It's not my favourite on the album but c'mon, it's so powerful! It perfectly captures the themes of the album. It's so ballsy. The lyrics are fabulous. It's a staggering steam engine of a song, powered by those incredible keys. It's rich, it's textured, Jarvis's vocals are excellent, the whole packa...

On youtube music (though it may be on other streaming services), on the 2012 version of Seperations, the version of Countdown is an alternate take / remix. It is completely unlabeled as an alternate version, but it is one. No, it isn't the extended mix, its a completely different take. Link - https...

Wow did i miss pulp played a new song at shows ? I did Northern Hymn Sounds pretty cool. To me its not « single » material, so that probably means they have more. It also doesnt sound like a song from an EP but something out of something bigger. Are they preparing a new album ? Sounds like a big closer song fro...

Did it work? I can't decide.

The final UK shows of this tour - so far, at least. Expecting any new songs to enter the mix? Like Brixton back in 2011? I'll be in London on Saturday - meeting up with my gf who's off doing a work experience thing right now - don't know if I'll have a chance to say hi to everyone, but if I don't, hope you all have...

It looks like all pulpyness is finished now. And I noticed back in May this forum's visitors record jumped up and up!

So we know that the band have shows booked until late November, but what do you think will happen after that? I think that they will do some more non-UK shows in 2024 as per the last reunion then do a couple of nights in London or Sheffield. It might be too much to ask that they do something similar to The Divi...

Your Sister's Clothes is probably one of Pulp's greatest ever songs - to me at least it is, anyway - and while I'm aware of the story behind it, with it being a sequel to Babies (where the sister 'gets her own back'), the lyrics and their perspective aren't particularly clear. "You watch her when she's go...

Hi, folks! While we anticipate Pulp's sets tonight and tomorrow at Hammersmith (some of us, sadly, from our bedrooms) - here's something else to chat about.

Did anyone else pick up on that Instagram statement from Steve - that he and Jarvis had remastered the entire Universal back catalogue? I just re-read the statement, and don't remember picking up on that ? Needless to say, either an anthology or reissues are on the way.

Well, what do you think? I have had a few listens over the past week and I think it's a good album, the last two songs are my favourites. The majority of songs are quite fast, if you're looking for Suede ballads, look elsewhere. Brett described it as a "Punk album" which is quite accurate, in some places it...
