Hello Pulpfans, I have a few requests , based on this article:

 

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/may/29/jarvis-cocker-on-my-radar-batman-max-richter-daft-punk-sheffield-wednesday

I know the movie "Victoria" (was he successfull in GB?). But I can't understand what Jarvis is talking about when he writes: I had this down as a one-trick pony along the lines of that film from years ago that featured real sex (Romance), but luckily my girlfriend persuaded me to overcome my in-built prejudice....

And what does he mean with the plot-line :And when the plot line eventually kicks in, things gets very intense.

Do you know anything about his father (he  mentions him in the football-article)? I'm very jealous that you have Leicester. Here always Bayern München wins, it's like "Groundhog Day"

I don't know anything myself about the film,  but he says "In case you dont know, the gimmick is that the film is shot entirely in one take", so I assume that that is what it is particularly known for and you might then jump to the conclusion that a film shot like that is likely to be a bit rubbish and not bother going to see it. I'm afraid I don't know anything about how the plot line does develop though, so can't shed any light on that. 

Football - I saw several pictures like this one on Twitter yesterday of Jarvis at Wembley for the playoff final, there were also some of him at the away leg of the semi-final at Brighton, with Albert, on the official club Twitter feed, and some earlier in the season when Wednesday played QPR, who are a West London team, presumably relatively local to where he lives, that had Albert in as well. So he's obviously been getting into it a bit more lately. There have also been a couple of times when he has been persuaded to go to home matches and do something like pick a raffle winner at half time on the pitch, often with Richard Hawley as well, who is a massive Wednesday supporter, he has whole threads on his forum about football. It's been apparent to me from things Jarvis has said in interviews in recent years that he has kept contact with his father after that newspaper tracked him down in Australia in 1998 or whenever it was. Seems like he never took up the paper's attempt at some rather gruesome reunion performance, but did go privately with his sister. There's various mentions of his dad in some of the articles on Acrylic Afternoons and it sounds like he went through a pretty rough time around the 90s, maybe with alcohol or something, so maybe not the healthiest. This article sadly sounds like he must have been pretty ill at the time Jarvis is talking about and not expecting to live much longer. The effect of football in drawing people together is quite strange, and often very powerful, and it sounds like Jarvis' dad was a lifelong owl from the article (Sheffield Wednesday supporters are nicknamed "owls" and the club has an owl on the badge and owl mascots, from Owlerton, a district of Sheffield where the ground is).

Leicester's season is a strange here as it might be in Germany, that's why it has had so much attention. It appears to have had a big effect on the city, just from what I've seen and heard in the media. Wednesday supporters are pretty passionate as fans go and the club appears to be well run at the moment with a popular owner (from Thailand, like Leicester's), which encourages the fans. Hull's fans (the opponents yesterday) are very unhappy indeed with their owners and they didn't manage to sell all their tickets for Wembley, their forums suggest support has declined since this current owner took over. So even though they won and have got back to the top league, it remains to be seen how happy they will be about it. We'll have to see if the Special One (Mourinho) can make it Groundhog Day again for us with Man U.

Hello Fran,
thank you so much for your research. I want to return the favour and send you a trailer of Victoria. Maybe you'll get an idea.

The article seems to imply that his dad has either died or is close to death. Can't find anything else online in relation to that, though. Poor old Mac (and Jarvis) though, either way.

Yes, that's what I thought. But I wasn't shure.

Thank you alectrona7,
that is very sad. So Jarvis is going through a hard time and we shouldn't moan that he doesn't publish records. (except the last ones).
It was nice to listen to the interview. It seems that his father has had a good sense of humour too.
Did you listen to him on radio?

Unfortunately, I never got the chance to listen to Mac. He was doing community radio by the time I was born in a different area.

The photo looks so much like Jarvis. I think it's nice that Jarvis also does radio.
