this is from the email i got

As we're sure some of you are already aware, the man is back, so is his groove and he wants to share it with you. Hence, he's giving a series of dance, music and aerobics classes for you all to enjoy live via the Internets right now, or more specifically 12pm til 6pm Parisian time. If you haven't logged on already, then we're sad to inform you of some of the things you've missed; Jarvis managing a musically accompanied yoga class, a beautiful belly dancer, performing hard rock with class of over excited 8 year olds and numerous jam sessions with an eclectic mix of locals fresh off the street.

So visit http://jarviscocker.net without delay and don't forget to grab your free Mp3 from the imminent "Further Complications." album which you can now pre order via the same site, and all good (and also bad) record retailers, such as:

Rough Trade: http://######/DsQbZ

Amazon: http://######/QdugJ

Play: http://######/YWcju

Here's a message from Jarvis to explain exactly what you can expect to see via the live feed over the next few days

Back in October 2006, when I was asked to edit The Observer Music Monthly in the UK, I asked the question "What is Music for?". Two & a half years on I would like to shorten that question to: WHAT IS MUSIC?

ALSO

I have lost count of the number of articles proclaiming the imminent or actual death of the music industry. Does this mean that music can now go back to being an art form again? & If so, is it the first art form to begin adapting itself to the post-capitalist society we now find ourselves living in? Or is it just something you get free when you buy a mobile phone? Digital content.

ALSO

What happens if you get a band to rehearse in an art gallery instead of a rehearsal space? What if you invite members of the public to play with the band? Or invite them to submit song titles which the band then have to base an improvisation upon? Could a live band provide the accompaniment to an aerobics class? What happens if you play music from 12 noon til 7pm, 7 days a week? & What if you invite the kids from the local school to come round on their Wednesday off?

SO

From Tuesday 5th of May until Sunday 10th of May I will be occupying Galerie Chappe, 4, Rue Andre Barsacq, 75018 Paris, France (+33 1 42 62 42 12 www.galeriechappe.fr) from 12 noon til 6/7pm each day (maybe later some

nights) & attempting to answer these pertinent questions. I will be assisted by the members of my band: Martin Craft, Steve Mackey, Tim McCall, Ross Orton & Simon Stafford plus, at various times, we hope to be joined by other musicians currently living in the Paris area.

& THEN

If you live locally please come down & join in this experiment. If you don't you can follow its progress on www.jarviscocker.net which will run for the duration of the installation. Each day will be archived & re-broadcast for the convenience of those living in different time-zones.

& FINALLY

A selection of Rankin's photography for my soon-to-be-released album "Further Complications" will be on view during the course of this show. These images are an integral part of the exhibition & will also be offered for sale through the gallery.

DAM IT!

My dad is going to drag me to see bruce springsteen at that point, I really really want to see him. The JP Headliners are looking so strong. Do you reckon he will do an afternoon pyramid slot on the friday? Or is it just headlining the JP stage?

Cheers,

BlackHole2006

Our info is that he's playing just the once. From Jarvis' own lips.

No, that'll be the animal collective - although the park usually finishes later than other stages so if Pete is on before AC you would probably have to cut his set short to catch all of JC.

all of the major stages have to finish by 00:30 on Friday and Saturday, and midnight on Sunday.

The Pyramid acts normally have a finish time ten minutes before that curfew.

So are the JPS headliners now: Doves (Sun), Jarvis (Sat), Echo and the Bunnymen (Fri)

Or is it Doves on the Friday, not the Sunday?
