Pulp

[Brundlefly]

I know they don't really exist anymore as such, but no Pulp thread?

[Miss Blee]

Ooooh.... I do rather like Pulp....

I didn't like their last album though...

[Brundlefly]

We Love Life? No, well who did? But from Separations through to This is Hardcore is pure class.

I've yet to hear any of Relaxed Muscle though.

[Libra]

I saw the Common People clip on tv the other weekend... It made me feel like I was 14 again....
I still remember some of the moves to that "dance" bit too.

[Sid]

they were a fantastic piece of the britpop culture. very good :D

[Brundlefly]

I dont really see that. I mean, they were popular at the same time, and people called them britpop. But they never really fit in properly, they'd been around ages beforehand and Different Class still had a very 80s feel.

i know but everybody classes them kinda bands together within that category as such. like oasis, pulp, blur- i dunno why, i ashamed to say that i do :(

fair enough, I just fail to see a common thread, chronology aside, between the other Britpop bands and Pulp.

i can see what you mean now that you've told me they were around in the 80's and i guess its the smae for the rest of the perople who knew them before.but for others like me i only really noeticed pulp around that whole era so associate them with it. if you see what i mean. :)

[Vladivostok]

I love Jarvis!!! Hell, I still love Pulp, I know it's over still I cling to my copies of this is hardcore, his 'n' hers and Different Class :(

[Larsen B]

ive rediscovered my childhood love for them, they've been on 'The Amp' tv channel practically all week, :D

[tjej]

pulp are the best thing the 90s britpopness gave us

[Larsen B]

i dunno do The Verve count as britpop, they were pretty nifty

[Brundlefly]

If pulp count as britpop, then the verve definitly count. And good as they were, they werent as good. I just found Pulp on Fire in HMV for £5. Its a double CD collection of their early stuff on fire records.

[Vladivostok]

I've got the first four or five albums in a box, little blue box (anyone else?)

[Josefa_2533]

what about this band pulp?

[MaCC5]

Go away. :LOL:

Disco 2000 is great..

Others are poor, very poor.

Common People is very bad indeed.

[Gem]

Go away. :LOL:

Disco 2000 is great..

Common People is very bad indeed.
You go away.

[Josefa_2533]

great comments you guys..... well pulp is not that bad... there is a song.. babies but there is a spoken version... very good and the video is great too..
search for it... you wont regret it :)

[Superfuzz_Bigmuff]

You go away.

Agreed. Pulp dominate.

[ok_computer]

It's very sad that they split up!! Common People and their other stuff are so great!!

[ImaginaryVigil]

Pulp rock!

Common People is one of my fave songs. The message in that song is pretty deep. Very emotional really.

And who doesn't love Disco 2000 :p

[Larsen B]

Agreed. Pulp dominate.

Thirded. Different Class is just that, different class.

[Miss Blee]

Forthed, or whatever... Pulp are one of the best bands ever.

[Crisping Lover]

DC, TIH, H'n'H are all good albums... there was a good second class cd that came with the different class album for a limited time, and it goes to show their b-side were just as good, 'mile end' is a great song

older stuff from 'serperations' and 'freaks' are also pretty good

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Two pages? Shocking.
Finally got Different Class. :happy:

[Larsen B]

I'm re-interested in them now, been listening to Different Class all week. Top stuff, I just wonder what's going on with them now they're all on a break, I haven't heard any of Jarvis' other stuff yet...

Well I mean I know it's out there......I just haven't heard it....

[Arkanon]

Pulp is Pulp, the jarvis cocker style has no equal. I almost cryed when i saw him seenging again just for a second, in Harry Potter, and making again new songs, three new songs.

He said they will be back in a year, when they decide not to continue with Pulp, but the oficial site closed =(

Long life to Pulp.

[Bjorny]

Anyone else noticed that they are in the new Harry Potter film? They're the Weird Sisters, the band at the ball, unless I'm very much mistaken.

EDIT: Sorry, Just noticed the post above.

Ignore me, as usual. :D

[Caff]

Yeah Jarivs and is it Johnny Greenwood?...Only for like two seconds, which is hardly worth it..which is why I'm glad Franz were too busy to do it :p.

ANYWAY: Pulp woo yeah! I saw them at Leeds 2002, regret never seeing them on their own tour but that was an excellent set all the same. I am addicted to "This is Hardcore" right now - I always considered that the ultimate "fuck off Britpop" album.

I saw them on the Different Class tour at Sheffield Arena, first gig after Jarvis had mooned Whacko, so that'd be, ooooh, late '95, early '96. Classic gig. He came on and immediately did a Jacko impression. He was quite good, actually.

