What am I listening to currently, week of 10-18-2012:- Jarvis Cocker (known for his stint as the frontman for Pulp). I love his quirky lyrics, they tell of a life so normal that it seems to be odd. I love writers and Jarvis Cocker is definitely a humorous writer:
And so I come to you filled with guilt and self-loathing
And I am praying that you could make me good
And so I fall upon your neck just like a vampire
Yeah, like a vampire who faints at the sight of blood - London Phillharmonic's The Greatest Video Game Music.
