Jeffrey Lewis on the Culture Show

[GrungeRockabilly]

Looking forward to the next album. Wonder what it will sound like. Saw some pics from the recording sessions, and he was doodling on an electric guitar. Is he pulling a Dylan Newport on us?

[saltemann]

I love how the next bit is about Julian Schnabel.

[desasterz]

I don't like Ryan Jarman. He doesn't go far enough and his listeners hear him and how he's gone somewhere and are subconcioussly obliged to be satisfied with waht they got. He could have gone further and I think he should. Still, he's gone further with Lady Gaga and Britney Spiers of course. Smae with Jarvis. Tom Clark's the guy I would be happy to get aprouval from. Also guys you want are John Rotten, Iggy Pop, Chrissie Hynde and Henry Rollins.

[lonesomeflower]

ARRRGGGHHH I HATE TIM SAMUELS! What an insincere dickhead!

[intherein]

I apologize on behalf of the UK for this dreadful piece of unworthy shit. There are some of us who like him for reasons other than the fact that "Ryan Jarman from the cribs" (who what where??) like him.

[WilfredsBackUp]

I love Jeff. I love his music. I love his Brudenell Social Club shirt. I hate Tim Samuels.

[OMGitsSeppie]

i love this man

[bloodyhellification]

tim samuaels is as useless as a marzipan dildo

[madcapoperator]

Tim samuels is NOT a cock, what senses that? Sorry he's not a pseudo-interllectual demi-god searching prick like say...paul morley? I love Jeff and his music though :)

[Swiftlygothedays]

"He's a bit ugly."

Excuse me? Jeffrey Lewis is not ugly at all. He's got a beautiful soul and is so charming and sweet. As for physical looks, he's not that bad. He's rather cute looking.

I knew it was a bad sign when a "reporter" goes to a music show and comments on the artist's looks as if the "reporter" himself is good looking.

Jeff is so awesome. I'd love to meet him.

[theroob]

In America if you get sick you just assume you're just gonna die and get left in the gutter.

"oh no, whats with the nasal poetry" what a dick

[coraline1664]

I agree, that reporter was an idiot. And Jeffrey Lewis is more than sweet (as said by that guy in the video) -his lyrics are eloquent, relevant and wise.

[robfisher1]

anyone know what the last song is?

[will070361]

I think it is "end result" it's on 12 crass songs.

[arienette05]

the reporter's a twat.

[Arstar]

thanks for talking over all the interesting bits

[voldermania]

Physically cannot watch.

[Geraldon1]

I saw him live without knowing who he was, but from there he had me hooked! Love him!

[georgemc25]

"theres definitely something to jeffrey''

well DUH! What a cockend journalist.

[michellel11]

well put

[gshizz]

By him I meant the interviewer. Jeffrey doesn't babble on a dismiss.

[gshizz]

The presenter in this section is absolutely terrible. I love Jeffrey Lewis, but I cannot watch him babble on and dismiss something he knows nothing about.

"Oh no, whats with nasal poetry?"

Get lost mate.

[jmwebber100]

i think this guy is the modern day Dylan he realy is that good!

[SuperHenry18]

THIS is the standard of BBC's "high-middle-class culture?". Lauren Laverne presenting the musical equivalent of Newsnight. Brilliant. I actually didn't watch the whole video because of how sickeningly stupid the, so-called "journalist" was. Oh dear lord, somebody who KNOWS the band is SELLING MERCHANDISE?! Get out, that's just mental. Anyone would think they're trying to save money and have a good time while they're at it.

[jaymusseato]

come & see your latest evolutionary step.

come on kiddies...don't git left behind with your dumbass parents...

[thecityghosts]

that tim bloke is a proper douche

[countfudgekula]

1:40 - hang on, what sort of 'Culture Show' is this that starts moaning about poetry?

isn't the point of culture programmes to encourage creative arts and creative writing?

[mephelim]

hear hear,that dude with the quiff(mark kermode?) can be a snotty dismissive so and so!!

