Given that our polls for the NME show (not to mention Eamonn's request live My Lighthouse recordings) have so elegantly coincided with real-world events, the burden to name the new Pulp album surely falls on our shoulders. Right here and right now.
We should probably set up a petition to have the pre-release demos and out-takes released on the deluxe edition too, when it comes, whilst we're at it.
Go Team!

(I'd love to see Jarvis replace Bear on Man vs Wild, that'd be awesome or the two hitting the jungle together: the military and the monkey... Jarvis being the monkey)

wow. was this the first real interview regarding the reunion since that lamacq thing? I guess they're finally breaking the media silence. This is incredible, especially considering so many people assumed it was over after Brixton...
Nah i have no info on this although i have a contact with his french label (solo)... but they dont know much until the receive the album recorded and ready for release
But from day on since the reformation i am a backer of a new album theory. And every step seem to confirm this theory... It was wishful thinking at first, now we have some clear evidence.

I usually pick up a copy in the Tyneside cinema Newcastle. But I'm in London right now so that's a bit of a bumder. So a copy in one of those kiosks where tube workers usually sit, but couldn't get at it. I remember seeing them in the mens section of French Connection quite a few years ago on the one occasion I ever went in there.
Hmm, had mixed feelings about this beforehand but I must admit to being excited now it's sort-of confirmed. This Sunday Service break is probably being spent getting some writing and recording done then. I'm half expecting them to headline Glastonbury next year now!
LA Ex, the Pixies did manage the wonderful 'Bam Thwok', but even that was quite a few years ago now I think...!
Exactly. in 2004. Frank Black did write new material for the band but he wasnt satisfied with it, so they gave up.
The Pixies is really a nostalgia act now, id even say they're doing it for the money to fund other projects... Pulp dont want to be that, (i hope). And the Pixies also didnt record any new album because Kim Deal, in the end, didnt want to... Russell is out. you do the maths

Also, why would they agree from the start to do an album, only for Russell to say, "well I'll do a few and then leave just as you're working on the new album". He's awkward but I don't think he's that bad. I think this has all been decided after the reaction to last summer
Yeah i guess they remembered how much they liked being in this band, playing those songs together.

cutcopy, 3 people at work have given me copies so i'll post you one. if anyone else needs one PM me and i'll post one to you too!
i must have a reputation at work for being a saddo pulp fan. in fact, the magazine i work for wanted to feature me as a 'superfan' in a feature. i refused. they are using a take that fan instead (one who actually had an injunction taken out on her)
Weener, didn't you once stumble across some very old Pulp photos at your workplace? I believe there was a suggestion of trying to get access to them...did anything ever come of that?

It's not really confirmed at all though, he just said it might happen. When is the sunday service break? Won't that be spent touring America? Surely if they were to do some writing, it would be after all of this years touring commitments (which presumably is going to include UK shows later in the year), so if they were to start recording a new album or something, I wouldn't expect them to start for a year or so.
They could always jam new stuff in soundchecks or something? At least that way they're killing two birds in one stone and don't have to take time out post-touring to sit down and write/jam together?
After all, for it to be Pulp rather than Jarvis and his backing band, it has to go back to that old way of writing. Musicians in a room playing music. And then...something forms...!
The break is right through from now to September, much longer than last year's break, for far fewer announced dates, so there's something going on, even if it is just more gigs to come.
stephen, an agency called ross parry in yorkshire have loads of old stuff, but there was some specific pics someone (sorry can't remember) was looking for... the folk i asked drew a blank
