Prediction time - Olympic opening ceremony.

They should be the first band to play on the moon. It would only be fair after the amount of times Jarvis has mentioned it in song.

They could release a DVD and it'd be called "Somewhere Like The Moon".

Going by Jarvis's comments from Splendour last night up in Queensland - Their reunion may be shortlived Jarvis told the huge crowd that This could be the last time we ever play in Australia but theres no sense that the band is simply churning through a back catalogue of old hits. I dont think we will ever get them back in Australia. sigh**

 You do remember it wasn't that long ago when he was saying that Pulp wouldn't reform at all?!

I guess it just comes down to how much they've enjoyed themselves.

They certainly look it, but man, how repetitious the set lists have looked! I just remember Candida et al's paraphrased comments in Truth and Beauty: how they'd sooner pack it all in than play "Disco 2000" and "Babies" again after such intense touring...

Can you imagine Jarvis recording another solo album after all this is over? And if so, will he miss the sort of response that currently greets "Do You Remember the First Time?" when he's striking the opening chords of "Pilchards"?

Of course, it's not entirely his call. Either way, I think it'll be within the next couple of years or never again. Frequent 'reunions' will enable them to plumb the depths of their catalogue a little more without feeling (perhaps) obliged to pummel the hits.

I just hope they dont go the way The Pixies have done. When did they start playing again? 2004? and they're still wandering around the globe playing Doolittle. I hope Jarvis keeps up his solo stuff - its different to Pulp and I hope he keeps doing interesting things - I have this weird thing and have for a number of years, what if Pulp and or Jarvis made a record with Eno. Could be well interesting.

well, he also hinted that they may be returning for their fifth Glastonbury next year, so who knows?

 Ooh why so harsh on Candida? Isn't she studying to be a counsellor or something?

I sadly think there won't be an other pulp album..
For me this dates just represent the proper Hits tour they should have played when the Hits cd & dvd came out almost 10 years ago.
They seem not to be into disco pop songs these days (see jarvis LPs..). I can't imagine a modern "Rock" album of pulp.. (as WLL or TIH)
And can you remember the "NOOO " from candida on BBC6, few months ago, as asked if new music could come out ?

I may be desilusioned... but i still believe in a Paris extra date !

Sarah, Oh I wasnt being harsh! Dam internet - when they toured Australia last, Nick and Jarvis did this tv show and the interviewer asked them what they were doing on their days off in Australia and Jarvis said Candida would go around to Fabric shops and pick up little swatches of fabric to make a patchwork quilt....it was in reference to that. No Candida is really cool and SO GLAD she kept up the sparkles for their reunion gigs!
