Welcome to the Sunday Service!
Jarvis Cocker begins his weekly 6 Music show, filled with dodgy opinion, crackpot theories, hare-brained schemes and beautiful, beautiful music.
Jarvis begins by throwing down the gauntlet and asking: The Grateful Dead - Are They Any Good? Stephen Fry reads Dave Eagleman's story about the afterlife, Sum. Jarvis reads Richard Brautigan's story What Are You Going to Do with 390 Photographs of Christmas Trees? and listeners send in photos of abandoned Christmas trees they've spotted. Sir John Betjeman recites In the Liquorice Fields of Pontefract and we're introduced to the BBC Seasons record. Jarvis talks to John Hillcoat, director of The Road. John discusses the use of music in the film, scored by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. He wonders why these days serious dramas are usually labelled 'bleak' and 'depressing'. He also suggests that in the spectacle of an apocalyptic, destroyed landscape, a stark beauty may be found. And Jarvis wonders whether Coca-Cola would thrill a child as much in a world without marketing.
