Wouldn't say TIH is my all time No.1, that's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, but it's definitely my No.1 90's album. (It very very narrowly noses ahead of HnH because of the title track.)

Rattlesnakes, or 'Rattlesnake', as it turned out, definitely does exist.

& is very good.

Do you mean My Mistake or After You? There are two songs buried in this thread!

 ...erm... my mistake...

Listening to "After You" right now...

It's good.

I'm not blown away by it though. It's refreshing to hear a catchy hook in a Pulp song again, since Jarvis seemed to almost willfully avoid hooks on both TIH and WLL. It's definitely better than most of the material on WLL, but then, I'm probably WLL's biggest detractor on this board. 

And yes... I do think this song turned up here as part of a promotional campaign for Jarv's next move, whatever that move might be. "Trixy" might not even be aware that she's part of a viral marketing campaign. That's how these things work, you know. Welcome to the 21st century.

Eamonn...

 I'm not sure whether I should thank you or apologize to you. :)

I haven't been frequenting the message boards much lately. I'm just not that into music right now. I guess you could say I've "found new avenues of self-expression" or something.

Pulpqueenie and I are thinking about taking a roadtrip to chicago to see Jarvis at the Pitchfork Festival, and I think I can get backstage passes through some contacts there... and yet... even that doesn't have me too excited.

i think it's been 10 years since he did Toronto last.

Normally, they can't do a straight forward marketing campaign. Never mind a fucking 'viral' one!

 Viral campaigns are easy and free... like... you just have someone drop an ultra-rare mp3 online and make sure the fan messageboards know where to find it! Then someone sends an email to the NME. Then The Sun reads the NME, then people all over the world start texting each other, seemingly spontaneously: "OMG! Remember that band Pulp!? New song online! <3 them!"

It helps to have a cover story like "I stole these from my brother, I hope he doesn't find out because I'll get in big trouble!"

Despite what everyone else thinks, I'm still far from convinced it's not going to be a Pulp album.
Especially as, as you say, Girls Like It Too sounds very 'Pulpy'...
Although they've never rescued an old demo before, (no, wait, didn't that happen to Happy Endings?) it's just such a good song! Even more of a classic than Live On, I reckon. They'd be mad (& cruel!!) not to.

that might be the ripper remembering older values, though ...

maybe, maybe not, we'll see.

though, to add to you theory, there's something weird about those tracks. They are tagged "unknown album 26/11/2007". Isnt this weird considering Trixy apparently ripped those tracks the last few days ?

Jesus Crikey!!

This is not....and I repeat not!! a marketing kind of thing..... god damn!!

The tracks I uploaded were on my brothers computer, and the title is...unknown album.

I even had to ask how to upload the buggers from Andy!!!!

But all this has freaked me out, I thought I was doing you a favour....silly me!!

Sad Trixy

Seconded. Those tracks made my day.

^^^Don't pay attention to that stuff Trixy. I just want to personally thank you for sharing those tracks with us. They were really great!

Once more, well done.

(Sound of slow, sarcastic handclaps).

Is it a Bar Italia tradition, now, that when people claiming to be connected with the band show up - even people giving away entirely unexpected gifts you've been asking for for years - it's de rigeur for half of you to act the twat, with bonus points if you successfully convince the person never to come back again?

Honestly, I leave the forum alone for ONE FUCKING WEEK and people think it's fine to start accusing someone they've never met, who just gave them the most sought after Pulp song still left in the wild, of being a viral marketer. Do I have to start babysitting this place 24/7 or something? There have been trippings aplenty of the arse-o-meter in this thread.

Jesus, people.

thirded.

saw this coming though. and you just know the next one was going to be Cuckoo before we frightened her off...
