Why are Pulp so unpopular now?

^Doesn't deserve to see them^

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

well, no one buys music anymore... you're not that unpopular if you can headline Reading/Leeds

find new friends-alert!

my friend is fine, i just moved to San Francisco in 1995 and he lost touch of good music.

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.

Hahaha oh my can you imagine?! Jarvis probably has his own apt in NYC. I certainly would if I were him.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

I didn't find out about the whole Montreal having bagels to rival NY's until after we'd gone there. :/ Next time.

ENBB, I wish I had time to show you some good silent comedies while you were here ;)

(or even pre-1990)

E - I do bodyguard work on the side, btw. ;D

Morbs!!! *shakes fist*

I like a lot of pre 1990 movies. I promise!

In truth though I wish you did too.

wow, Jeffrey Lewis is a curious opening act for the Music Hall

Wait.

Jeffery Lewis is opening for Pulp?!

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?

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.

Radio City is too big for him though. That's going to be weird.

*plup*

hate u

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".

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.

x-post - Aw, cute.

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!

happy to FAP away beforehand if it's an option!

Really unfortunate acronym.

I know, I love it.

And guess who has tickets for the standalone LA area show...

Yay Ned!! You sent me that great disc of bsides years ago so it bummed me to think you might not be there.

Haha thank you for that reminder, I really couldn't recall who I'd sent those to. And yay indeed!

Haha yes one was me. I lost the disc but the songs live on! (Groan..)

I saw the NYC posters yesterday and did a doubletake re: Jeffrey opening. (He is friend o' mine though no relation, sometimes we draw comics together and talk abt The Fall). I think I will ask Jeffrey if he can wheedle any Scott Walker gossip out of Cocker for me...

BTW Haymarket Pizza in Boston is v v delicious, my wife took me there when we were visiting her fam

> I didn't find out about the whole Montreal having bagels to rival NY's until after we'd gone there. :/ Next time.

Ahh, St. Viateur in Montreal is the bagel capital of the world. NYC only thinks it is.....

x-post - Ha! I will look into it. Don't think I have had it before. :)

Okay folks this just got posted on my FB feed:

Tonight at the Albert Hall, Pulp performed "My Lighthouse" for the first time since around 1984, with Jarvis' sister, and one of his schoolfriends, on vocals.

I freely admit I would be bowled over if they did that out here. Now to search YouTube...

I was there. It was a fine night all round. Enjoyed Jarvis' comment before "I Spy" that he had been waiting his whole life to play that song in this venue, and the on-screen questions before they came on asking 'how many holes does it take to fill this place?'. Only disappointment compared to the London show I went to last year was no "Wickerman" this time.

Seem to be in the minority but I really like some of the early stuff. I wouldn't mind hearing "Blue Girls" and "I Love Love" too....

And indeed:
