Did you already know about that Stephen? I don't remember it being mentioned. It would be good if he sang on one or two pieces. Jarvis and a harp - that's a song I want to hear!

Oh no, I just googled her name and that of JC and found that...

What about him saying 'no more Pulp shows in the UK as we did it last year' and 'we'll probably stop at the end of the year'.

Funniest venn diagram ever. And there's some stiff competition out there. Did anyone get the feeling it was made up of different snippets of conversation from different times?

Both things struck me as extremely unusual things to say. The web preview of the interview is very unlike the actual article itself.

The NME is twisting things? Gosh!

Is anyone able to scan the thing, or does nobody buy it these days?

This is baffling. So they won't split up again but there won't be an album anytime soon and no UK gigs?!

They won't split up.

And they'll "probably stop at the end of the year"

Just in case there's any confusion here...

I really didn't understand it either. He definitely says 'no more shows in uk (could be lying?) cos they did it last year and there is that cryptic comment about stopping at the end of the year but he also mentions how they won't take a 10 year sabbatical like they did in 2002 again but that it 'can't go on forever'. In the actual interview he never says that the band 'will never split up' like in the online piece. Also, no indication of any solo material on the horizon just a vague statement about how he sometimes thinks about writing songs!

Thank you Jazza. I just thought it pertinent for Jarvis to realise that the things he says are mutually exclusive.

It's funny you should say that, Dominic. It does seem to have the faint whiff of a cobbled together piece.

Either it's, as you say, cobbled from loads of quotes, or the secrecy of Pulp's reunion has overwhelmed Jarvis, turning him into an infuriating old man incapable of coming to a decision, wandering round and spouting the vaguest of possibilities he can think of

Now you mention it... I reckon it would drive me to the edge as well, keeping all these secrets! I looks like Blur are in the same mood of either not knowing or not letting on to their future plans. It kinda gets on my nerves but sure, one day it'll all make sense.

So is this the famous article someone has scanned here:

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6a05jkxaf1r2maf1o1_1280.jpg

Venn diagrams as well as graphs, whatever next? I shall be expecting a 3D response surface of Pulp popularity correlated against level of sexual inuendo on one axis and % content of Eastern European folk melodies on the other.

Don't you know not to take stock in anything the NME publishes?

Well, that's a whole load of nothing much, isn't it?
New Pulp album = I'll believe it when I can hear it.

Huge thanks to whoever uploaded that.

But Christ, what a badly written piece of crap that is!

The news is certainly a lot bleaker than the pull-out quotes suggested...

I was starting to wonder whether I'd made the whole thing up about no more gigs etc until I saw that scan. Phew, thank goodness for that.

I was half tempted to buy NME this week for this but it's precisely this kind of shoddy work which is why I never ever buy it. I'm glad I stuck to my principles. Now Jarvis, go and do a proper interview we can make some fucking sense of.

It sounds like he's just going with the flow and doesn't want to give a straight answer because he isn't sure what will happen next. It seems strange that he even bothered to do the interview though.

He was in the week before talking about Common People in their Top 100 songs feature, do you think they maybe just tried to pin him down about Pulp's plans at the same time and this is the result?
