Schedule wise?! They've had weeks sometimes months off at a time!
Yeah but Jarvis has been living in London doing his radio show & I'm pretty sure there have been reports of the others doing their own things, Mark doing his film stuff etc? And if the ever-cautious Pulp were going to make a creative comeback, they wouldn't just knock something off in a couple of weeks, especially considering the fact that Pulp songs are collabrotive efforts. But hopefully I'm wrong!
And wasn't there talk of them going to a studio whilst in South America? Or was it likely that was just a rehearsal studio so they could give the Sheffield fans what they wanted in the shape of Born to Cry...?
Over the course of the past year and half reunion shows, they've had plenty of time to record stuff. Not saying they did, but it's not like they've been busy with a real tour. Even with extra activities, they could easily have a few weeks available to come up with something.
And i said before, the writing process can change. Maybe Jarvis came up with a basic melody that the other worked on. Or maybe they came up with stuff while rehearsing the songs for the tour. Again not saying it happened, i even doubt it, but It's possible.
Yeah, there are two distinctive big gaps, aren't there? September '11 - Mar '12 (during which time Russell seemed to quit again) and then July - Nov '12.
Mine you, even in the much shorter gap of June '12 they could have hit the studio for a time!
they played at that christmas thingy last year so there was definitely some rehearsal time in november early december as well. i think if new material, if, it began then.
I dont know... Pulp was supposed to be over last year. We got a new tour. Blur was never going to record again and we got a single... I'd say if they were to record new stuff, they would deny it in interviews. Never say never in music... BUT say never, maybe, never again, possibly, it's happening, it's not, it's over... to the press. Anything to keep the suspense and to keep the fans interested.
Well, my by calculations it was 23 months between the Suede reunion being announced and them first playing new songs. It was also 44 months between Blur being 'back on' and them first playing new songs*. So maybe there's hope yet.
*This stat wilfully ignores the fact that it was only 16 months before they actually *released* new material!
On a different trend, does anyone think it slightly perverse of El Jarv (user of the Pulpwiki) to plump for the 23rd most popular 'rarity' to play at the Sheffield gig (as according to said Pulpwiki)
Does anyone have the audio for the gig yet? I would quite like to listen to it again. I bet the 5 minutes we spent chucking loo roll around will sound great! But seriously, I absolutely loved that bit and would like to hear a recording of the whole gig.

Yup, you might almost be tempted to imagine he hadn't checked it in the week leading up to the gig!
It sounds Ok but the major problem is the low bitrate of the mp3's I'm afraid. I won't really quibble cos you went to the trouble of recording it and I'm sure it would sound very good if the bitrate was higher. It'll do until we get an official release, I hope. By the way Countdown sounds just as fantastic as I remembered it.

I'm not so discerning in the audio sense, never agonised over which speakers to buy or angsted over whether you really can tell the difference between mp3s, CDs or vinyl, so I am able to dive right in and savour the amazing memory of the night. How do you manange to record the whole thing so brilliantly and pay any attention to enjoying yourself? Thanks very much.

Well everyone who were i the seats near me never turned up so I just stuck the recording equipment on a seat next to me and dnaced away. Know what you mean about the sound, but hopefully it's just a taster until the official release.
