Jarvis Cocker to Become BBC Radio DJ in 2010
Anyone who has followed Jarvis Cocker’s career will know that he has regularly filled DJ slots in clubs across the globe. His natural charisma makes him a perfect fit for a radio slot, and that’s his next move—Cocker has accepted a role as a Sunday afternoon DJ on BBC 6 Music, beginning in early 2010.
The former Pulp singer will be filling some big shoes as he takes over from Ricky Gervais, who has worked at 6 Music for two years. "Sunday afternoon is my dream slot - that weird time when one week's effectively over and yet the new one's not yet begun - the 'limbo hours', if you like,” he said.
“It is my intention to fill these hours with as much dodgy opinion, crackpot theories, hare-brained schemes and beautiful, beautiful music as is humanly possible. I can't wait to get going. It's a great honor to be working for the BBC, which I consider to be the greatest broadcaster in the world."

I've been reading about Jarvis lately -- like in a week, he received some doctorate, released an EP, mingled with Clooney, attended a premiere with his lookalike son, soundtrack got leaked, did some yoga stuffs and now he's a dj for BBC. Not to mention Pulp is getting some reissue. Dude's a busy man. Can't wait what's in store next week, maybe he'll be elected as UK PM.
I got it, you want my attention. Jarvis Cocker you are now in my Google alert.
I think it's great news. One thing though, it's Stephen Merchant, not Ricky Gervaise that Jarvis is taking over from

Hey Jarvis, you don't really need to do all these lamey sidelines and non musical stuffs like yoga or rubbing elbows with Mooney. Here's what you do bendy boy, gather Steve, Nick, Candida, Russell and the young dude and start to reform Pulp. Snap out of that hiatus already.
