CSS Are Common People Like You
The Pulp fans in us live on and on, and with Jarvis, Mr. Cocker gave us all more to love, opening with the swagger of "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time" and "Black Magic" before exploring the Sheffield singer's softer, darker side on songs like "I Will Kill Again" -- and bringing out his inner testifying-punk on "Fat Children." And when electro-clashy Brazilian fun-lovers CSS hit London's Forum on 12/8, who better to call for a cameo than the reemerged man in specs? This from MTV UK:
For their encore, they were joined on stage by Jarvis Cocker for a rendition of their track "Alcohol." Introducing him on stage, gorgeous lead singer Lovefoxx said “Sometimes we call him a friend, sometimes we call him a lover, tonight let's just call him Jarvis!”

Decent audio from a bird's eye view here, or head here for some tight, pixelated face shots. The NYT says that "Mr. Cocker seems unusually well equipped to deal with the prospect of obsolescence"; maybe true, but he doesn't have to worry about that for awhile.

who the heck are CSS? That song has a nice sort of feel to it, especially with the crappy sound quality. It sounds like "sister ray" with a harmonica.

CSS are a new band on Sub Pop. "Alcohol" is a great track. Check out "Patins" as well. Two of the best songs I've heard this year.

Hey, Scott, I wrote the review on mtv.co.uk. It was an amazing gig right enough and if some of your readers haven't heard the album yet they should check it out. Any band with a track called "Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above" has got to be ok.

I saw them a few months ago at (what I think was) their first show in Seattle.
They're a lot of fun live.

CSS=cansei de ser sexy, "i'm tired of being sexy" in portuguese i believe, taken from an interview with beyonce during which she actually uttered that phrase, and they thought it was so stupid and pretentious that it would be a funny name for their band. Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above is a great song
