Do you think Jarvis Cocker ever met up with that girl in the year 2000?

No. Neither do I think that there ever was a "fountain down the road".

I for one would like to believe.

i think he was too busy being addicted to heroin

It is certainly strange now that they're both fully grown.

I'm deleting that post
get that shit out of my face

...and was she really called "Deborah" or did he chose that name because it rhymes with "suited ya".

?

it was because it rhymed with 'tetherer', i thing. she liked to tether things.

think

i think that there was a fountain down the road, that her name was not actually deborah, & that he did not meet up with her in the year 2000 but would've liked to

also her house was in fact very small w/ wood chip on the wall

she was not the first girl in school to get breasts but martin did say she was the best

Best things:

[1] the way in which it captures "a young person's" view of the passage of time as more of a hypothesis than a reality (which hypothesis is a salve for very real, sharp-end teenage torments).

[2] the desperation at the song's end *might* imply that it is indeed a sad character we're dealing with, but it finds liberation in his defeat.

Worst things:

[1] Song is pretty gay
[2] Pulp suck

1. That's no kind of rendezvous. 2 o clock. The Fountain.

What day? afternoon or night? What?

Oh yeah, the girl was going to be called "Gloria" but the producer persuaded Jarvis that he'd lay himself open to plagiarism suit.

jesus died for somebodies sins but not mine

why is it that the only pulp songs most people know are among their most boring

if you want a jarvis autobiography special i recommend "david's last summer" or "wickerman" both of which are over 7 minutes long and kick "disco 2000" into a mcmuffin carton

McMuffins don't come in cartons

it was a single, louis, is why.

o shit i just betrayed some sort of bourgeoise ignorance LOOK IT'S LATE AND I'M TIRED OK I CAN'T BE FUCKED

shouldn't u be at a ball or some shit?

McDonalds is the true classless society

You Can't be? Why, what happened?

srsly dogg i heard fireworks this evening, saw the pretty ladies walking out...

yeh, jarvis got to them first, though.

NO fuck that shit the only balls i'm going to are the ones my band is PLAYING at, i'm currently sat in my dressing-gown feeling a bit run-down and not at all envying those who are currently getting wasted for 100 quid

u mad doggie

besides, i wouldn't have seen LOL FRANCE if i'd been a-raving.

and yeah if there's an LZBC meet it should almost certainly happen in a McD, anywhere else and there'd be class-related zing overload, also i could learn how each dish is served

Dude, Spoony's or nothing.

not really sure how to play this one

Cambridge Spoony's is I believe the biggest in the country. We could probably fit every active ILX member in there. I have a dream etc.

The song was covered by Nick Cave as a b-side for the single 'Bad Cover Version'.

^^ not really the thread for it, but: boy, what is up with people liking nick cave?

What, you think they shouldn't?

I'm not a fan, but hey..

Oh, I do have that version of "Disco 2000" by Nick. It's OK.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

The idea that they did meet seems sadder than the idea that they didn't, somehow.

Supposedly there WAS a fountain down the road...

After that song, 2000 seems to me like a pretty obvious year to arrange a reunion part for his class. Like most classes do from time to time.

...and was she really called "Deborah" or did he chose that name because it rhymes with "suited ya".

Could have been Sylvia as well. ;)

'Different Class' = largely shit, 'His 'N' Hers' = unadulterated genius.

I like both, but agree that His'n'Hers >

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Fascinating.