Fuck. 10 years ago. :stunned:

[Caff]

I know, I can remember the fuss about that incident first hand 0_o. Was that Brits episode broadcasted live? I can't remember...but the ridiculous MJ performances is still clear in my head, might be from pictures.

Yeah, I believe it was live. Genius.

Bob Mortimer apparently offered to represent Jarvis in court, but legged it when he saw the legal entourage that Jacko had with him. :LOL:

I read a lot about it for that Themes and Sources project I've just done. They were trying to get Jarvis done for GBH towards the kids in the performance any everything. The things people did to try and make Jacko look good and Jarvis look like a child harming monster! 0_o

But didn't know about the Bob Mortimer thing...ahaha ace.

[reenap]

My brother was obsessed with them. He used to go around warbling 'i want to sleep with common people like you' 24/7 when he was about 13....:LOL:

ahaha! my brother is/was completely obsessed with them. Can do all the Jarvis dancing..

But seriously I listen to Pulp loads at the mo... This is Hardcore is one of my favourite albums. No one writes a good epic anymore..

*feeling nostalgic*

[Elsie]

I just want Pulp to like..re-release Differernt classes or release a bast of and then play reading!

[_Ed_]

Different Class is one of my favourite albums ever, and Pulp could maybe sneak into my top 5 favourite bands...but I'll probably never see them live. :(

[Ril]

Umm you won't. They quit about 4 years ago. ;)


Only 2 pages? Disgusting! Where's Henk Cocker, that's what I'd like to know!

Listening to Different Class at work now. Now delightful. :happy:

[Gemsy]

pulp are the best thing the 90s britpopness gave us
:yesey:

[Ril]

Even though they started going in the 80s? ;)

You could say that about any band though.
Oasis started in the 80s. ;)

[Max]

Oasis started in the 80s. ;)

As did Nirvana. :yesey:

[_Ed_]

Umm you won't. They quit about 4 years ago. ;)

I know. But other bands have reformed. Thus the probably.

[destructiveaesthetic]

1. His 'N' Hers
2. Different Class
3. This is Hardcore

ALL being re-released on my birthday with b-sides and demos and other yummy goodness :D :D :D

http://www.gigwise.com/news.asp?contentid=20297

[RadioBread]

pulp actually started in the 70s, they formed in 1978

[~screenager~]

Given that he's a couple of months older than my mum, is it weird that I fancy Jarvis Cocker a bit?

[Ril]

You could say that about any band though.
Oasis started in the 80s. ;)
You can't say it about Muse. :p

[LittleMUSEalieN]

i luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve pulp!!!!!!! :D

[Larsen B]

Oasis started in the 80s. ;)

Though Pulp were commercially releasing stuff in the 80s... :p

[drops]

[Sian]

Nope see older man thread.

He is so hot in a nerdy way

[Cloud Cuckoo]

Old dead thread and all, but I just love this band so much. Jarvis lyrics are the greatests, so cynical and bitter. Matt could get a few tips from him, you know.

[WutDaFucksy]

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.

:happy:

[brian27]

Cocker still deserves so much praise for his moonie.

[Rage Kitty]

'Separations' is good ('My Legendary Girlfriend' is great)
'Intro' has my favourite Pulp song ever on it ('Razzmatazz')

[davetoms]

I wonder if this will happen?

http://www.nme.com/news/pulp/48056

[_Ed_]

Please, please, please...

Not that I'd be able to go.

[Gabijota]

Have you heard? :awesome: :dance:

OMG! HELL YES!!!!!!!

First Suede, now Pulp! My teenager years, my first musical loves! So much awesomeness! Honestly, those were my favourite bands and they're both coming back! OMG, can I handle this?

:D:D:D:happy::happy::happy:

[Waldo]

:awesome:

[Gabijota]

I almost had a heart attack when I've read it :LOL: I'm definitely buying tickets for concert in London, I don't care if I don't have money for getting to London, I will walk on foot if I need to :LOL:

[saski86]

Just heard they are reforming:dance:. That's so :awesome:. Pulp were my favourite band from my early twenties and 'Different Class' is one of my favourite ever albums.

Pulp > Oasis and Blur :yesey:. I am so going to see them live.

[sparkle19]

This is AMAZING. I spaffed when I read it.

[Liron]

Happy days :awesome:

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

I'm hoping they play Glastonbury next year.

[Caff]

I saw a version of Pulp at a festival in 2002 but I'm guessing this one is the original line-up and that one wasn't?

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

I saw a version of Pulp at a festival in 2002 but I'm guessing this one is the original line-up and that one wasn't?

Pulp had been going a couple of decades before they split and have had all sorts of members over the years. So the original lineup had nothing to do with what they are famous for.

