Willwiki recently uploaded to youtube the last Pulp performance on Jonathan Ross - Jarvis and Candida playing Birds In Your Garden in 2001. I think he had some inside knowledge ;)
I saw Madness on it last weekend and actually thought to myself it was a pity that Pulp hadn't done a bit more UK tv in their reunion like they did in America.
So will it be Disco 2000 or After You?
And a very nice performance it is as well.
I agree, they had no prime time TV at all I think I'm right in saying.
Oh my, imagine if it was After You! Although, wouldn't that mean that they'd be promoting a song that you couldn't actually buy...unless

If it's touring again, I say it'll be Disco 2000/Common People/Whatever, if it's a new album of sorts, it'll be After You. Pulp are so annoying sometimes, if Nick was truthful in his comment of After You purely being for the fans, why do this and (probably) perform After You?! WHY?!
My prediction anyway!
EDIT: Now I'm going to get excited that a Glastonbury headline slot is a possibility this year....

"The Jonathan Ross Show Saturday 2nd February at 9:45pm on ITV Episode 5: Jonathan welcomes the legend that is Sir David Attenborough, comedy superstars Eddie Izzard and Russell Brand, and action movie hero Dolph Lundgren. Comeback kings Pulp also perform live in the studio."
I'm surprised the producers are happy for Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand to be within 100 miles of each other, could be amusing.

I was just thinking yesterday about how much I really missed the band when this goes and happens. What is the point of it if they have truly finished? Nick said the other week to me that their engagement book is completely empty and that the last tour had definitely finished. Could it be a change of mind? Oohh, they blow hot and cold don't they?
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! If anyone could record this or something that would be awesome! I don't know if I'll be able to get it and I'm not sure if it will air on BBC America (or if we even get it on our cable provider)

I think it would be utterly bizarre for them to just do Disco 2000 for no reason at all after hinting they were finished for now. Promoting an official release of After You? Promoting this upcoming film of the gig?
I wonder will Jarvis also get interviewed? Suggs and one of the other Madness blokes did. You'd have to think Jarvis' profile isn't hugely below that (despite Madness' involvement with the Olympics). Plus I'm pretty sure Ross is a long-time Pulp fan.
I have a CD of Pulp rarities where the instrumental version of Sex City is followed by a snippet of Ross talking about Pulp with, if I recall correctly, Reeves and Mortimer. It cuts off quickly but I presume it came from a radio show of his circa 1993.
Blimey:
@Mark_Beech: Prince, Suede and Pulp comeback albums this year? Just spoken to a contact who is 100% sure of all three. Bowie watch out, you are not alone
I reckon it'll be After you - it seems to have gone down really well. I'm hearing it at least once a day on 6music at the moment!
They're bound to, though. It's playlisted. Pulp are cool and Jarvis works there. Haven't heard it anywhere else since. Still, as a test to its' popularity the next step would be to perform it for a more general audience.
Great news so far - by taking the trouble to promote it (if it is official After You release) it could mean it's a potential springboard for more. When are the TV listings first printed for Sat 2nd, are some out already? Wonder if an announcement was planned in next few days, or if there are media articles/interviews in the pipeline waiting to emerge.
Sure I read something about rumours of limited edition 12" of After You on Twitter, but could be just, well, rumours, and they could well have done that anyway without high-profile TV dates etc (or as well as).
The jigsaw is coming together..........Why perform an old song when "the tour has finished".....
One thing we all need to understand, Jarvis has always been quite clever regarding how to use the media.....for example "I can catagorically deny to Teletext that there will be a Pulp reunion".....next thing was O2 Wireless was announced. Maybe he has decided on the reverse psychology method of saying "its over" etc......to generate potentially even more interest rather than "yes were making a new album"........ The later would get the die hards like us excited but to come completely unannounced and out the blue with a release could be HUGE.
Think about it........ I was personally told that they were in the studio working what .... 1 1/2 year ago or something, a rework of an old song, no "goodbye" at the end of Sheffield gig, a DVD release, its all pointing to one thing for me..........
The only twist for I could see would be to perform an old song and to promote the live DVD - but how often do artists actually use TV to do that these days?
It was this time last year that pub landlord from Sheff gave you the lowdown, I remember you saying it here.
I'd still find it pleasantly surprising if anything new beyond After You was to be properly released but a high-profile tv appearance to seemingly not plug anything else seems odd. Finishing your career on a cruise and on Jonathan Ross sits pretty bizarre.
Im discreetly enjoying all these mystery elements regarding the whole thing. I am more certain than ever that they had demo'd new material than ever before now, and more so curious regarding the " see you in the studio tomorrow " comment from another thread
Amazing, isn't it? A few days ago I accepted that Pulp were done (for now atleast), and now all this happens. I just don't know what to expect anymore.
It was just as odd to go on us tv and really have nothing to promote. For some reason I remember Jarvis once on some radio show mention how pathetic it is to see old acts on stage. This might just be a way to do what u love and not look like the 'old' fools. Less attention
The difference being, they were touring at the time - they also had US gigs to promote so a tv appearence would have been a nice touch. This is seriously out the blue, I cant see any other reason as to why to do it - the dvd will not be ready yet, so I cant see it to be promoting that.
I think May was slated for the DVD and even that might be hopeful (y'know how Pulp are with delaying stuff). I'd be surprised if the appearance was for that.
Blimey I don't check the site for two days and then was watching Wossy and got a shock when he said Pulp would be on next week! Though they've been touring on and off since 2011 I really wasn't expecting anything to happen. I wonder will there really be a new album. Cool.

