What do we reckon? A big Sheffield gig to end on? An album? A tour? All three? Will they all be involved?

I'd be happy with an EP.

I'll settle for nothing less than a new album - with a tour to follow of course. If it was just more of what we've already been given, I don't see what the big secrecy would be for.

I'm hoping for all of the above and an appearance on Later

They are notorious for their secrecy clauses.

I would guess (& I hope I'm wrong) that it's a one off 'official farewell' gig in or near Sheffield around mid to late December. Au2o, lol.
Of course, it could be playing full albums like Suede did, I'd kill for Freaks & Hardcore...
But let's hope it's a tour, huh?

 I was hoping for something like this to happen myself. For me I think the best candidate would be Separations. The albums not long and would leave plenty of time for hits and other rarities etc.

I'd like them to play This is Hardcore with some of the extras like The Professional. Preferably with Richard Hawley and Anne Dudley.

Dixie, wasn't the 'intro' just a very ethereal remix of Common People or was it DYRTFT?

Btw, I would put money on more gigs rather than an album. Remember that they started demo-ing/writing We love Life in October 1999 (and, from what Pete Mansell says, they started *writing* those songs back in '98/'99) and WLL took another two years to be finished. Do you think they *really* wanna go through that again? Pulp more than any other band seem to have the most torturous (yet democratic) way of putting albums together. Jam and jam and jam and finally something emerges. It's not like they can meet up next Monday with four new Jarvis songs, two Russell ones and a Mark 'atmospheric piece' or something. It would be weeks and weeks and weeks of living, breathing and working together, getting songs together from scratch and trying, frantically, not to fall out.

Lots of disparate personalities who've all grown apart - even more than they had during their time in the band - then being expected to spend months in a rehearsal room somewhere.

And *then* record it. And then tour again. And promote it.

I really can't imagine they'd be keen to do it.

But what Candida says certainly does give hope for...something!

Everything you say makes perfect sense...but I can't stop thinking that they spent five months in that "studio" in Sheffield...doesn't that seem quite long just for tour rehearsals?

Yes the intro at brixton etc... was a remix of common people.

Making an album is actually pretty damn boring. Especially if you've not written the thing first. I've been into studios with bands that have songs but haven't yet rehearsed them to any real level of tightness. That's torturous enough. Couldn't imagine what it would be like having to jam for days on end to create a single song that you can then think of recording...

Also, with regards to five months in the Sheffield studio rehearsing for the tour, it's one thing a bunch of old friends reminscing through their past work/memories etc. but quite another to subvert the egos enough for something new to come about. There's a lot more pride etc. at stake with such things that simply isn't there as much with Old Stuff...

Also twiggy, didn't they rehearse 90 songs or something? I can see how that might take five months. Especially if Jarvis heads back to Paris every now and then to see Albert etc...?

Seventy quickly whittled down to about forty I think they said.

I was curious to see how many songs in total Pulp played this year.

Setlist.fm lists 34: http://www.setlist.fm/stats/pulp-bd6bdda.html?year=2011.

However, they only list 25 shows in 2011, whereas according to Pulpwiki, they played 27.

Nevertheless, I'm guessing that list of songs is very close to accurate.

I, er, did this in my head a couple of weeks ago when struggling to get to sleep. Haven't looked at your setlistfm link but I came up with 35.
Sadly the likes of Sheffield Sex City, Acrylic Afternoons, Have You Seen Her Lately, His'n'Hers, A Little Soul and Trees were all only played once (I think).



PRE-SEPARATIONS: Nothing. Though 'Silence' did get a dubious mention from Jarvis at Brixton.

SEPARATIONS (1):

Countdown

INTRO (4):

OU
Babies
Razzmatazz
Sheffield: Sex City

HIS'N'HERS (7):

Joyriders
Lipgloss
Acrylic Afternoons
Have You Seen Her Lately?
DYRTFT?
Pink Glove
His'n'Hers

DIFFERENT CLASS (13):

All + Mile End

THIS IS HARDCORE (6):

The Fear
Party Hard
Help The Aged
This Is Hardcore
A Little Soul
Like A Friend

WE LOVE LIFE (4):

The Trees
Wickerman
Bad Cover Version
Sunrise

 

Edit: Just seen the setlist link. They seem to be missing A Little Soul...I'm pretty sure someone said that was played in France with Jarvis on acoustic guitar. And are they sure Acrylic Afternoons was played four times? I thought they only did it at Glasto, I'm probably wrong.

I've just done a bit of data visualisation from the setlist.fm data. Let me know your thoughts.

Yeah, Eammon, I'm pretty certain "A Little Soul" is an omission on setlist.fm. I remember seeing a clip of it on YouTube.

That's a cool graphic, littlesaint!
