Jarvis Cocker now has a radio show late Sunday afternoons on BBC 6 music. Recently he played readings by author, artist, filmmaker Miranda July and I really enjoyed them. I did a little search to find out more. She's from Portland, Oregon and reviews of her films and books are sprinkled with references to Rick Moody, Dave Eggers, (McSweeney et al) and Todd Solondz. Not bad for me, but this could send a lot of people running. There are mixed reviews from the critics, but she was getting consistent praise for her book of short stories 'No One Belongs Here More Than You'. I'll have to read it first before I can say much more, but I like what I've heard so far, and I liked her two websites.
