I expect that they will announce a final (few) concerts after fire have released the reissues and Jarvis' book has come out, just hope they don't do some final show in a huge venue like Wembley

Anyone planning on going to this? I tried to change the subject line but it won't take for some reason. Isn't Leeds kind of close to Sheffield?

 It's about 30 miles away. Unfortunately I'm not free on either of those days to go along to this.

I'll be at the Leeds one (40 minutes on the train from Sheffield by the way, if you get the right train!). If anyone else is going let me know!

No, the q&a was quite brief and a lot of time was taken up by dealing with a rambling drunk bloke who kept asking questions that didn't make sense. I asked why she'd said in the Lamacq interview that thing about "concerts maybe, new records definitely not". She said that writing and recording was always the most difficult part of being in Pulp and she couldn't imagine going through the years it probably take to write and record another album. She also said that she couldn't think of any bands who'd got back together and done new stuff that really stood up next to their old stuff.

Interestingly she added that she hadn't wanted to do the reunion at first, as it felt "cooler" not to get back together, not being a fan of bands reforming generally. She changed her mind after they met up and played a couple of songs and it sounded good.

This is all transcribed from my crap memory, so if anyone was there please correct me!

Good question to ask her.
I emailed TBITL to ask would they record the Q&A for a podcast but going on what you said, it possibly wasn't worth the effort.

Thank you for posting. I prefer no info about future shows to negative info at this point.

Wow! I loved her commentary on the current state of the music industry today; "there's something missing, isn't there?" I'm only 27 and I'm constantly feeling like an old curmudgeon, longing for the glory days and just feeling so disenchanted with the music scene nowadays. I guess that's why we come here, huh?

100% agree about music nowadays. It is largely absolute crap - don't think that today's situation is very similar to what it was like under Thatcher (Not that I know what that was like, or am knowledgeable about politics in any way) and really can't imagine any of the thugs involved in the recent riots making good music. Hope I'm wrong because God knows good new music is overdue

Music has splintered too much these days. Back in the good old days when there were no internet finding a song and a band you loved was your life. You kids today have it to easy, listening to music on yer interwebs and smartie phones. Kids dont have to tape radio shows anymore to get their favourite songs they just illegally download em. Though I gotta say, all joking aside there is a serious point in what I just said. Oh, and another thing the eighties in Sheffield were fxxxxxg horrible, would never wanna go back to those times.

That is very true. New technology has made everything easier and less significant and I would much rather not have it that way: It's like photography - that's my hobby but there is nothing separating me from everyone else with a digital camera, it's just become far too common and far too easy

 It's funny but we both sound so incredibly snobby about these things. In theory everyone should have the right and the access to pursue whatever they want to do but, damnitt, some people just don't deserve the opportunity! It's all just too easy no one has to work anymore at anything anymore.

The problem with newer techonology is a band that never even stepped on stage can record something fashionable-sounding in their basement, become an overnight internet sensation (whatever that means), immediately get a record deal and start touring the world based on hype alone, and the results are the entire industry being innundated with these aggresively medicore flash-in-the-pan buzzbands that are more often then not terrrrible live acts, and the stark opposite of groups like Pulp that suffered some ten years endlessly struggling, recording, touring and fluxuating line-ups before they really harnessed their craft and produced some truly brilliant music. Plus, it's just reinforcing people's already short attention spans to tolerate a few singles rather than sitting through an entire album like you would with a record or CD.

Sure, it's great that I can download a Felt album in four minutes that I'd otherwise have to pay out the ass for on ebay, but at the same time there was something nice about hunting and tracking down obscure records and building a collection you could be proud of. "Hey, who wants to come over and see my playlist?" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

"Hey you have to pay your dues before you pay the rent"

It's just too easy to say "things were better in the olden days". If there had been a forum like this discussing, say, The Clash in 1995, I'd expect the same conversation to be taking place, but 1995 is a golden year for us, right?
Still, you may all have some good points here, but there's still loads of great new music being made - it's just not indie music any more. Punk was dead (in the UK) by 1980, and much in the same way indie has gone down this never-ending self-referential cul-de-sac, it's had no new ideas for the best part of a decade now.
So why be sad, were Pulp an indie band? Sometimes, of course, but look at Separations, This Is Hardcore (i.e. the song, not the rest of the album), most of their 80s stuff in fact. These songs turned me on to dance music, experimental music, "difficult" music - interests that have kept paying off in the decades since. Right now my problem is that there's too much interesting stuff out there and it's hard to know where to start.
