Jarvis Cocker (page 76)

“I had met most of the musicians in the British ’90s indie scene through work or because I lived in North London at the time, but I’d always wanted to meet Jarvis,” says photographer Gay.

“His incredible sense of humor always stood out, but he’s also very humble and approachable.”

Gay’s work has appeared in Vogue, Purple, and V. First album: “It might have been

Thriller—sorry, Jarvis!”

Chuck Eddy

Essentials: Novelty Songs (page 90) SPIN’s Essentials columnist found his research process disrupted after a recent move from New York to Austin, Texas.

Francesco Carrozzini

The Dead Weather (page 52) The Dead Weather’s drummer made an immediate impression on photographer Carrozzini at the Nashville cover shoot. “When I arrived, I met Jack White first,” he says. “I had the feeling of having a real rock star in front of me. The only time I felt that before was with Keith Richards.” The New Yorker has also photographed for Esquire, The New Yorker, and Italian Vogue. First album: Michael Jackson’s Bad

Josh Modell

Jarvis Cocker (pages 76) “Jarvis was handsome and affable and very down-to-earth for someone as fabulous as he is. I didn’t feel starstruck at any point,” says Modell, managing editor of The Onion A.V. Club, of this month’s SPIN Interview subject. “Then again, it might have been the beard he’s sporting now.” First album: “Kilroy Was Here by Styx. I should feel more shame about that, but I don’t.”
