There are quite a few moaners on the Pulp facebook page to the extent that it even prompted a response from the people who run the page along the lines 'it was only open 24hrs' so I don't think the band think that no one cares. I wonder how many people actually downloaded the track in that one day?

 I hope they didn't think my comment - the one that prompted the response was moany. I thought I was quite nice, and I even thanked them for responding!

 And he didn't read our my email with a description of the Sheffield show asking him to play it. Oh well, seems like there were enough other people also asking the same thing.

The fact that the song is getting national radio airplay......says it all really.

 But no one can actually buy it or even download the song legally anymore!

On a side note, if Pulp play shows in 2013, are they likely to play this? Would be pretty cool to see live!

Was the song announced as a rarity or as 'new material' on 6?

 As far as I remember, both Nemone and Tom Robinson recounted the story about the Christmas cards and the download, mentioned that it had been produced by James Murphy i.e. very recently and just described it as a new track, I don't think I remember any reference to it being an older song. They both managed to sound pretty enthusiastic about it.

Nemon'e just started her programme and announced the highllights we are to look forward to in the rest of the show, includes After You, so she wasn't just playing it as a one-off novelty.

It being played on 6music is not so surprising given the combination of the station being one of the few which is filled with songs outside the charts and the fact that Jarvis works there so his dj mates are going to show a natural interest. And of course its Pulps first recording in a decade. Hearing it on Zane Lowe or even XFM would be more impressive though.

Has been mentioned on XFM as a news item, and they have it on their website http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/pulp-unveil-new-material but as yet, no plays in XFM London. 

Not sure XFM play much post 2005 these days, except Mumford & Sons and Jake Bugg...

might be of interest, those cards were made by Think Tank (they blogged about it)

http://www.thinktankmedia.co.uk/blog/Pulp

Might be intereting to see if they have any 'upcoming' projects for the client?

The mp3 thing gives me hope the track'll be properly rlea7ed someday. Blurs fools day was uploaded by them as mp3 and wav when the single sold out.

I was only asking because a FLAC version would give rise to the idea that a CD version exists.... it was playing on Australian Radio a few times this week. Triple J + fBi which was just the weirdest thing. I turned it up at work...

If you think about it, hearing it on Triple J really isn't that much of a surprise.

Just in case there was ever any doubt, I can confirm that when played in a disco environment, After You is a grade A banger (you have to watch the fade-in at the start mind).
