiness? I do hope so 'cos I will be in your neck of the woods during the first half of March - Monterrey, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, & Santiago, consider yourself duly warned. On another subject - do you remember myself & a certain Miss Beth Ditto doing a version of "Temptation" at the NME awards last year? You do? Well, now you can own it if you like as the NME is making it available on iTunes from the 18th of February - all the proceeds go to the homeless charity "Shelter" you know. And there's more....if only I could remember what it was. Anyway, that'll do for now. I hope this (relatively) new year is treating you well so far & I want you to know that one of my resolutions this year was to be more communicative - ok, this hasn't been the most auspicious of starts but at least I'm not as bad as the people across the street who have still got their Christmas tree up....
Keep the faith.
xx Jarvis
Help Shelter by downloading 'Temptation' at iTunes -
If you missed it the first time around, watch Jarvis performing 'Don't Let Him Waste Your Time' on Letterman in the video section. Also, check out Jarvis' cover of 'Purple Haze' from the Showbox in Seattle!
A way to keep you all updated when you are not on myspace/jarvspace?...
Welcome friends, to my humble little corner of the Internet. As you can see
from the photo over there I have been computing to my heart's content for some
time & now I want to share the experience with you. Because now I have
something to share.
If all the technical bits & pieces are working properly then you should be
able to hear a new song I've been working on. I wanted you to hear it now cos
It's exactly 1 year since that Live-8 thing & it was the night of that event
that I wrote this song. I apologise for all the swearing but sometimes that's
the only thing that seems appropriate.
It's in no way a criticism of Geldof & co. but I remember thinking at the
time: "Where does engaging with these politicians/businessmen really get you?"
- ( 12 months on & the cunts still haven't paid up as far as I can make
out) - maybe the problem is something more ..... fundamental. Anyway, what do I
know? I'm just a pampered rock star - but at least I think it's good to
discuss this stuff. Don't you?
Let me know what you think.
Oh yeah - & thanks for visiting. I hope this is just the start of a
beautiful relationship.
love, Jarvis xx
