Very good indeed. The tone of the text is spot-on and is timed to the music fairly well.

I wonder at the end, instead of the last slide staying-up for a full minute (I know you want to have the pulpwiki.net address up as long as possible) it might also look nice with a pic of the group. It would be a good contrast to the colour-background up to then.

That shot of them in the camper van taken from the album sleeve notes which is on the petition facebook page is great. I also like this one below, taken from an NME interview prior to Leeds/Reading 2000: 

Being super-critical, My Mistake belongs in the ''heard by only the most ardent fans'' category, though that's more of an anorak note. And in one of the opening slides there is a capital ''C'' for the word ''contained'' when there shouldn't be but again that's nit-picking. I'm just thinking from a making it look as professional, but lovingly fan-made, as possible, perspective.

Oh, I didn't realize we were supposed to wait until Friday.  I thought the deadline was for Twitter.

I was busy yesterday following fans of Pulp on Twitter, most of them seemed to speak Spanish, wish I could understand them!  Also: a few mentions of Jarvis on the tube, kind of surprised he would ride the subway.  Anyway, @ mentions of people you follow do NOT appear in your timeline, you have to actually click on that user's name to see all of the posts they've been mentioned in. Unless you follow both users, then of course the tweet will appear in your timeline.  The hope is that the user that you tag might see it, though, and RT (retweet) to all of their followers. Hashtags are only useful because they become automatic search tags, and they get saved in a list of hashtags that are easily accessible later.  It's easier to get a topic trending if you use a hashtag.  So we should all decide on a specific time on Friday to tweet using a specific hashtag, and maybe we can get the topic trending in each country for a minute or two??  Honestly, I'm not sure we have enough momentum yet.  I don't think we've even convinced Eamonn to like our FB page. 

It's not a problem twiggy, as long as people hear about the petition it doesn't matter, same end result.

There will hopefully/possibly be a third version before the day is done.

Stephen, that's excellent.

Just one thing, the message contains a link to the We Love Life album page, when I think you meant to take people to the petition page itself. I've just added a prominent link on the album page, so people should find the right place in any case.

Fantastic work by the pair of you. Love the video alterations, Fred.

I emailed a couple of DJ's on Irish alternative radio shows (but both on two of the biggest stations) about it. They've both played stuff like Sunrise and Bad Cover Version on their shows before so hopefully they mention it.

Someone on 6Music would surely mention it. Lamacq and Shaun thingy possibly.

Should we inform the New Musical Express and the Melody Maker about the Petition.

 I say do it, but think you might be a few years off with Melody Maker! In form the NME they love Pulp.

I've email some stations with song requests from the album with a mention of the petition.

It would but i wouldn't know who to text!

And I'm pretty sure all those Amazonians will receive an email that they've got a comment, so that's and extra 30 odd, not massive but not bad.
