The Jarvis Cocker Show

I cannot emphasize how much the Commodore Ballroom rocks as a venue to see live music, but of course it helps when the show itself is amazing.

Last night, Jarvis Cocker took to the stage and if I said the show was great, that would be an understatement. Obviously the many years he spent fronting the incredible Pulp have helped him develop a great performance style. Quirky and funny, his clever banter was second only to the dramatic timing of his musical choices. Ending with the song Black Magic right before the encore was a decision of staggering genius.

And just as an aside, if you're a big fan of the Chuck Taylors, the Commodore is seriously the place to go... At one point we spotted four identical pairs of black All-Stars, all in a row. I believe there was a his 'n hers matching set as well. Totally adorable.
