Seriously, how cool is this?? Sadly though, it's two hours long which at SX is a VERY long time to be at one event.
Saying The Unsayable With Jarvis Cocker
Room 16B
Wednesday, March 18th
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
What is the function of lyrics in popular song? Jarvis Cocker addresses the issue with examples from other people's songs and his own. Subjects under consideration include; "Should Songs Rhyme?", "Are Songs Poetry?", "Is There Anything You Can't Write Songs About?", "Which Phrases Should be Avoided at All Costs?" & "Great First Lines." Songs by Leonard Cohen, Pete Doherty, Hot Chocolate, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Lou Reed, Dory Previn, Katerine, and Arctic Monkeys will be investigated.
Sigh. I need to stop reading things about SXSW or I'm going to become completely inconsolable about the fact that I won't be there.
