I just got a bit of a shock when I looked at twitter, I thought we had 99 followers! But we're actually following that many people - someone's been very busy, Number of followers has gone up as well so it's had an effect. Then I went on Facebook and felt like a minor celebrity when I saw my name up in lights next to the video.

I've been busy inviting 90% of my Facebook chums to 'like' the Facebook page. If everyone on here did that, you'd all have lost five minutes of your life, but if even 50% of your Pulp fan friends (is it just me who has about 50% of friends that like Pulp?) turn up and click the buttons, it'll be a Good Thing!

Is is still the case that we should wait till Friday for the full onslaught?

I am not the expert at twitter, but is it the case that once you include a hashtag in a tweet, that tweet would appear to the hashtags followers?

If this is the case, then would it be wrong for us to tweet messages like;

"fans of @suedehq might like songs by pulp. Sign here......"

"remember when @bbc6music first played PULP demos"

These are examples, but would the follows of bbc6music and suedehq not see these messages?

 

Done

Actually, on the official Pulp Facespace page (they're nearly up to 50,000 *likes* themselves) someone has posted a photo of a tattoo of their arm and it's the flower from the sleeve of We Love Life. I wonder could they be convinced to have "Petition@pulpwiki" stamped on their forehead...

Have just realised a friend of mine works at Universal!! I have pointed him in the direction of the petition. He is only a small cog in the machine but it's worth a shot.

64 LIKES and counting.......

Oops, sorry Fred! I jumped the gun. Oddly, I'm finding it difficult to get my friends to like the FB page, but most of them have signed the petition.

Is this the complete list of unreleased demos (that we know of)?
Cuckoo Song
The Quiet Revolution
Grandfather's Nursery
Roald Dahl
After You
Got to Have Love
The Performance of a Lifetime
Darren
M'Lady
St. Just
Love You Baby
Six String
My Mistake
Last Song in the World
Medieval Owl
Dream Galaxy

Oi!

What's the URL of the most recent Youtube video promoting this...?

I've got the email written - just waiting for a link to a passable youtube video...and then maybe some suggestions from YOU LOT about where to send these things. I have a few in mind, but other webzine suggestions wouldn't go amiss!

well I posted the link in my thread above but if you can hold on five minutes I'm about to upload a new one.

(as the actress said to Fred)

I've been put in a youqueue: it says the vid will be here when uploaded:

http://youtu.be/wOTQ9Zk8t-c

Tomorrow is the 4th not the 3rd but it's perfect apart from that.

I'm going out now unfortunately, but hopefully the vid will appear.

OK, I've sent this to a few ziney types. Drowned in Sound, PItchfork, God is in the TV being the main three. But if anyone can think of anymore, then please do something about it and email them :)


Hello!



I was hoping that you might find a place in your zine to run a summary of the below...



Pulp fans around the world are staging a 'day of action' tomorrow (4th May) in order to drum up interest in a reissued, 'deluxe' version of Pulp's final album, 'We Love Life'.



The songs which originally appeared on the critically acclaimed album only tell half the story of the busy songwriting and recording period which the group engaged in between 1999 and 2001 under various producers, including Walker Brothers legend Scott and long time Pulp/Pink Floyd/Beatles producer Chris Thomas



Universal Music Group, in close collaboration with the group, issued two disc deluxe versions of Pulp's earlier albums His 'n' Hers, Different Class and This is Hardcore, offering up to the world the delights of songs such as Can I Have My Balls Back Please, Modern Marriage, The Boss...and Nick Cave fronting the band on a 'pub rock' version of Disco 2000.



Songs from the We Love Life sessions such as Cuckoo Song, the Quiet Revolution and Grandfather's Nursery have been leaked over the years to much acclaim from fans, but oddities such as The Performance of a Lifetime, M'Lady, St. Just and Medieval

Owl have defiantly remained in the vaults.



A Youtube video continues the story: http://youtu.be/wOTQ9Zk8t-c



Jarvis himself, not given to hyperbole has commented that "We could do quite a good one (reissue) of We Love Life".



So, if you like what you hear, sign the petition at http://www.pulpwiki.net/Pulp/WeLoveLife and 'like' the Facebook group at www.facebook.com/welovelifepetition



There's even a twitter account too: https://twitter.com/#%21/WeLoveLifePULP



Although Pulp continue to be a going concern headlining festivals and venues such as the Royal Albert Hall last month, there is as yet no indication of new material. And with an album's worth of music in the vaults, this could be the closest the world gets to 'new' Pulp.



Many thanks!
