Why on earth is the title of the article 'a new Pulp album?' when the most definitive thing he said is probably not (still don't know whether to believe it). That's as if a newspaper headline was 'England Beat Italy?' and then proceeding to say no, they lost. Stupid NME

Because they're twats and did it to sucker people into buying the rag. From that I'm assuming there is no album on the cards yet, probably never will be, but still holding out for a Sheffield gig at the end of the year, simply because I'll never forgive them otherwise. I think they're torn between continuing to play the old stuff because they've really enjoyed it and stopping because they know the critics are already slating them for doing so.

I agree that the interview is probably a conglemoration of things Jarvis said when being interviewed about Common People.

I suppose it'd be like if I had tried to turn my interview with RUssell into an article solely about Pulp. It would seem very meagre pickings and you'd be thinking "what is the purpose of this interview?"

In truth I think Jarvis should feel quite embarassed that they have published this interview. The band's media profile has been very carefully maintained since the comeback and this is a bad piece of work.

Stephen, I didn't mean to mislead you (or anyone) with the quote I lifted about Pulp. I thought it sounded pretty negative - "I don't know about that" - that's a more polite way of saying "no" isn't it?

So what the interview really says is; no plans for a new solo album and probably no more Pulp shows or album but maybe a few books commisioned by him for Faber & Faber. Not exactly anything to look forward to is there?

There's a harp album. Is it Jarvis' first production job? I suppose there was the country sounds. Maybe he's working his way up to being a proper producer.

I wouldn't be overly harsh on the NME. It's Jarvis usual evasiveness on future music plans/Pulp that's a little tiresome. I suppose if he really doesn't have a clue himself whether they'll carry on that's fine, there's little point in even making an article about it. But the NME love Jarvis and generally tend to have regular interviews with him when they get a chance.

The one good thing from that piece is that is he's still writing stuff and songs still come to him. Maybe convincing the rest of the band to do new stuff, (Mark and Candida in particular I'm guessing), is something he can't be mithered with and he'll just put out another solo album/with another band when he feels like it.

Wise words Eamon. I'll be as happy with a third solo album as a new Pulp one. Although I know not everyone feels that way. It's not so long ago he said he was too happy to write music.

Harp album seems to be well on the way now.

I think Jarvis likes to be deliberately ambiguous and misleading to tease us lot.

The amount of media interest suggests that they are far from gone, I think they are trying to stir up some publicity, but we'll have to wait to see what, and when.

My gut instinct... they are currently on break and will return with a surprise album in 2013, and have already agreed to headline Glastonbury.

Clearly they're just waiting for Russell to finish his play before recording the new album. What? Stop laughing at me.

Jarvis has never been known for his decisive and focussed attitude, so what else is new?

Sadly, I think it's clear from what Russell said to Stephen that his involvement has ended. Maybe if they take another 10 year hiatus.

Also since when was Glastonbury 2013 confirmed?

What do they need with a violinist if a harpist joins the band?
