2008 - Super. Smashing. Great.

Once again I have to apologise for my recent reticence: it doesn't mean I don't love you anymore - honest.

This is the bit where it gets interesting; anybody can start something going but not everyone can KEEP it going & still fewer know how to finish it properly. I'm working on the middle bit - stick the plates on the end of the sticks & SPIN THEM! Billy Smart should be in touch any day now.

Professionally speaking (& let's not forget: I am the Consummate Professional) there is much to alert you to - People of North & South America, are you in a state of readiness? I do hope so 'cos I will be in your neck of the woods during the first half of March - Monterrey, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, & Santiago, consider yourself duly warned. On another subject - do you remember myself & a certain Miss Beth Ditto doing a version of "Temptation" at the NME awards last year? You do? Well, now you can own it if you like as the NME is making it available on iTunes from the 18th of February - all the proceeds go to the homeless charity "Shelter" you know. And there's more....if only I could remember what it was. Anyway, that'll do for now. I hope this (relatively) new year is treating you well so far & I want you to know that one of my resolutions this year was to be more communicative - ok, this hasn't been the most auspicious of starts but at least I'm not as bad as the people across the street who have still got their Christmas tree up....

Keep the faith.

xx Jarvis

It's not quantity but quality, and you rarely fail in that quarter! Most pleased to hear Temptation is being released- it was rather fantastic! My favourtie cover, up there with Bjork and PJ doing Satisfaction at the Brits all those years ago...

Dear Jarv, Mexico is in North America! Shocking but true. When will you be back in Los Angeles?

Fantastic! So good to see you back...we've missed you around these parts!

I was very excited about the "Temptation" download, but, alas, it is not available to those of us in the States. And, really, somebody needs to work out that nonsense...there's loads of stuff I'd love to get from the UK store, but can't. But that's a rant for another place and time.

Love seeing the new songs, particularly "Loss Adjuster"...I hadn't heard that yet. Brilliant!

Happy New Year, take care, and keep those plates spinning.

xoxo D

thanx for giving us some news, although I was explecting something more like 'I'm so much creative at the moment that cannot stop writing new songs' ;)

Are you adding more tour dates in your schedule? any show in Europe again?? =)

best wishes for you and take care

p.s Went to a great gig by a great band last Fri in Ladbroke Grove, but some of the crowd there are the reason I just played 'I Spy' loud! The lyrics to that song Jarv are simply great :)

I still love you... Just thought you should know.

And I once kept my Christmas tree up until my birthday in July. Which happens to be your anniversary, as well. It was a party tree - I lit it for every festive occasion.

Is that what the neighbors are doing?

Ti Voglio Bene, you magnificent man, you!

Loved seeing the Temptation clip on YouTube. :) Don't think I can purchase it as I've a US iTunes account, but it was great to see, and I'm glad that such a strong performance is being made available to help people. South America, here comes Jarvis! Whoo!

Hi, Jarvis. Are you sure you couldn't find a way and go to Sao Paulo in Brazil? You've got too many desperate fans here which would give a finger (a toe, at least) to see you. It'd be such a waste comingo to Brazil and not visting Brazil. Thanks. Hope I'll see you soon.

You coming to México is the greatest piece of news ever, and even more so because you are playing two days after my birthday. You have made me a very happy girl and seeing you will be the best late birthday present.

I can't wait =D

I have never seen you play Jarvis, despite having a ticket for 2 gigs. I have never seen Pulp play either. One of those should happen.

its nice to hear that u r coming to buenos aires, but ur tickets r ridiculously expensive (almost 100 euros), im not sure if u got something to do with it, but im sure that many many ppl will find hard to go and listen to ur music, and i think thats the important part of it, right?
hope u can do something...
take care
