Jarvis Cocker’s Jarv Is… has released “Save the Whale,” the latest offering from the band’s upcoming debut Beyond the Pale, out July 17th via Rough Trade Records.
Cocker made the video from home while in lockdown; it features photos of the band’s performances from the last two years. “Take your foot off the gas because it’s all downhill from here,” he sings in an eerie drawl, sounding like a You Want It Darker b-side. “You are a manifestation of the universe/Your form is unimportant/But please come over here.

My friend Peter Richardson, who has died of cancer aged 51, was a graphic artist with a special talent for typography. Peter's designs were always elegant and considered, with a sensitive use of colour. His collage-based illustrations combined simple drawings, text and photographic elements. These varied design skills lent themselves well to animation, in particular the creation of TV titles and motion graphics, where Peter made his career.

The year's best musical and one of the year's finest animated films, this utterly delightful Spanish movie is an affecting, funny, historically accurate and at times pleasingly erotic story of the on-again, off-again love affair between Chico, a Cuban jazz pianist and composer, and the feisty Cuban chanteuse Rita. Chico, rather like one of the forgotten musicians in Buena Vista Social Club, looks back 60 years from the dilapidated Havana of 2008 to the frantic, swinging pre-revolutionary city of 1948, where he meets the gorgeous Rita. A gig with the visiting Woody Herman band sets the pair on a romantic and musical journey that takes them to New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood, through the postwar history of swing, bebop and Latin American music. Brushes with the mafia, the Us colour bar and the Cuban revolution lead to personal tragedies. The graphic stylisation, with its blocks of colour and hard black outlines, is elegant,...
