Pulp to be honoured with NME gong

    Jarvis Cocker and Pulp reunited last year for a series of gigs

Pulp are to be rewarded for their outstanding contribution to music at the NME Awards.

The band, who reunited last year for a series of shows including a performance at Glastonbury, will play live at the show, to be staged at London's O2 Academy Brixton on February 29.

Pulp, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, racked up hits with tracks such as Disco 2000 and Common People.

They will be presented with the Teenage Cancer Trust outstanding contribution to music award at the event. Noel Gallagher is to collect the other honorary title, the godlike genius award.

NME editor Krissi Murison said: "Pulp are one of the wittiest, cleverest and most brilliant bands the UK has ever produce

 

 

Great stuff. Every Tom, Dick and Harry that reunites seems to get one of them these days and I was surprised Q, Mojo et al. didn't honour them last year. I assumed Pulp's ''no PR'' modus operandi in 2011 curtailed any of that but in fairness if anyone was going to celebrate them properly it was (for all their faults) the NME.

I wonder will they all go onstage to accept the award.

Will there be a ''This Is Your Life'' montage on a big screen for all the scroats in attendance that don't know much about them I wonder.
Jarvis speech should be good too. And if they play three songs I reckon they will be Sorted, Babbies and Common People. If Russell isn't there they should throw-in Party Hard to mix it up a bit more.

Sorry, I meant the younger award nominees and punters largely ignorant of Pulp's story and output.

Some of them are no doubt lovely.

 I'm sure they will as they will be playing.  Suspect it will be no more than three songs.

I didn't realise the NME tickets were actually going on sale to the public. Bah! I might have considered it. But then again...

I enjoyed voting for the track "Joyrides".

10/10 for everything pre-Separations and 1/10 for everything afterwards is probably the best way of mucking up the results :)

Eamonn, "scroats" is a bit harsh! You don't really know who's in attendance and, after all, a few people on here might well be going for all we know.

How many songs do acts tend to play at the NME awards if they're getting this 'gong'...?

Maybe they'll play something new to symbolise that they're still relevant and not a 'heritage' act.

 Birds in Your Garden is flying high at the moment. These NME online polls usually seem to show really random results, I can only assume that only about 5 people ever vote in them. The ones that get into print usually seem to have a bit more sanity about them.

I've given Countdown, Dogs and Little Girl 10/10. They deserve to move up into the top 20, I reckon. It didn't feel right to give Fairground more than 7/10 though.

 It's funny cause that's my technique in every poll I vote for,but when it comes to Pulp songs I just can't bring myself to rate any of them under 7.It just doesn't feel right!

Listen to it in wonder. It's quite astoundingly good Pulp pop. I think I may prefer the Black Session version to the recorded version, though. Anyone else...?

That's a good point Stephen, that live version is excellent. It fizzes along brilliantly.

It's also the only version that I knew for years (until last year, in fact!) which will always make it a favourite, I suppose...

Never really dug that song. But I salute the effort Jarvis made singing in french, as weird as it can be.

Jarvis included this Jean-Claude Vannier version I assume that's the original!) on his Finders Keepers collection - the thing they did to raise money after the warehouse fire last year, so he's obviously keen on it.

The original I always thought was by Michel Polnareff, but Jean Claude Vannier is well worth seeking out as he did the orchestrations for Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de' Melody Nelson.

Are highlights of these awards still shown on Channel 4 in the days/weeks afterwards? And do NME still have their own cable tv channel? If so maybe it will be screened live.

And if they all accept the award together we should get the first Pulp group-shot photos as a six-piece since, presumably the last award they won, the Mercurys, a few months before Russell left.

 Ah, but will Russell be there? It'll give us our first chance to find out Russell's role for this year.

even if Russell no longer participates in the reunion he should still be there to accept the award - after all he was in Pulp for a good 14 years! Might I add here that it's nice that it was Pulp and not just Jarvis that was given the award

If he does not attend, and I would be a bit surprised if he didn't, the least they could do is bring along his Different Class bad cover version cut-out.

This rings a bell. Did a band play a promotional gig/appearance with a stand-up/stand-in once? I'm thinking it was either Graham Coxon, Alex James, or one of Pulp (Steve? Russell?) who were replaced at a high profile appearance with either an impostor or a cardboard cut-out.

 That was Blur. Graham Coxon and Alex James were replaced by an impostor and a cardboard cutout. I can't remember which replaced who though.

Channel 4 are currently running a series of preview programmes, so is that a hopeful sign they will screen the event itself? I haven't seen any, Channel 4 website reckons they are available on 4OD, but my Virginmedia replay doesn't seem to have them.

You'd imagine nme.com will have all the requisite Pulp footage. The love them and it's their own big night so I shouldn't think we'll miss out on anything.

Of course,upon relistening, the album version of 'Fourmis' does have a far more exciting keyboard solo. But apart from that, the Black Session version wins hands down.

