Pulp: C.L.A.S.S.I.C.O.R.D.U.D?

Also we can all wish for a billion, zillion dollars each.

So, they're reforming?

jarvo said on aus telly a week or so ago that they weren't..

i was surprised at how vitriolic russell was about jarvis's 'pop star' era in a recent interview for a MOJO special. he left because he got sick of all the attention he was getting but reading jarvis's interviews circa the late 90s you'd never have guessed there was any animosity between them. it's true it was never the same when he left, no matter how good some of the tunes were.

Holy shit, that Meccano song DOES sound a lot like "Common People"!!!!

They have reformed and will play at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona in May 2011.

Also Hyde Park in London in July.

Oh that's nice.

Will he have a shave?

so happy

my rule: it's not a reformation unless there's FRESH MATERIAL

So, it's a 'reunion' at this point, right?

the line-up: Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior, Mark Webber

so it doesn't have the most important person

also candida doyle has recovered from her illness? that is nice

so it doesn't have the most important person

which would be who?

oops for some reason i forgot that mark webber was called mark webber, blame the F1 driver

but wait, he didn't play on his'n'hers

my whole world is scrambled

^^^^^^^^^^^^L to R: The Lex, Wheal Dream

I never saw them first time around but I would see them if they came to my town. I hope this reunion lasts.

Richard Hawley wasn't a member until after "Hardcore", was he?

I rather like this cryptic website they've set up.

Metro this morning said they haven't played for 15 years. Which is odd, cos I could've sworn I saw them a couple of times around 99-01

This line-up has not played for 15 years.

Who else left apart from Russell Senior, who isn't even listed as being in the reformed band in Metro?

Dunno but they're wrong, he is in this reunion.

See, I was right, Metro IS wrong.

There's no way they won't headline Glastonbury next year, right?

first gig for 9 years tonight in Toulouse apparently. funny place for a comeback. chatter about the gig, setlist etc here:
http://baritalia.activeboard.com/t43039550/spoiler-2505-setlist-in-le-bikini-toulouse/

That setlist is surprisingly narrow in it's scope. What, 95% His'n'Hers and Different Class?

So like.. 100% what people want to hear? I kid, I kid. I can't believe Manon didn't make it either.

I am so sad that there are people out there getting to see them live and that I'm not one of those people. :(

Agreed.

Me too. I made a joke last night that we should go to Europe and see Pulp for our honeymoond and fiance was like... yeah, no. Then told me *maybe* if Arcade Fire were also there, because he's always trying to get me to turn around on them. Sadly they are together in Ireland a week before his vacation. And he probably wasn't serious anyway. Le sigh!

two months today until edwardo and I see them in Sydney Sex City!

I am working on a placard saying "Play fucking She's Dead, you cunts" as we speak.

(I will send them an A4-size version of this placard to them beforehand, so they can rehearse it first, as it'll be shit otherwise).

It's never coming back to the setlist. Face it. It's gone.

I don't know, I think it's pretty awesome that they played fucking Countdown in their comeback set.

Still, I'll be the one in the crowd at Wireless chanting "Tun-NEL! Tun-NEL!"

Even better, "Silence".

two months today until edwardo and I see them in Sydney Sex City!

Was going to say/ask:

Has Jarvis lost the bins/had a shave for this?

All these big festivals are fine but now it’s time to take things indoors ...
We’re very excited to announce a show of our own at
London’s O2 Brixton Academy on Wednesday 31 August 2011.

There'll be three or four more of them announced when Brixton sells out in 30 seconds.

weird that yesterday didn't sell out at all though.

Text received last night:

"Watchinbg Pulp at Wireless. It's 'Different Class' plus other bits :( "

I concur... 'Different Class' put me off them completely after adoring 'His 'n' Hers'..which I still adore. I barely checked 'This Is Hardcore' but I did buy 'We Love Life' which I'm kind of meh about (and not on my own, I guess).

Not tempted by the reformation shows..and if they're doing mostly DC...I'd not be arsed at festivals either.

XP

Not that weird when you consider how damn expensive it was.

went yesterday, & they sounded *great* but yes - too expensive, too much different class & too many drunken festival packs just out for a push and shout in a park.

Hmm. I didn't think the crowd was as bad as for Blur two years ago. Not quite so aggressively lary at least.
