2026 European Summer Festivals
(Preview)
In the last few days, Pulp have been announced for Beauregard (Normandy) 02/07/26 & Mad Cool (Madrid) on Saturday 11/07. The latter also has Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and David Byrne on the same day as Pulp! Given that it takes two or three trucks to lug Pulp's gear around, I guess another festiv...

2015 Russell Senior Interview
(Preview)
I have just stumbled across this article which I don't think I have seen before. I don't think that the quote "I'd run out of juice and judging by the album sales the rest had too after I left" is justified. They released "This is Hardcore" a year after he left which was still a number 1 album and sold quite...

UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Songs that somehow could be by Pulp (but they weren't)
(

)
(Preview)
Hello! As a new member of this illustrious forum, here's my contribution: A first list of songs where I find a clear influence of the best band in Sheffield (and the world). I mean, a STRONG influence. Someone else is encouraged to add any?: Hanging Out With Her - Baxendale Contact Lenses - Baxendale Ne...

Forget About Tina, Get In A Bad Mood
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
I'm still in a funny relationship with the song Grown-Ups (we do like each other but are wary). The mid-section(s) has plenty of lyrical zingers but the line "Forget about Tina, get in a bad mood" got me thinking - have we ever had a classic ****er call-back before? Self-referencing can of course come i...

You were j...

Black Session '95 Pics
(Preview)
In my mind's eye, I've never visualised the venue of some of Pulp's best recordings as an old Parisienne sports hall. Pretty neat pics though, huh? https://www.instagram.com/p/CGWrBYKHQ3G/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

Pulp YouTube Clips
(Preview)
Thought it might be an idea to have a thread on newly discovered Pulp video clips online. This seems to be a hitherto undocumented TV appearance, (no sign of it mentioned on the Wiki anyway) performing/miming Misshapes on some show called "Adam", from somewhere in Europe (Germany? Scandinavia?)....

Aperture: Choose Your Own Adventure
(Preview)
I loved the Disco 2000 video and still wish I lived inside it. I am still drawn to anything that resembles its stylings. One of the ways I inhabited it in my imagination over the years was to wonder which of the covers Id select for the aperture cover. I role played this a thousand times. Here I am 30 years la...

New ('95 Vintage) Alternate Disco 2000 Video!
(Preview)
Of all the Different Class 30 chatter, this is probably the most visceral hitherto unseen reminder of the era. Take a bow (in hindsight) , Jarvis. Being mesmerising through hand-movements and facial expressions while being seated on the same chair for almost five minutes! Youtube embedding not wo...

2025 Setlist Reflections
(Preview)
So what did you all think and would you change anything for 2026? My thoughts are as follows: It was great to hear songs from "More" before and after it was released and there was a bit of rotation between the songs. It would have been nice to hear "Background Noise" and "Hymn of the North" as they have chan...

Desperate Journalist - The Fear
(Preview)
Desperate Journalist just did a special version of The Fear tonight for the encore of their Sheffield show. It was absolutely phenomenal. Possibly even better than the original. Definitely the best Pulp cover I've ever heard. Even better than Bon Bon Club's Love Is Blind. I don't think anyone was r...

Some Unofficial (and very poor) Remixes
(Preview)
About 25 years ago, I made some unofficial remixes of Pulp material. Sadly, these were lost on an old hard-drive. Well, I had a couple of hours spare earlier so thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and have another go. I did use AI to separate some vocals and instrumentals out. You can certainly tell I...

IT:s cold Black Magic
(Preview)
Black Magic - one of my Favourite Jarvis songs - is the song accompanying the new TV and for 'IT: Welcome to Derry'. To mitigate the risk of this being one of those threads with an interesting fact but no further discussion.... what other Jarvis / Pulp songs have featured in commercials?

Pulp References
(Preview)
The other day, I was listening to a new band called Vincent's Last Summer. I thought that the inspiration for that name may have come from the Pulp song "David's Last Summer". Turns out it does and the singer apparently attempts to impersonate Jarvis on stage. Additionally, the band that has been supp...

Party Hard Single Version
(Preview)
Has it ever been established why "Party Hard" is different on the single as opposed to the album? Some Pulp songs sound slightly different on the singles due to the mastering but they are still the same songs. "Party Hard", however, has definitely been altered; it is faster, the vocals are higher in th...
