Why are Pulp so unpopular now?

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:

Pulp were apparently on Fallon last night:

No sound on my work computer but I might just watch it anyway!

I may have just made a high pitched excitable noise and started flapping my hands with excitement as I heard the first couple notes of that. omg. Tomorrow. TOMORROW!! I honestly haven't been this excited to see a show since 1997.

Hahaha, me neither. I think there's something about bands you fall in love with as a teenager. Squee!!

Also bands you've loved for years and years and have never seen live before!

Right, of course! Jealous of those at tonight's show but at least we'll have an idea of when they'll be going on, for tomorrow!
Pretty much unable to concentrate today.

Yeah, same.

Compare/contrast:

Ohh, that brought back memories for me. I think I had that on VHS once upon a time!

Hey guys, a show anywhere near the mid-Atlantic east coast area would be nice

NY was pretty mid-Atlantic last time I checked, dude. :/

yeah I'm coming from Toronto! Since they wouldn't come closer, I decided to..

opening act for tonight's is the Chromatics ... their new album is pretty great and they supposedly were great last night at Le Bain ... but I dunno how Chromatics at Radio City will come off. (probably said about every opening act at Radio City ever)

I am never going to see them again, am I? Bleurgh.

Where do you live, Nicole? I am bad at keeping track of these things.

Detroit. I just do not have the time/money to make a New York trip.
