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

 Couldn't agree with you more

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.

Sadly, that channel closed down in January!

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.
