Pulp singer given honorary degree

The singer studied at the institution when it was Sheffield Polytechnic

Former Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has been given an honorary degree in his home city of Sheffield.

The singer picked up the doctorate at Sheffield Hallam University.

Cocker, who has also had success as a solo artist and radio producer, studied at the institution when it was Sheffield Polytechnic.

Receiving his certificate at a ceremony at City Hall, the 46-year-old said: “I’m called a doctor now. Don’t worry, I won’t open a surgery.”

He added: “But I guess if you are a songwriter maybe I could have some kind of musical surgery.

It’s a great honour to be given this, especially in my home town Jarvis Cocker

“If you had a song with a swollen chorus, or a varicose verse, or if you need a little bit of help I could try and heal your song for you.”

Cocker did an access course at the poly before winning a place at Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design in London.

The singer had his big break with Pulp at Sheffield Polytechnic in 1981 when they handed over a demo tape to John Peel, and he invited them to record a session for Radio 1.

The band went on to be nominated for a Mercury Music Prize in 1994 and the following year their single Common People reached number two in the charts.

In the past decade the singer has launched a solo career and also moved into film-making and art.

He told graduates at City Hall, who were there to collect certificates, that he had done most of his learning outside formal classrooms.

“Sometimes people call it the university of life,” he said.

“The only trouble with the university of life is the graduation when you’ve checked out, so it’s nice to actually have a graduation whilst I’m still here to enjoy it.

“It’s a great honour to be given this, especially in my home town.”

Wooo!! Now to get him on the Sheffield Walk of Fame next to Def Leopard!

Tuesday November 10,2009

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK star JORDAN KNIGHT is hosting an unofficial singing contest across the U.S. to give one talented fan his or her big break.

The singer came up with the idea of holding a ‘Jordan Idol’ competition to audition skilled vocalists while he was travelling across the U.S., working on his upcoming solo album.

He began filming fans who showed up outside his recording studio in Boston, Massachusetts and posting their performances on clip-sharing website YouTube.com, prompting more and more wannabe pop stars to flock to meet him at his next stop in Nashville, Tennessee.

He tells MTV.com, “A lot of fans showed up outside the recording studio, and I just went out there with a (video camera). I said, ‘Who here could sing? Maybe you could sing background on my record?’ And a couple girls sang, and I posted it up on YouTube.

“I want to have fun with the fans. I want to hear them sing, and who knows? Maybe there is someone out there who can really put it down (perform well), and if I have the connections to help them out, it’s kind of always been a dream of mine to help somebody out.”

Knight’s next stop is in New York, where he hopes to find a true star.

He adds, “New York is one of the entertainment capitals of the world, so I’m sure there’s a lot of singers here. They don’t have to have the perfect look, the perfect voice, the perfect moves – they just have to have something special. It’s hard to come by. I’m looking for ‘it’. ‘It’, are you out there?”

Yes I went grey for this. Using a pink background for Kurt would just be inappropriate.
This looks and sounds so amazing. So want for Christmas. The New Kids may have introduced me to music but Nirvana and Kurt Cobain made me LOVE it.

Even if you have…
Even if you need…
I don’t mean to stare.
We don’t have to breed.
We can plant a house,
We can build a tree
I don’t even care.
“We could have all three,”

(PS The live album is pretty kick ass too and will be out on 180 gram vinyl on the 17th)
