Quote of the Day: Jarvis Cocker’s Art Project

“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.”

– Stereogum reports that Jarvis Cocker is midway through a six-day experiment at a Paris gallery where he’ll attempt to answer the question, “What is music?” The quote above is from his official statement, but head over to Sterogum to see a really cute video of Cocker interacting with French kiddies. His new album Further Complications is out on May 19.
