See http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/oct/14/pulp-favourite-lyrics?newsfeed=true Has musicians talking about their favourite lyrics and asks for readers to give their own. And they're going to publish the introduction from the book on Monday and have an interview with Jarvis by Deccan Aitkenhead.

Thanks Deborah but you missed something important on that page, "There will also be a video of Cocker returning to his old school, where Pulp played their first ever gig, to talk to pupils and return some overdue library books." That really does sound exciting.

Great link! It sometimes seems like they don't get that much love from other musicians: relatively few covers etc. That woman (from the Long Blondes I think) who moved to Sheffield, assuming that was the real reason must be a super fan!

 Yeah she was in the Long Blondes originally.. great band and their first album was produced by Steve Mackey.  She was a Student in Sheffield and stayed here (as so many do!) I saw them loads doing the Sheffield circuit on their way to being signed.. it was a shame they had to split.

I've got to admit to being not very familiar with most of the people in the article. Any of them worth investigating?

 Off the top of my head, no. You have heard of Billy Bragg though right? I noticed that there's a lot of DC choices in there, methinks some of these 'fans' aren't too au fait with Pulp.smile

 They should have asked the real, hardcore fans...ie us!

The Long Blondes are definitely - for me their first album is very Separations era-esque Pulp in it's style and content (if not directly the sound)

Yeah I've heard of Billy Bragg! I said most didn't? I was pleased to see he likes them but what I've heard from him... I wasn't that impressed...

The Long Blondes are superb. Have you heard the Bon Bon Club - their sort-of continuation? They did a nice and grimey cover of Love is Blind, definitely worth a look. You might even find a free sample at the Sheffield Phonographic Society, if you dig: http://www.heychuck.com/theespc/index.php.

Off-message here now, but I really liked Katsen - another band on this label.

...following on from that, search for "Bon" at that link and you can play a sample. Love is Blind kicks in at about 0:41.

To quote my favorite pulp song "the universal": "Where were you while we were getting high?"

 Yes, it's just you. I'm sorry.

Did anyone read the G2 interview with Jarvis at the beginning of the week?

The interviewer had the balls to say Jarvis's solo output was "not terribly good"...

There's this on the BBC with a clip from the World Service, and he was on Start the Week on Monday on Radio 4 too. There'a quite a few pieces on the Guardian at the moment if you search. There's quite a lot of repetition of the basic press messages around MBL, but there's always at least the odd interesting extra. Start the Week is always interesting for the way they mix all the guests together in the conversation and don't just interview them in series. And some of the Guardian pieces are more interesting, there's a discussion of the place of music in people's lives today compared to past generations which seems to have divided opinion in the comments.

I just read that BBC article, notably the last two paras: he's too happy to write new songs? Damn and blast that nice girlfriend of his!

Jarvis's happiness aside (even though it's really wonderful to read) , I'm very happy(!) that some one mentions his
voice. It doesn't happen very often. Has some one else noticed this?

Another interview here, on a radio 3 literature programme, available until tomorrow evening (Friday). He tries the usual denying being a poet thing, but the other guest is having none of it this time.
