Fallon?!? That's brave considering Questlove's animosity towards El Jarv.

?uestlove's got a problem with Jarvis? Since when? They both seem like such lovely guys... Didn't even know they were on each others radar unless ?'s a huge MJ fan?

It seems so surreal. No album to promote, no.....nothing. What would they play?

Reunited bands with nothing new to promote play Fallon occasionally. DC band Jawbox did it a few years ago, I think just because they reissued one of their old albums.

seems like an unlikely (or wrong) place to make any announcement. They do need to sell out the rest of Tuesdays show, as there are so many tickets left.

I thought all the tickets for the American shows were snapped up pronto.

I've never come across it! For certain Michael Jackson fans the hate runs deep!

If they were a bit daring but logical why not do Like A Friend? But yeah we'll probably get one of the biggies like Disco, Misshapes or Maureen.

Well yeah, that's why I suggested it. I'd still be surprised if they did though.

Is this available to view in the UK? If not can someone record it and put it on youtube please

Nice one! Twiggy, you evidently only hang with the stars

I actually know who the violinist is. Her name is Jean Cook. She's played with American indie acts like Ida and Jenny Toomey. She's also in one of Jon Langford's (from the Mekons) side projects, which is my best guess as to how Pulp may have connected with her. Pretty sure she's also done jazz, classical, and experimental stuff.

I know her from her work mainly as a singer for a great, rather underrated band from Washington, DC, called Beauty Pill. I wrote an article after watching them record an album in an art gallery.

Actually we only sat through part of the show (thankfully didn't have to be herded in like the rest of the audience). I'm a fan of Jimmy Fallon, though, so it was not an imposition!  My friend actually got a little choked up seeing them again after 16 years, we're very excited to see the shows at Radio City. 

OK....how do I download this for keeps...?

@jotibooth: Wonder how @questlove feels about Jarvis after he invaded MJ's stage back in the day

@questlove: @jotibooth lol if you knew the controversy askin that question last time he was here caused today. Jesus I thought I needed boxin gloves lol

Questlove is the drummer in a band called "The Roots"

I can appreciate that if someone's main point of reference to who Jarvis is was "the Michael Jackson incident" they'd think he was a dick. Kind of like how I feel about that dick off The Voice.

 

He's pretty cool though:

and:

 

He's a drummer/producer.

Yeah, they were ok weren't they. Not outstanding or fantastic just ok. Better than just about everything else though, I'd rather see an ok Pulp than anyone else.

Also, The Roots are the house band for the show.  So Questlove is like the Paul Shaffer of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  Would have been funny if he'd mimicked the stunt, but he's an extremely large man (deceptively large, like Keith Olberman), so I imagine he's not nearly as sprightly as young Jarvis.

For some reason I also thought Hawley might be joining them for these shows.  To tell the truth, I was still holding a tiny hope that Russell might surprise us all. 

I was wondering the same thing about Mr. Senior's lack of attendance. I hope he's there for the Radio City shows.

 He won't be.

maybe the reason Russell hasn't done anything with pulp 2012 is to surprise everyone at the US gigs!

but probably not

Was he really angry at Jarvis, or was it just an off-the-cuff remark that got blown out of proportion?

The roots aren't bad, but... ugh. Can you imagine if Pulp became the f-ing house band to.....um.... the Graham Norton show? (Yes, I had to google UK talk show host)

When I think of chat show bands, I get as far as 4 Poofs and a Piano! (Jonathan Woss, does he still have them now he's on ITV, haven't seen him for ages).

Similarly to you, I had never heard of Jimmy Fallon till this thread appeared.

No, their last album released before they started doing the show (just under a year before) did well critically and commercially. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rising_Down#section_3 I think they just like playing together every night.

I'm sorry if the guy was really upset (which i kinda doubt) about the MJ incident he cannot be taken seriously, no matter how big is record collection is 

oh god i can't drink wine, sends me fucking MENTAL

 

but i've been thinking about the common people on jimmy fallon for a couple of days now!  i had to get it off my chest

i don't know what it is about this performance, but this is one of my favourite performances of common people EVER. i've seen it live at least 30 times (sorry!) and on tv i don't know how many..... but i don't know what it is about this that makes it so good!
it doesn't matter that steve's bass guitar is a bit muddy (don't stab me! i know it's not his fault, it's the sound)
it's not the hip grinding, or the hand gestures, maybe it's just the simple things like jarvis untangling the microphone wire himself, the little grins, or is my favourite bit at the end when steve is smiling at nick for the last DOOF of the drums

oh i don't know.... what do you lot think?

i must stay off here at night.....

So... what are you drinking?
