I still wouldn't be surprised if they headline Glasto, and that's why Nick stumbled over his words.

He was pretty adamant there wouldn't be an album due to group laziness

 I couldn't get the link to play the clip at first on that Boo thing it went to, but clicked the iTunes button and it was fine, I sent the resulting mp3 to the 2005 account if anyone wants to listen there.

I think announcing the presale on twitter first, and for it to be totally unannounced was a 'present' of sort to the fans. They want the people who check the Pulp feeds every day to have the first chance of getting tickets, and I think that's quite a Pulp thing to do.

If they had announced the presale a few weeks in advance, you can bet your standing tickets vivagogo price that a lot more touts would have been able to put a lot of tickets onto, erm, vivagogo by now...

I thought the same thing Stephen, it was a little kiss to the fans to make sure that people who deserved them had a chance to get them first. (Though that sounds like a really wankery thing to say, 'Oh, I'm more deserving than you 'cos I'm a real fan')

9am

 thank you!  i see it now.  now i have to figure out what time that is over here...hmm.

and can i go ahead and say how much i hope they do "pink glove" or "she's a lady"?...or is it too early for that?  ;)

 

The pedant in me has spotted that it says 9am GMT on the Pulp website, that's 10am BST which is what we are on currently (daylight saving, British Summer Time for those not familiar with UK tiimekeeping). So this is either i) the automated website thingy releasing general sale tickets works only in GMT or ii) they don't have my nerdy, pedantic tendencies and it just means 9am in the UK.

Seen the messages on Pulp People? The day that (almost) never happened... May the circle be unbroken, etc

Well referencing a concert that happened back in '88 is a marvellous thing in my opinion. Bring it on I say and I think I can safely say that tissues 'won't' be optional!

how many people do they expect will get that reference I wonder. Still, that supports the idea that this really is a concert for the hardcore fans... I suspect we will get a very good setlist (and some tin foil clothing if we are lucky)

Wouldn't it be great if the stage was covered in toliet roll and tin foil with a load of crappy TV's that didn't work properly?

Looks like this is the end... @BBC6MusicNews: Pulp's Nick Banks talks to BBC Radio Sheffield about the band's hometown Christmas show http://t.co/BYti6srM Can anyone get hold of the full interview? If there is an album then Nick's a good liar

I was able to grab the 4.30 or so of everything (as opposed to the 3 mins on audioboo) if you would like me to upload it.

-----------------------------

It's clear they were hinting to headling Tramlines next week, which would have been EPIC, but security/council drama prevented it.

Tramlines? Woah! At least I'd have been able to make that one. And I'm going anyway. Bah!

To me anyways.

Outdoor venue and 5,000 people was the most the council would accomidate for and Dev Green is probably the biggest open air in the city (if you dont count Don Valley). Since Tramlines started, people have always thrown about Pulp or the Arctic Monkeys headlining to give it some massive exposure.. Jarvis was part of their publicity photos for 2011, showing his support for the festival.

Don Valley Bowl would deffo be the best outdoor venue/site in my humble. There were a couple of free music things there in the very early '90's which were super and the Arctic Monkeys had a big marquee show there recently. That ain't gonna happen in early December though!

i'm able to pull up seated tickets again for purchase but now the part about standing tickets with the price is not there anymore :( does this mean they're all gone?

 No worries, this just means the pre-sale standing tickets are gone, which are just a small percentage of the total available tickets. It's a big venue anyhow and considering how long it took to sell out these tickets in the pre-sale, I'm convinced that if you just get up on time on Friday, you'll have tickets. I can't imagine any problems.

ahh, thank you :) also, i will be quiet soon, i promise, but did anyone else notice that russell isn't cut out of the promo picture of the band for this show on the gigsandtours site? could that maybe mean something?

I think Nick was alluding that a summer gig was the idea, but things just got in the way (other festivals or the size of the crowds/council) and this was the best possible way to do it.

My friend was at the Magna gig and if she had been sober, probably would have froze to death, she said it was so cold in there. Ive been to a show in January at the Arena and its not terrible. Definately dress warm.

He wasn't cut out of the Royal Albert Hall's picture either, that didn't mean anything. But it would be nice if they could drag him out at least for a couple of songs, it's not like he needs to conquer his fear of flying for this one. Maybe he is phobic about trams too?

 Trying to look on the bright side, maybe he meant 'in 2012'?

As I've said previously, I'd be very surprised if Russell didn't play on at least one song, even more so if it really is their last gig. Perhaps just the songs that require his violin? Or even just Common People and possibly O.U.

I had really bad sickness and flu the day of Auto, but nothing would cause me to miss it. I was sick twice on the way there. Bizarrely, being forced to bounce about with the crowd and drinking loads of water cured me and I was fine on the way home!

It just wouldn't be a sequel to The day that never happened without Russell. Surely it's just down the road for him. Anyway if Nick's interview is anything to go by it might be one of the last he'll get to play at
