I think The Seven Inches would go down well with Pulp fans. They really should be massive.

Now if only I could figure out WHICH Pulp song Baustelle are ripping off for Charlie Fa Surf.
(starting from about 0:20 .... this sounds almost like a direct lift ...) I was thinking We Can Dance again but that's not it ...

Oh yes! It's Like a Friend.

I dont hear the Like a Friend bit at all.
I love this band and was very surprised that someone mentioned them on this board. They do remind me of The Dears, if anyones heard their stuff.

It's just this instrumental bit at the end of like a friend and it lasts for like 4 seconds but it IS there.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, bands quote / rip off all the time.
I like them, though.
The Dears are very good, too.

I also love the Dears. One of the best live bands I've seen in quite a while.

I don't know how any Pulp fan could possibly stomach The Long Blondes. Posh London students with Pulp obsession move to Sheffield to try and emulate everything about Pulp in the most contrived way possible? Eg. lyrical themes, vocal delivery, artwork, "fashion style" (that is the most laughable bit). UGH I think I was just actually sick.



I love The Auteurs. And I love Elvis Costello and the Attractions.

 Well, Russell Senior & Steve Mackey obviously liked them!

Funnily enough, the other day I found a very old demo cassette (8 years ago, I was 15!!) of my own trying-too-hard-to-be-Pulp phase.

No, you can't hear it. It's shite smile.gif

Sorry for bringing this back up after 15 years, but ever since the mention here of the band Baustelle, they've become a band I keep up with. 

Their most recent release is clearly ripping off Common People.

Erm top of my heads - Talking Heads, Pixies, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Wolf Alice, Beabadoobee, Mazzy Star, Joy Division, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, bits and pieces of 90s Radiohead all on rotation. Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz, and Interpol were a couple of past favourites I've now grown past (although 'Demon Days' and 'Turn on the Bright Lights' are as good as anything from the 2000s).

Of course none of those bands are much like Pulp, save for perhaps the Heads and Beatles. Wolf Alice are easily my favourite group of more 'recent' times, I understand the scepticism of any music out of North London but they really matured and achieved something with 'Blue Weekend'. Best album of 2021 for me.

love that a thread from 2008 is revived lmao?

i think recent artists i enjoy are caroline polachek, perfume genius, weyes blood, mr twin sister, john maus. older stuff in my rotation ranges, eno, sparks, roxy music, the smiths, s uicide, prince. i LOVE YMO. i will say there is some dude in my larger social circle that feels somewhat pulp-esque in terms of seediness, in a 2023 revivalist indie sleaze kind of way, called 'the dare' who ive been listening to a bit lately? but otherwise i dont think much of the music i like has a lot in common with pulp weirdly either

I discovered an artist called Andrew Cushin as I clicked him on YouTube by mistake. I liked what I heard so started following him and bought what was available. I also went to see him live earlier this year. He has worked with Peter Doherty and Liam Gallagher and has recently released an album which made number 69. I think that, with a bit more promotion through a major label, he will be quite big in future.

Sparks was sheer joyful pandemonium!! The reaction in Brisbane for them was amazing - They were taken aback. Last show of their world tour. I'm on such a high this morning!! Its funny the last 2 nights I've seen Paul McCartney and then Sparks - 2 icons.
