Paris = Jarvis

ok been over this it felt hyped to me. nme cover, OMM, culture show, lots on radio4 he had his own series then a bunch of stuff on other shows and i kept seeing features on him also big posters in front of record stores suggested it was expected to do something more than it did.

However, being on Rough Trade, it was unlikely to do more than it did, commercially.

dunno the libertines and the strokes both got no 1s whilst on rough trade...

re hype -- paris doesn't get the same kind of hype, she just gets 'items', gossipy things. jarvis gets interviews and whatnot.

Which is more useful?

personally, i think jarvis is a more interesting public figure.

Because of Jarvis or because of Paris?

well i missed the radio shows on art schools but that's a subject that interests me and obviously el jarv belongs to that lineage, even if i'm not so interested in his music now (never was particularly, thnking about it -- i have maybe two pulp 45s). could paris say something interesting about anything? yet to see evidence of this, and i'll take my two pulp records over her stuff. the missus likes them both, but i reckon she'd opt for jarvis in the long-run. she sent me the richard x thing w. jarv, but i didn't d/l (full disclosure).
