Another lost Pulp album? (From My Favourite Album on Guardian website)
Permalink  
 

I was reading this about His 'n' Hers on the Guardian website about people's favorite albums (worth a read).  However in the comments I noted a "Little known fact", which I think is untrue.  I can't remember an album's worth of material post Gift singles played live.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/sep/08/his-hers-pulp

Little known fact: Pulp recorded what would have been their first album for Island before His'n'Hers, not least on the strength of Babies, which they'd already put out as a single on their own label. Island didn't think it was good enough and told them to go back and try harder or be dropped. Pulp came back with His'n'Hers. The rest is history.

However this comment could have been me...

I am the same age as Jarvis Cocker. Although many of his songs are about teenagers, I don't think they're written from the point of view of teenagers at all. On the contrary I find them deeply adult. Pulp capture extraordinary well that late-30s/40-something wistfulness, looking back at youth, wondering where the years have gone to, comparing teenage dreams with later reality. I also find the songs extraordinarily dirty...

Yep, read that yesterday, he must have been getting confused with Intro.

Shoddy journalism (especially along the lines of 'a little known fact') drives me mad. What a div. Also, extraordinarily dirty? He should get out more. The good thing about the lyrics is the half guessing and subtlety (in places). Never thought of them as dirty, unless you're afraid of sex or something.

 These were comments rather than the article itself, which was worth reading.

Sorry! I'm in a bad mood today. I'm the div.
