My immediate thought was it was just some kind of favour-returning, the Boxettes have done various backing vocals for Pulp over the last year, there was that posh party in Paris we had the video of, was that to do with the Eurostar campaign, you know where no-one was really listening. Jarvis does do a fair bit of adding in some vocals and stardust for other people's stuff, Avalanche, Synchronise and so on, but you never know! He has to have some kind of proper excuse for skiving off 6 Music (station of the year) till September with only a couple of festivals in July to occupy himself.

Yeah, I emailed the Pulp store about some of the merchandise being out of stock. Got a very nice reply, the lady said that there were ''some exciting new designs coming'' so, yeah, bring on an autumn tour.
Actually Hawley just announced one of his own today, end of Sep, start of Oct including a Brixton date. Well he is at number 3 in the album charts now!

Actually, that drum looks like it could be apart of Nick's kit, there's a very similar one in the Common People Reading video. Or perhaps, he uses a different kit in the studio, many drummers do.

He was probably just popping in to see them, he is a sociable fella after all. Maybe producing, maybe asking them to come and sing on Pulp's upcoming British tour?
https://twitter.com/#!/Neojoshua_sings Look at the fourth tweet down, the Boxettes were singing for Jarvis on songs they had not yet learnt, so it could be a new Pulp record or even solo Jarvis... but very exciting!
It's not too clear to me, but looking at the Boxettes website, they are Yvette (?= @yvetterw), Kate (says she's in hospital at the mo), Aluysha (?=@Aluysha_Sings) and Bellatrix, is she NeoJoshua, the Twitter account header blurb suggests Boxettes is just one of many projects this person is involved with, so maybe a session singer or such like and not a Boxette, which could explain having to learn songs??
Ah, but just spotted tweet below, is Yvette's ditto about also looking forward to recording or also having to learn songs, she is definitely a Boxette from the looks of it.