I'll be able to tell you soon as I sub TV listings before they go to print, but I'm sure Channel 4 will be showing this. They have done for the last few years and as has already been noted they're running previews.

I think this NME thing will be the start of big announcements. Surfing on their awards, they'll announce a bigger tour and/or a new record.

Just let it go, they won't be announcing a new record! They haven't had any time to write it nevermind actually record it, Pulp are hardly the sort of band to throw together an album in 6 months. It might happen some day, but definitely not any time soon.

Here is the top 10 Pulp songs as voted for on that NME poll:



'Common People' named as Pulp's best track by NME.COM users 1995 single narrowly beats out ''Do You Remember The First Time' and 'Disco 2000' to take top spot

NME.COM users have named 'Common People' as their choice for the best Pulp song.

The track, which was released as a single in 1995 and appeared on the band's seminal fifth album 'Different Class', came out on top in a poll which saw over 100,000 votes cast.

'Common People' narrowly edged out the band's early single 'Do You Remember The First Time?' and 'Disco 2000', which were in second and third place respectively.

'Babies' was fourth, with 'Sorted For E's And Wizz' and 'This Is Hardcore' in fifth and sixth place. 'Mis-Shapes', 'Bar-Italia', 'Underwear' and 'Razzmatazz' made up the rest of the Top 10.

Pulp will receive the Teenage Cancer Trust Outstanding Contribution To Music Award at this year's NME Awards. The Sheffield band will pick up the gong at the O2 Academy Brixton ceremony on February 29, and will also play live on the night.

To see a full list of this year's categories and nominees, and to have your say on who should win, head to NME Awards now.

The list you gave was bracketed by "Including" and "and many of the other acts in the running for the evening's gongs.", so maybe this is just Channel 4's idea of which performers are the happening, down-with-the-kids interesting ones to highlight??

Hopefully.

Guessing they're not mentioned because, strictly speaking, they're not in competition with anyone. Ahh, isn't it always that way with Pulp though, in a different class they are!

I'm viewing on a phone so cant see the image too well. Can you see all the members? Two rumours I'd heard suggested he was playing. I won,t trust those sources again!

 Is that not Russell on the far right next to Steve? Bit silhouette-y but am fairly sure - there are definitley six on stage

I can't really make anything out on here and can't fathom the magic of Facebook either to look harder, but someone over on the right edge beyond Steve is surely going to be that Leo Abrahams chap that's been playing with them all last year??

Doesnt seem like it's him. If it was he'd be on the other side of the stage and if i remember correctly, he wears his guitars a bit downer.

"Our live coverage kicks off at 6pm". Hmm, just a bunch of photos at the moment, so maybe they will try to fob people off with live updating of photos, ahh, "NME: OK, we're in business. Luke Lewis here, reporting for NME Awards blogging duty. If you're not aware, it's all happening at the O2 Academy Brixton tonight - red carpet arrivals from 7pm, show starts at 8. But first, a few photos to set the scene... ", so a bit like watching cricket via BBC live text then.

Really intrigued as to Pulp's appearance tonight. Will they give much of a speech/be willing to be interviewd, pose for pics etc.? Quite exciting, they've not been publicly fussed over like this in arguably 16 years.

Typical embargoed article with no details that went online sooner than it should have been !

The nme.com live text thing has posted a lot of pics of the bands as they posed, no Pulp yet. Hope they're not grumpily avoiding it. There will be no escape from being papped once they go up to accept their award!

Where d'you read that? A real shame if so. Was hoping he'd give the speech.

No mention of them being on the red carpeet pre-awards on the live text.

Side stepping from the 'is Russell there?' hoo-ha for a minute, I humbly note that 'Mother, Brother, Lover' has been nominated for best book.

NME:
SPOTTED: a confused looking Jarvis Cocker heading for the gents (not in *that* way you understand). We know he was on the guest list (obviously, because Pulp are playing later), but we hadn't actually seen him til now, as he ducked out of the red carpet run. But then, when you're recipients of the Outstanding Contribution award, you can do whatever the hell you like.

"Pulp are up onstage accepting their award and reminiscing about the last time they won an NME Award, back in the 90s - and broke it while celebrating afterwards. Jarvis is also comparing the NME Awards to the Brits. "Adele wouldn't have any problems with this, would she?" he says, gesturing to the middle finger statuette - before thanking all the fans who came to Pulp's comeback shows last summer. The applause, when he finishes speaking, is *deafening*. And now they're going to play live!"

Excellent stuff!

"when they broke it celebrating" was I guess tamer than "when nick chucked it at his girlfriend" or however the story goes

Are you really surprised? Noel Gallager is both more famous and more popular than Pulp.

 Mis-shapes?  Glad I didn't go smile

As for Gallagher and the Angry Birds, totally agree.  What the fuck! He was shite at the Brits, and doubtless shite again tonight. (well unless he learnt to sing like Liam)

 But him and his Angry Birds aren't.  Maybe if he had his little bruvver along who can sing.