You say and think stuff when you're younger then when you reach that point you feel differently. Didn't he once say he'd stop performing when he was forty?

Is the interview with Jarvis kicking around anywhere from this appearance?
Remember when they played Misshapes and I think it was Babies at the NME awards - that was a big surprise (but reflected something Fred said just days before).
Then Fred asked us what sort of alternative 'new album' we would all like.
Then we had the After You surprise.
Now they're suddenly appearing on Jonathon Ross. You think it has to be After You, but I wouldn't put it past them to be something totally new!)
I wonder how it will sound live compared to the recorded version. A fair bit of production has gone into that, might see some alterations live. Anyone else applied for studio audience tickets?

I have it in mp3 form if that's any good for you?
Yeah thanks blueowl. I don't think I've ever heard/seen it. I remember being out the house that night &- workmates said it was quite funny. Been looking for it ever since!
It's becoming the norm for the musical guests doing the Ross/Norton/Carr comedy-chatshow routine that they are introduced at the start and play a little bit of a song before closing the show with a full song. I wonder what the bit at the start, if any, might be. The riff to Disco 2000 maybe.
this is so very awesome - we get it here but about a week behind! Completely off topic kinda sorta - but saw Richard Hawley last night here in Sydney! f**what a guy! Also stood next to the Red Wiggle for the entire gig.
It'll be the single only. Far too much the teases for anything more. And I can't imagine a DVD/deluxe edition being promoted on a prime-time show like this.
But maybe Wossy will ask Jarvis if there's more new stuff to come after he, Eddie Izzard and the audience go nuts for After You.
Maybe it'll just be on eof those Greatest Hits packages that has 3 new tunes amongst it's all to familiar track list. I can't believe there's anything left in the vaults (bar WLL material) to be exploited.
I'd settle for a four/five track EP rerecording of We Love Life offcuts. For Record Store Day.
Jarvis did, after all, once say he was following the trajectory of the Blur reunion, and RSD is a good time to get stuff out without tooooo much critical/chart attention being paid.
Oh no I've not heard again from the woman that was getting me in....!!!!
And some other PR person has said that normally there's not a problem with tickets but the world (well press types) are going mad to get in to see what russell brand says. yawn
Point of interest, but Jarvis and Russell B do have history. Jarvis was one of the songwriters for Brand's - pretty damn funny - Get Him to the Greek. J didn't write the best songs, but certainly must think something of Brand to have taken the project on.

And more than once I've seen pics of Jarvis in the paper going to Wossy's Hallowe'en parties, must be pretty matey.

Ok so tonight, no interview. russell brand is annoying (see above) though they'll edit it to make him look like the funniest fucker ever. I've met him a couple of times ,don't mean to name drop and he is actually very charming, but i really don't get it!
Sir David Attenborough was interviewed that was good, then Eddie Izzard but it kept getting interrupted by brand spreading his legs in his wet look leggings, anyway eddie izzard was good no belly laughs. dolph lundgren was quite painful...... not his fault i just don't think he'd seen the show. do your research man! looks good for mid 50s anyway.
then brand. yawn. look at me i'm an addict and i'm now int hare krishna and west ham blabla
THEN PULP (although they'd done 2 segments i think as the show starteed then after jonathan ross first bit) it was disco 2000
tricia, steve was looking hot hot hot. but a gay long scarf. jarvis had on his brown suit. oh i sat next to his girlfriend in reception. candida had on a beautiful sparkly/sequin dress i think she's worn it on gigs.
anyway pulp then did after you. it was good good good. i was hoping they'd fuck it up so they'd have to do it again. no interview, gutted. no word of an album or anything
so after that i went to the green room. the non famous one, although i didn't know there were 2 at the time. nick came in, i accosted him. i said i was a massive fan etc, but didn't ask about an album or anything as i chickened out. i asked though about gigs or tv. he said that their diaries were completely empty, with nothing planned, but who knows what will happen. he was very nice. even when i said 'i saw you in the canteen earlier, i thought i better not hassle you when you were eating your mash'. oh dear, mental stalker alert.
he said, yeah i had to eat mi'tea.
for your info, he had some sort of meat thing with gravy, mash, and green beans i saw candida in the canteen too, she had a different thing probably a pie, with mash, gravy and green beans. i also saw mark in the canteen but not what he ate. only saw him give candida a hug at the self service bit
oh i got my picture with nick too. i might put it up once i see what it looks like properly! i know he's blurry.
so nick says there is nothing in their diaries. but i don't believe him!!!! why would they have gone on jonathan ross??? i could ignore the tweets from that bloomenburg or wherever guy, but going on this show, there must be more to come.
sorry, i've drank wine for the first time in over 6 years tonight. hope this doesn't seem too mental!

nick banks currently in itv canteen. no I'm not going to speak to him. well I might once he's finished his mash.
maybe I should show him my pic of bankspottery and look like a total mentalist
yes it was after you, with disco 2000 segments. I'm in the green room waiting for them to come in, but I don't think they will. I'd probably not say anything anyway.
no interview. Russell brand was annoying.
no, but will post everything when I'm not on a phone in case it goes up 8 times. there is a famous person green room, I might go find it. and get thrown out.
