I saw this recently via the Bloomsbury mailout announcing the newest 33 1/3's that are to be published in the coming year and thought I would share. This is Hardcore is on track for an early 2024 release. Authored by Jane Savidge - they have also published 'Here They Come With Their Make Up On' (still gotta read this) and 'Lunch With The Wild Frontiers'.
Some 33 1/3's are more enjoyable and interesting than others but about time a Pulp album is explored via this series with Jane at the helm. Also highly recommend Dylan Jones 'Faster Than A Cannonball : 1995 And All That' - chapter on Jarvis being the most famous man in the UK + YBA's + Blair + The Beatles etc. Devoured that one.
As the go-to Pulp guy for media soundbytes and cultural writers, shouldn't you be on the Pulp Payroll by now? You could handle all the 2023 requests for official comments and press interviews.
£5k a month from May-December with backstage passes x4 to every show they play. What would you say?
It's funny, till recently I was never asked to be do this sort of thing (other than a bit for Life Death and Supermarkets which ended up on the cutting room floor, thank god). Then in the past couple of years there's been a few. I guess now some of the A Listers are tiring of being asked about all that stuff, they have to cast the net a bit wider. Long may the barrel-scraping continue!
