New Jarvis Video - "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time"

Here's the clip for the smashing lead-track off Jarvis. You really shouldn't take driving tips from Mr. Cocker, luv -- but truth is Jarvis = cool even when he's a pedestrian's worst nightmare.

Jarvis is, now more than ever, an utter legend. Brilliant stuff.

Great song, as was the Nancy Sinatra version.

Yes, arya, let's compare a Jarvis video to a U2 video. Oy. 9_9

Funniest video I've seen in a while. Great stuff.

Its nice to hear some great pop melodies again. Lots of new bands could learn a thing or two from the great pop masters of the 80's and 90's - Pulp, Blur, Smiths. There's some serious cookie cutter syndrome going on these days.
