'I don’t like career people.'

Opa würde sagen: \\\"Klappern gehört zum Handwerk.\\\" Das war schon früher so, und das hat sich zumindest in der englischen Musikpresse bis heute nicht geändert. Kollegen-Bashing gehört da einfach zum guten Ton – das weiß auch Jarvis Cocker, der so langsam die Promotionmaschine für sein Solo-Debüt 'Jarvis' anwirft. Kann man ihm deshalb böse sein? Nicht wirklich. Denn im Gegensatz zu manch pöbelndem Jungstar, wirft er einfach mal unbequeme Wahrheiten in die Runde.

In einem Interview mit dem NME gestand Jarvis: \\\"I've always liked people who mess up. I don't like career people - it doesn't seem very appropriate when it comes to music which is about something emotional. Reading an interview with Razorlight is just like reading 'The Economist', saying 'Yeah, well we're going to be really big in America and we think this album's going to follow up the next one' - that's what the record company should be saying, not the people in the band.\\\"

Und weiter ging's: \\\"And even The Rapture, who I like, there was an article about them I read which just seemed to be about them being managed by the same people who manage U2. I just thought 'Why do I want to know that?' That's not what music's about. I don't care who they're managed by. I don't care who makes their guitars. I don't care how many records they've sold, really, I just want to know whether they've got anything to say and whether they're interesting.\\\" Oh, that’s so true, Jarvis!
