Another minor observation that skirts along the sweet/humorous borderline is that even in the pitch black when he's conducting other musicians and not playing anything himself Jarvis still jumps and leaps about doing his wiggly arm and finger moves.
I think it's fair to say that Pulp did fairly well out of the '95/'96 era. Do note, for example, that Russell bought his house a few weeks after the early '96 (I think) arena gigs.
I don't have a problem with them reuniting for more money either, though. They brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people, and they deserve whatever recompense they like, frankly!
