i have to go, i think, not sure if he is going to be into that price however. i reminded him earlier today that he has seen Pulp before because they opened for Blur at the Palace way back when. he has good memories of that show but really doesn't know Pulp.
Ned are you going to go? would like to finally say hello if all goes well in the convincing.

so i get a text back from my friend "I'm out for the show. They r a Suede ripoff band."
so i text back saying that they are much better than Suede (though i love them) with a dance element and that he will not be disappointed. so right now it doesn't look good. i told him he needs to listen to Different Class
sigh...

also point out they were going for almost fifteen years before Suede's first single

Attention:
Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of Pulp, will play live on the Whitney Museum's fourth floor, according to a source with knowledge of the event. The British musician will perform Apr. 5–8 with his side project, Relaxed Muscle, alongside Michael Clark's dance company, organized as part of the Whitney Biennial.Cocker formed Relaxed Muscle in 2002, following Pulp's break up. He performs as "Darren Spooner," using a violent performance style and over-the-top goth costumes and make-up. The group has maintained a relatively low profile since their sole album release in 2003.Pulp reunited in 2011 after a nine-year hiatus and is slated to play at next month's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.Tickets are required to attend, and advance tickets are sold out. A limited number of tickets become available each day of the performance.

Awww!
E MAYBE PULP ARE STAYING IN OUR HOTEL. Clearly the reunion of bands I liked when I was a teenager sends me shooting right back into teenage mode.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:17 (twelve years ago) link
Hahaha oh my can you imagine?! Jarvis probably has his own apt in NYC. I certainly would if I were him.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
You've got a good point. Celebrities: they're not like us!
I was looking up our hotel and apparently that is where Don Draper lived when Betty kicked him out. Except for how they filmed it all in California. Yay.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
Hahah really? Sweet. I figured if we were going to pay the same for that or a best western or holiday inn we might as well stay somewhere with character!
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:41 (twelve years ago) link
omg so excited
Realized hadn't registered that in a while
going outfit shopping this weekend!!! What time does your bus get in, btw? I'm gonna try to persuade K that we should leave really early. I want as much time in NYC as possible.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry pulp thread - A, you can msg me offboard if you want. :)
Yeah, I'm quite excited to see it! And everything else! I'm so glad I finally got a passport and can wander around outside of Canada.
LOL this is "our" Pulp thread now. This is related to their tour! I get in at something ridiculous like 8AM! I don't know what I want to do. I'm just excited to get to do it!
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
lol We'll probably leave arond 7 or 8 and get there around 11 or 12. We'll have to come up with some sort of plan between now and then. YAY!
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:50 (twelve years ago) link
w00t!! (I promise not to w00t IRL.) I suspect my first stop will be to find some sort of cafe with wifi so that I can tweet about drinking a latte and eating a bagel in NYC on a beautiful, sunny, spring morning. :D
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:01 (twelve years ago) link
BAGEL
omg
THAT IS ON MY LIST. I must have a real bagel and real pizza. NY Pizza for dinner, please? You have no idea how bad Boston pizza is.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:11 (twelve years ago) link
That's pretty funny.. there's a chain here called Boston Pizza - don't know if it's worldwide or not. Terrible pizza :( I'm up for a NYC slice! I am a bagel freak and sought them out in Montreal.. could not find any other than crappy coffee shop ones! I WILL HAVE AN AMAZING BAGEL, thanks.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:17 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't find out about the whole Montreal having bagels to rival NY's until after we'd gone there. :/ Next time.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
ENBB, I wish I had time to show you some good silent comedies while you were here ;)

I like a lot of pre 1990 movies. I promise!
In truth though I wish you did too.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
wow, Jeffrey Lewis is a curious opening act for the Music Hall
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 29 March 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
Wait.
Jeffery Lewis is opening for Pulp?!
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Thursday, 29 March 2012 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
I actually really like JL but that just seems like a very odd choice all around.
He opened for solo Jarvis a couple of years ago in the UK

Never heard of this dude, but enjoying the youtubes I clicked. Recommendations?
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 29 March 2012 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
I will get some for you from RS. He's a bigger fan though I have seen him live and he was enjoyable. I'm not hell bent on getting there early enough to see him though esp if we arrange a FAP and it would mean having to leave early.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Thursday, 29 March 2012 17:41 (twelve years ago) link
Radio City is too big for him though. That's going to be weird.

FFM you can check out The Chelsea Hotel Oral Sex Song or anything else off of "The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane".
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Thursday, 29 March 2012 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
Alright!
Lex fact: My Dad calls them Plup because when I was a kid I always wanted a 'Big Glup' at 711. I'm 29 now.. he did it the other night when I told him about this concert :)

'Chelsea hotel oral sex' maybe the weirdest Youtube search I've ever done - glad I can youtube on my phone rather than work computer!
Liking it so far.

Oh god sorry for the many posts. But yes, since we have seats I am in no rush to get there early - happy to FAP away beforehand if it's an option!