[ratdk]

Tim Samuaels is a fucking cockend.

[allaboutdmagic]

While chatting to Jeff via email and asking him to bring his Watchmen lecture to Dublin he told me he actually enjoyed the movie. He said " Not great, but certainly good. Better than any other Alan Moore book-turned into-movie." There ya go.

[KingFukcinDavid]

"thats really DIY rock n Rohl isnt"

ah, pretending you knew the term that you just heard in order to seem like youre above it all when we all severely dislike you, and still not getting a clue because you condescended him for sharing actual feelings and are hence the kind of person who condescneds people for having actual feelings whilst presenting a show on music when you dont play any music.

[OldTommyFlynns]

Spot on

[Jimmyjewels]

very spot on. Not only is punk dead, but, "True Feelings Are Dead" to the mass public.

[johndredgecomedy]

v good artist, imbecilic feature.

[Fran100]

does anyone know what the last song is called?

[Deathcoptertrick]

'End result', a cover of crass from the album '12 crass songs', very differant from the original!

[lonesomeflower]

ugh that journalist ... why didn't he just research ...

[morganfaulkner]

That journo is an ignorant cunt.

[speedapple]

here here

[ttfbxxxxx]

yep

[moolie987]

I nearly gave up watching it, but thanks fook there's actually some input from Jeff, not just the snotty bibble from the presenter (good word bibble, thanks hiellaguruguru)

[theflyingglove]

The only good thing about this video is jeffrey lewis and his band.

(wow only £8 to see him!)

[shinykatie]

I hate it when they do pieces where the journalist hasn't bothered to find out about who he's interviewing. What a wasted opportunity. Presumably he thought that the fact that he didn't know who Jeffrey Lewis meant that lewis wasn't worth bothering with.

[Jimmyjewels]

WOW!, you're good. Just because Jay-Z or some other half nitwit "cultural icon" doesn't say, "....you should really check out blah blah blah", real artist with something to say goes unnoticed. Mindless people follow what other mindless people tell them to follow.

[LosersandHippies445]

"he's a bit ugly"

hes not damn model, hes a musician, not a gimp rockstar

i dont even know why anyone would even mention that

[03278751]

who gives a flying monkey what that fool cocker thinks?! I'm seeing jeffery lewis tonight, but then again i'm only going coz ryan jarman said it was cool on the culture show.

[hiellaguruguru]

This is the most facile, po-faced and ill-informed piece of journalistic work I've had the displeasure of seeing for a while, centring around a 'floor'-obsessed, smarmy-faced bibble.

[Lindyhops17]

wow.

that interveiw was terrible.

[natmanprime]

then why post it?

[sparklenight]

Heh, I was there and you can see me in a bit of this footage. How exciting!

[stevenstanley]

'Cocker's not wrong'. Hilarious! Like Alan Partridge interviewing Will Oldham ...

[mullingman]

Haha totally. What a wally 'I'd let him crash at mine'

[damienattenborough]

What a review! A patronising reporter's journey from indifference to bemusement while discovering on of today's greatest artists.

A shining example of the irony in calling it 'the culture show'.

[samshipstone]

Brudenell Social Club t-shirt! He's wearing his Brudenell Social Club t-shirt! I'm pretty happy now.

[geckoremmington]

That was a terrible review. Heey im reeviewing a review somthigs really wrong with me, i think ill make a lemsip

[kierstencarlson]

He crashed at my place last year. Really nice, fun people.

[kaesenudeltopf]

Well, so would I. Very likeable guy with interesting ideas and lyrics!

I actually bought his CDs directly from him when he opened for Adam Green in Hamburg a couple of years ago.

[irishcircusgirl]

"id let him crash at mine" hehe

[coconuthodges]

Lauren Laverne, look her up. Rock goddess!!

[Dillardred]

why is the interviewer such a dork?

[coconuthodges]

Lauren Laverne, look her up. Rock goddess!!

[faceometer]
