Hi Guys, I'm a newie.

Listening to Absolute 90's Radio for a year introduced me to Pulp, I quickly booked Leeds tickets on the basis that they were rumoured to headline, for it to be true!

Lots of money spent on deluxe edition cds later, I am a Pulp convert. Their gig was the best thing I've ever seen and I will never forget it. It was special to me.

I love them so much that I got out all my Pulp mags - and took a photo. Slowly building a nice collection.

 It's really nice to see Pulp reaching across the generations - I'm guessing you're quite young from what you've described here and assuming your date of birth here is right. I get the impression most people on here were probably teenagers/young adults in the mid nineties when Pulp were at their most popular, so I feel rather old, I think Deborah might be as old as me though. After all, although all those stories in Pulp's songs were rooted in a certain time and place, they are dilemmas and experiences that are common to everyone everywhere.

I was very young and wasn't really music conscious during the 90's, which is probably why I'm so obsessed with the music and bands of the 90's now as I hit 21 haha. I was a late one to the Pulp fanbase, but seeing them during the reunion quickly became something I had to do since getting into them properly. I knew who they were all these years through hearing Disco 2000 and Common People back when I was younger, but only began to appreciate the music this past year.

I am glad I got the chance to see Pulp at all live, given the circumstances, and if they do anything else next year, I will be there. I've yet to meet any more people my age who are as into Pulp as I am!

A climate charity possibly green peace - sent a bunch of celebrities and artistic types on a boat to the arctic in the hope they'd address the issue in their work. Jarvis wrote Slush. Probably not what they were hoping for! KT Tunstel was the other singer, perhaps they had a jamming sesh on board.

With Jarvis on the front I thought, sure to be a good article...but no - I think he was briefly mentioned. The best interviews and photo shoots are from The Face.... especially the 1997 pre-This is Hardcore. I also have the issue but they are not on the front from 2001, which has them all standing in a corn field and Jarvis sporting a lovely cardigan......

Yeah I like my collection too.

On the weekend if I have nothing to do I might photography all my Pulp vinyls. They are my favs of my collection.

My parents were always playing Different Class as I was growing up, so they've always been with me in some form or another.
Been following them/Jarvis' work since day dot, from His n Hers, to We Love Life and beyond...

(yet to explore pre ''His'' material shamefully...)

Your parents are too cool! Although my mam likes Bowie so that's not so shabby. My dads into cliff Richard though...

My Dad is a complete Bowie fanatic - me and my brother used to make fun of him before we listened to it. I have now been told by both parents that I'm becoming like my Dad is with Bowie with Pulp (slippery slope! )

Well I am a Dad and I'm always making my son listen to cool music like Jarvis and Pulp so I'm hoping to educate him by a process of osmosis.

Me too.

Not really going according to plan as neither care much for Pulp!

My 12 year old son likes Nirvana & Joy Division, which is a little concerning.

My 7 year old daughter likes the Ting Tings.

At least, they always insist on listening to XFM in the car.  I suppose it could be worse.

Do you cherry pick the cleaner songs or are you liberal parents?
