About time! But you only have 14 songs left? All the more strange why you stopped doing it when you were so close to the finishing line!

In all honesty, I needed a few more rare tracks, and felt a little weird about just coming out and asking directly for them here. But now my collection is on its way to completion.

Today, Is This House? No, really, IS THIS HOUSE?

Not my favorite Pulp outtake, that's for sure.

Nice work Mike, you going to add 'Sink or Swim' to your list?

Waited far too long to write about this one. Sideways.

Some of Pulp's greatest songs are b-sides. Then there's this.

I was expecting Silence or Tunnel. I'm actually pretty partial to That Boy's Evil!

I did used to hate 'That Boys Evil', but as I stopped being a guitar-music snob, I learnt to love it. It's just a lot of fun!

TBE rocks! A bit like The Avalanches but not as good, but still good.

Then there's The Chocolate Layers remix of The Facts Of Life! Now we're talking! Better than any Avalanches remixes of other peoples songs and in some ways better and quite different to The Avalanches stuff.

I'd love a full Chocolate Layers album...

Let's petition Jarvis and Steve to work on this post-reunion

The only (technically) unreleased Pulp song I will write about on this blog.

Mike re: Sink or Swim, strong evidence suggests that the version included on the 'It' reissue isn't actually the version recorded in those sessions, but is the one from the Input demo...

That explains the synths, I guess! Good to know, thanks!

Not a problem. It also suggests Jarvis had quite a hand in the 'It' remastering. Perhaps contributing to him digging 'My Lighthouse' out of retirement last week?

Couldn't really put this one off much longer.

Hello again. I disappeared again, I know. But this blog is in its final stages. Here is the penultimate entry: Pulp's very own Manos: The Hands of Fate. (Can you guess?)

I'll be getting round to that one soon, if I can bear to listen to it. The version from a pulp portfolio is a bit better.

Weej, the live version? I suppose it does have the charm of "Oh my God, they're actually playing it...to people!"

Hello,

So, I disappeared and got lazy again. But no more! I have written the final two entries for this blog. It's done!

http://musicfromabachelorsden.blogspot.com/

Thank you all for your support and feedback these last five and-a-half years.

Nicely done! Are you going to continue if they get round to releasing anything else?
