Current Random Thoughts

Can I just apologise for the length of this essay- I don't think Ive ever written anything this long on the forum, but Ive had a few thoughts over the past day or so and I wanted to get them off my chest and see what your opinions are Firstly, when Pulp got together in 2011, I remember at the time thinking tha...

Freak Out the Squares buying guide
(Preview)
what constitutes a good price on FOTS these days? have had alerts set up for a few weeks - best i've seen was a price cut to $36/£30 the other day which got snapped up pretty quickly. Would have cost me about double after factoring in overseas shipping, I could've had it delivered to family in london but he...

Hymn of the North - Further Info
(Preview)
I have just stumbled across these on YouTube from 2019. The piano in the background certainly sounds like it is from "Hymn of the North" and Jarvis provides some further info about it in the interview. It's just a shame that the full song isn't included. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

On the 'Hits' cover...
(Preview)
...who is actually who? OK, so Nick, Candida and Jarvis are obvious. But the others are a bit harder. I reckon that from left to right, it's Nick - Candida - Russell - Steve - Mark - Jarvis Russell isn't patterned like the others because he'd left the band. His silhouette is just black. And Steve is tal...

Pulp and the Happy Mondays
(Preview)
For years now I've thought that Pulp's input from 1988 and 1993 was similar to the Happy Mondays? A lot of songs from this era of Pulp have a Happy Monday feel to them e.g. the album version of Countdown and the Vince Clarke remix of Wrote for Luck, His N Hers and Bob's Yer Uncle and Lipgloss and Kinky Afro. P...

Season's greetings

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their he...

Lipgloss - Ian Broudie Remix Additional Information

So tonight, I had the pleasure of meeting the one and only Ian Broudie, Mr Lightning Seeds himself in Liverpool at the British Music Experience down at Pierhead, Liverpool. It was a similar type of setup to the Nick Banks talk at Oh Me Oh My, with a Q and A at the end. I am fortunate that Ian "knows" me, and so...

My erection (THE SONG!)
(Preview)
Anyone else think that this basically evolved into Party Hard? First things first, you have Steve dialled up high in the mix, with a repetitive bassline composed of, like, three notes. Then there's Mark's Fenderised buzzing wall of sound and Jarvis singtalking through a vocoder. And the lyrics are...

What's your favourite bit of Dante's classic book- No of course not! I finally managed to get onto TDC forum but it appears to have come to a standstill over a dead cat. So: what's you favourite DC song/album? For me it's Absent Friends album and Our Mutual Friend song.

Recurring Lyrics
(Preview)
I was just listening to "First Man In Space" that Jarvis wrote for the All Seeing I in 1999. Lyrically, it's effectively an extension of the Pulp song "Space" and there are a some lyrics that appear in both. Pulp: "Space is cold when you're on your own" ASI: "Space is cold but home is colder when you come ho...

Dolores O'Riordan/Sinéad O'Connor/Shane MacGowan RIP
(Preview)
Such sad, unexpected news yesterday about Dolores O'Riordan passing away at such a young age. And just a few months too, after another 90's pop-cultural Irish staple of British life, Sean Hughes also died before his time. Both played footnotes in Pulp's own story, the band miming in the background o...

So: how do we actually feel about Ed Buller's production for Pulp?

Ahh, this old chestnut. A very polarising subject indeed. I'd be interested to know where the majority opinion lies... -- Edited by lipglossed on Thursday 30th of November 2023 05:53:33 PM
