drummers don’t need attention so much that they would never consider posting a comment about how important they are.

p.s. everything falls apart with them too.

drummers don’t need attention. they are the back bone, everything falls apart without them. attentively or not.

It was “lover” for sure. Maybe you’re channeling the “Babies” song from His N Hers where he says “you might be my gilfriend”.

Well, gosh. I was so sure it was “boyfriend.” I’d still like to hear that audio for myself, but I’ll concede if the consensus is against me. Did he end with the reprise “I want to be your girlfriend”? I thought I heard “girlfriend” at the end for sure, which made me think that “boyfriend” was the correct word in the chorus.

That’s awesome that you got to meet him too, V. I’m pretty jealous, being the new-found hardcore devotee now myself.

Jarvis Cocker was by far the best reason to go to Pitchfork this year. I was like you and was just a bit of a nominal fan before, but after seeing this show, I’m a hardcore devotee. There were other great sets by Ruby Suns, Boris, et al, but nothing thrilled me as much as Jarvis.

It was definitely “lover”.

I had a snippet of that “Told you once…” recorded as well and I’m 99% sure your girlfriend wins and he says “Lover”.

Also, I too was at Rainbo and saw Jarvis…I even got my pic with him awwww….
