But Jarvis did say at the Fantastic Mr Fox premiere that he wont be doing anything musically for the next year so i don't think he has any plans to record any new album material at all.
I agree with you there... Glasto is really commercial, tickets are really expensive and it's sold out... It would be very disappointing for most of us who are not going!
Would be much better to have something nicer like the Magna gig back in the days...
"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. Or even the day after...but sometime soon..."
Okay, maybe not "soon" as such ;)
I think they should go similar to the Blur thing, in that it should be their own show, not part of a festival. That'd leave enough room for 'hits' (both of them!) & more obscure & important fan favourites.
Hopefully a much longer & more varied set than Auto. Varied as in era, I seem to remember Auto being almost entirely His'N'Hers, with nothing pre-Island & TIH particularly under-represented.

The HnH heavy setlist was a welcome change, frankly. Its been a long time since Pulp played Happy Endings or Lipgloss.The songs from TIH are probably the most widely performed and available.
The surprise song at Auto was 59 Lyndhurst Grove. Did the recording of that song ever turned up? I believe it's the only song they played that hasn't been broadcast on BBC.

I've often wondered that too. I've kinda spliced the broadcasts together to make an almost complete concert but ths one is the missing link! It'd be good to hear how it sounded after all that time as well.

I don't remember being too impressed with the performance, honestly. It was great to hear it live, but its not really a song that lends itself to a huge room. There seemed to be a lot of chatter during the song, or at least there was a lot of chatter around me.

No one´s dead, are they?
Sadly, I heard recently that Peter Boam died in 2006.
Sad to hear Peter Boam has passed way. The first Pulp album is the one I've played the most over the years. I think that's because I played it incessantly when it was first released. I believe Peter played on that album, it's a good one.

I think it would be as well. The Pulp line up I identified the most with was the Manners/Candida/Jarv/Russell/Magnus one. I saw them play lots & lots of times whilst they were together. Y'know it's a shame the production on the 'Freaks' album wasn't up to scratch because that line up was really entertaining to watch live, it just didn't work out when it came round to recording them. The first EP turned out the best of all their recordings IMO. When 'Freaks' came out I remember talking to Nick Banks about it at the bus stop after a practice. He'd heard the album before me & he reckoned it was too bassy/dirgy. I took his comments with a pinch of salt until I heard the finished album....and he was right. Mind you, the budget for recording the album was very, very low. I think Russell told me it was something like £600, which was shit, even for the mid 1980's. Anyway, it'd be cool if they got back together again as part of a Pulp reunion.Might get volatile though...

I had this weird dream a few weeks ago. It was a photoshoot to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Different Class and was set up like a school photograph. So, you had the DC era Pulp (including Russell) where the teachers would go in the middle, ex-members and associated persons ie Richard Hawley and your good self, Stephen, partners and kids and associated family members, people who have strong connections to the band ie Alex Deck, Geoff Travis, Richard Priest on the surrounding tiers. Then there would be a few "Pulp People" scattered about. I remember being stuck on an upper tier about 3 people away from Mark Sturdy.