Apparently it's the lineup during Different Class that are getting back together and that was only 1 person different from what you'd have seen in 2002 I think.

[davetoms]

I wonder if the two festivals will be it or if they'll do any more gigs.

[sparkle19]

I sure hope they do a non festival gig.

[Gabijota]

I'm ok even with a festival gig, buying tickets on Thursday :awesome: :dance:

[L.]

I'm hoping they play Glastonbury next year.

This.

[vibrantXhearts]

Yes, this please.

Plus a million to glastonbury.

Yeah I'm aware of their history and longevity ;p - just was confused cos one of the press releases I saw said "the first time they have performed together since 1995" which threw me cos in 2002 it was definitely billed as Pulp and not Jarvis as a solo artist.

[Ally101]

This is so cool. How much will tickets be?

[Gabijota]

I know that tickets for Wireless festival will cost ~50 pounds :happy:

[_Ed_]

:awesome:
I hope they make it down this way.

[davetoms]

If anybody has a Barclaycard the Wireless Festival has a 2 for 1 offer available for 9am tomorrow - Wednesday.
Tickets for the Sunday (the day Pulp headline) appear to go on presale Thursday at 9am.

[saski86]

Just got 2 tickets for Hyde Park:awesome:. Can't wait:dance:

[Gabijota]

I bought a ticket this morning, but I wanted to buy two, one for my friend, but everytime I tried to search for two tickets, system wouldn't find anything. Oh well, at least I managed to get ticket for myself :LOL:

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

£50!?


Jarvis you sell out. :noey:

[Gabijota]

Together with postage and some strange additional fees, I paid 57 pounds in total, even more then for Muse at Wembley :stunned:

[Max]

£50!?


Jarvis you sell out. :noey:

To be fair, it's a festival...and it's Wireless festival. :indiff: I wish they'd just can it.

It's still a ridiculous price but it's not surprising in the slightest.

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

Well they are advertising it as "Pulp", nothing else announced.

[Max]

Well they are advertising it as "Pulp", nothing else announced.

They will next year I think. It's [bigging up the Pulp announcement] a cheap way of getting it to sell out quickly I guess.

Wireless is weird anyway, from previous experience, the fact there are bands playing other stages makes it a festival technically but the headliner is allowed no competitors in their slot...so it feels like an outdoor gig from that point. I dunno, at least that was how it was in 2008 when Morrissey headlined.

Either way, I might just hold out and pray for them playing Glastonbury.

That would be awesome. Pulp + Radiohead headlining (I hope) on the same weekend would cause a brain explosion.

Isn't it like £2 a minute for this kind of talk?

Fnar fnar.

[miss_meadows]

OMG, I'm hoping for more gigs on the continent. We want some Jarvis as well.:$:LOL::LOL:

[L.]

Pulp has confirmed that they will be a saturday headliner at the IOW festival.

+ this tweet from Jarvis yesterday....

"Glastonbury 2011 Tickets already sold out. And I was really hoping to go. What to do, what to do...."

Just say it will you! :LOL:

[dip]

subheadlining iow.

What a tease :LOL:

[rawrsomesauce]

Jarvis has twitter?

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I figured why not eh? I saw them at Reading after getting their greatest hits + Different Class. Must admit, I fell in love with Pulp and their music. After Reading, I went out and got His N Hers, This Is Hardcore and most recently, We Love Life. I think Sunrise is probably one of the best outros to an album, ever.

[Futurellama]

Aaah man when the thread was bumped I thought there was a new tour or something :(

[rawrsomesauce]

There are rumours of something being announced in February over on the Bar Italia forum

[Futurellama]

announced in February? That just isn't soon enough :LOL:

[Gabijota]

Jarvis has twitter?

http://twitter.com/#!/NotJarvisCocker
I don't know if this is really Jarvis tweeting, but the way this person writes, seems very much like him. He doesn't tweet very often though.
I hope all these rumours about some kind of announcement in February are true, I'd love to see Pulp live again :happy:

The username does say "Not Jarvis Cocker" :chuckle:

Would like to see them after I missed out on tickets in the summer but they played at (almost) all the major festivals, so any UK date would have to be something special.

[Gabijota]

The username does say "Not Jarvis Cocker" :chuckle:

I know, but I thought that was part of joke, just seems like something Jarvis would do :chuckle:

[dip]

Apparently playing cochella and they have something planned in sheffield in a weird venue with around 10,000 capacity.

[forevermusic]

They've confirmed Coachella on their website.

Hoping for a UK date, even if it'll probably be nowhere near me (Sheffield is still a fair distance off)

[Gabijota]

I'm hoping for date at Sheffield so much, I've been waiting for them to play here since I moved to Sheffield :chuckle:
