A Seasonal Sunday Service
2016-12-25: A festive show featuring cracker jokes, jingling bells and clips from this year's Sunday Service. This year, Jarvis spoke to Yuval Noah Harari; Richard Hines; Ralph Rugoff; Adam Curtis; Paul Morley; and Marina Abramovic. Do you remember: playing a record using the new fiver; experimental music for cats; an extract from Stephen Hawking's Reith Lecture; and "O" by Jim Jarmusch/Preservation. There's also a chance to hear for the first time on the Sunday Service some clips that were previously cut for time: Leonard Cohen discussing religion; and a salty anecdote by David Bowie from his early career. Finally, a special present for the listeners — a New Year new song recorded by Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley. Merry Christmas everyone!
Highlights of 2015 - Part 2
2016-01-03: More highlights from 2015 on the Sunday Service. Featuring birthday boys Sid Vicious and Dennis Bergkamp, Tom Jones and Prince, Rowan Williams and Douglas Gordon. We heard about Bob Dylan's electric experiments. Jarvis visited the Phonogalerie in Paris and also learned about the birth of mp3. Hot Chip, Sparks and Green Gartside sat in when he was away. Barcode melodies gave us new insight into the possibilities of peanut butter. Paul Morley wrote a book with Grace Jones, and Seamus Murphy wrote a book with PJ Harvey. David Eagleman made sense of the mysteries of the mind. And Jarvis made something to show his love for Paris.
Highlights of 2015 - Part 1
2015-12-27: A look back at the year on the Sunday Service. Featuring the interview with artist Christian Marclay, the flight into outer space with Yuri Gagarin and the journey into inner space on Bicycle Day. Steve Davis gave Jarvis a snooker masterclass. Amongst those who sat in when Jarvis was away were Jonny Trunk and John Cale. We voted for Britain's Favourite Bird and we enjoyed Glastonbury. And there was an outstanding turn from special guest Furby.
The Best of the Sunday Service 2013
Jarvis looks back over some of his favourite bits from the Sunday Service 2013. He brings us clips from guests such as David Attenborough, who came in to talk about musicality in the animal kingdom; Nick Hornby, who discusses his project in which children wrote lyrics for grown-up musicians; and Beardyman, who provided an improvised backing to a previously unreleased Pulp lyric.
Best of 2012 - Part 2
Bonne année! Here's another helping of 2012 highlights. Featuring the day the show took to the waves, including the Heart of Darkness jamma session; John Cooper Clarke praising the poetry of Baudelaire; and some of Scott Walker's interview. There's a Month of Sundays lesson about dub music from David Rodigan; Kathy Burke remembers meeting The Clash; and we look back on the time the show went a bit martial arts. Jarvis reviews the A-Z of Peel and plays an energetic example. We revisit the culture of 'balling' amongst pro poker players. Jarvis wishes us all a happy new year. Birthdays: Bo Diddley.
Best of 2012 - Part 1
Can you hear bells jingling, and boots trudging through the snow? As you dash about preparing for Christmas, Jarvis presents some of his 2012 highlights, the coins in the JCSS Christmas pudding. Featuring Michael Clark talking about David Bowie; Kraftwerk quotes; Edna O'Brien on Francis Bacon's surprising Christmas gift; some of Leonard Cohen's interview; and a clip from when Pam Hogg sat in. Another deputy, Marianne Faithfull, chats to Jefferson Hack and reads some lyrics she's written about 'magical midnight'. Plus, apple nachos; Johnny Trunk praises Dory Previn; the poetic intro to the Sheffield Sunday show; and a clip from A Month of Sundays with Underworld's Karl Hyde. Birthdays: Carla Bruni and Chet Baker.
We're Having a Party, Just You and I
The second half of a look back over JCSS 2011 -- and as it's the station's Vinyl Only day, all the music comes off crackly black plastic. Hardy Krüger welcomes us to his one-man party. Gaz Mayall and Jerry Dammers present two takes on reggae; Roger McGough describes his early poetry writing; Jarvis chooses his favourite Hey Joe of the year; and Julian Barratt rides his 'silver dragon of sound'. The next hour revisits Jarvis's foray into the BBC Gramophone Library, and Jimmy Savile takes us to News Time. Matthew Wright waxes lyrical about Pink Floyd; then Jeremy Deller and the Cornershop boys talk about records and record shops. Andrew Motion discusses his recording of Charles Causley, and the importance of having a fresh and positive outlook. Dee Dee Ramone lambasts the Bomb. And to support your New Year resolutions, hypnosis expert Dr Michael Dean takes you down, down...
A Christmas Gift for You from Jarvis Cocker
The first half of a look back over the Sunday Services of 2011. Michael Horovitz performs a mulled wine recipe in the form of a poem; Bobby Gillespie introduces Loaded; Caroline Coon discusses the politics of partying; Paul Morley signs off; and Alan Vega remembers the early days of his band Suicide. There's an hour of music and chat from Brian Eno's celebration of gospel music. We hear Justin Bieber slowed down by 800%; Steve Davis advising on snooker; an Elvis anecdote retold by Nick Hornby; and Adam Curtis on how computers are making us all into curators of pop's past. Simon Reynolds considers freedom and the internet; Marianne Faithfull praises the power of music; and Lawrence of Felt finishes by describing how much he loves The Velvet Underground.
A Boxing Day Bonanza
Jarvis makes a present of the past with some of the best music and audio he's discovered this year. And as he always used to watch Beatles films on Boxing Day morning, he plays songs from those throughout the show. Stephen Fry reads from David Eagleman's Sum; Baxter Dury remembers his dad Ian; Jarvis talks about the history of Boxing Day and possible etymology of the term; Alex Turner reads his short story A Choice of Three; Grayson Perry on culture and pottery; Tim Smit of the Eden Project with his daughter's theory about pupae; David Sedaris reads his short story Hejira; and Simon Munnery slates the grey skies over Watford.
