I feel like shit right now. I don't know how I made it home from Bethnal Green without just falling to bits. All I could think of was that bloody James Blunt song, especially the last line.
"I guess it time to face the truth, that I will never be with you"
I want to cry so badly, but nothing's coming out.
God I feel like an idiot. And I bought him flowers.
If you see me on Thursday, buy me a drink. I think I'll need at least a couple to get through the gig.
Oh, BTW, I think that's all folks. I think after Electric Picnic they are going to wrap it up, well at least that's what I could get from Mark. Let's hope Brixton is a knock-out.
If anyone is interested the next one is 13th September, the day before his birthday. I might buy him a present. A jumper would be nice.
not that I am faulting their abilites as composers, I love all of the albums, but we love life, was kind of down the hill, with some fab songs, but not as strong as the others. (I am sure a lot of you will wanna shoot me, OOPS!!)
I wouldn't be suprised if they leave us long suffering fans hanging for at least another 5 or 6 years before saying anything. I'm grateful for this year and looking forward to something special from them tomorrow night. Then I'm happy to sit back and wait and see what transpires.
Don't be horrible. I wouldn't want that at all. He's really happy, and that's all I ever want him to be.
But thanks for the hugs guys. You are the best.
I'd rather they try, even if it resulted in a so-so album, it'd still probably be better than anything else gracing the cover of NME these days... (nod to another post) - I mean, what's the point of getting back for a few months and then just calling it quits? (especially considering those of us on the other side of the ocean haven't seen them yet) Pavement basically did the same thing last year and it was really kinda disenchanting. Conversely Dinosaur Jr have made two great, faithful albums since reforming, it's not always bad..

Haha, I'm absolutely sympathetic, but everyone else seems to have switched to the "should Pulp end" topic. And for the record, We Love Life is probably the second best Pulp record.
Stalkers hang around outside houses and call constantly (i've had a couple of stalkers...) going to your favourite guitarist's public film night is not stalking. I used to go to Jarvis and Steve's club, and I'm no stalker!
whilst it's obvious to the universe that Sarah has a massive crush on Mark, she's not a stalker either!
I once leapt out at Jarvis when he came to open an art's centre in our local park, and interupted the proceedings to ask him to sign my vinyl copy of Further Complications. Does that make me a stalker? (The people around me definitely looked at me like I was)
This is getting a bit out of hand. I don't want to upset anyone at all, but I think this forum should maybe get back to the topic of Pulp's music. Bar the few "Jarvis has a beard!" and "Jarvis is getting divorced!" threads, the great thing about this forum is how pleasantly serious it is. A mature appreciation of the band in question, with many people chipping in with bootlegs, rare tracks, and also their knowledge and opinions regarding the group. This is what most band forums lack (and is why most band forums are utterly unbearable), and it would be nice to retain as much of this as possible on here.
OK, Ok, maybe we should wrap this thread up. But I just want to leave you with one last thought.
Roses have sharp and cruel thorns. The more beautiful the rose the sharper the thorn. Even the most experienced gardeners will find themselves scratched, and though they should be used to it, each little barb hurts and can cut deep. But every scratch, every cut, every drop of blood is worth it though, because the roses are so beautiful.
Sorry for any offense, I wasn't being serious at all, but you folks weren't to know that in hindsight. Apologies. Just joined to get the latest info etc.

But... that doesn't sound very exciting! I'm off to create an utterly frivolous thread...
I like this thread. Who hasn't fancied someone unattainable? Jarvis wrote Disco 2000 (like, doh!). And at least it's Mark she likes. I know someone at work who wrote hundreds of love letters to Coheed and Cambria frontman, Claudio Sanchez. Yes, that guy.
still coming slightly back to the subject adding a link about a weirdo who eventually used a fan for sex to the point where she couldn't escape isn't much consolation to Sarah :P
Any other interesting points about anything since this thread has gone a bit loose anyway?
Is it not ok to occassionally take a thread a little bit off the topic of Pulp? A little bit of randomness can sometimes make life more interesting. What if there comes a day when we really have nothing new to say about Pulp? All our top ten lists will have been compiled, the brief reunion becomes just a distant memory, and the days of bands selling albums as a physical object are long gone.
If you marry someone you like as an artist, you will not marry the artist, but the person. And of course the artist, which you see as god becomes human, and this could be very disappointing...

I spoke to his lady very very briefly in Mlebourne pointing in the direction of backstage at Festival Hall in Melbourne. She pulled her glasses down and asked if we had met before....
Not one of my best moments, but she seems nice and actually come to think of it, little Albert was hanging off her at Perth so it seems like a nice little family.
Actually that reads wrong, I pointed out - not pointed at her, I was simply helping her where she needed to go. I was more flustered than anything as shes probably seen Jarv naked. Yep.
