The last twelve months have been, err, dull.

Having given away After You on Christmas Day and then appearing on TV early in the year, I expected more, but that was it.

I suspect 2014 may be more interesting.

Yes, I hope so, too, but Jarvis seems very busy doing lots of other stuff, so not sure how he would have had time.

Do you reckon they'll have a premiere-type thing for the Pulp film?

Has After You featured much in the end of year singles/tracks/song polls? The Soulwax remix was in NME's but I've not seen mention of it elsewhere.
I must say, it's a bit disappointing that having been met with pretty strong reviews when it officially came out in January, the airplay for After You, on 6Music anyway (who are the only station likely to play it regularly I guess), seemed to tail off rather quickly.

Regarding the reunion itself, I also wonder did it leave much of a legacy in terms of new and young bands discovering the band or even if it has made much of a dent with sales in the back-catalogue. All their top/second-top from the bill festival appearances got rave reviews more or less across the board. You'd think that would make an impact somewhere. Maybe it's hard to quantify these things (beyond sales and Youtube/Spotify streams which, in fairness, I think have spiked quite a bit since before 2011). Or maybe music as a life-changing thing is a more alien concept than in previous times. It shouldn't really matter but I think public perception is still quite important to Pulp. If they have carried on, I imagine it's as much down to the goodwill and reactions they got from crowds in the reunion as it is to them enjoying playing together again.

I just hope Pulp have spent this quiet time doing some writing or recording

 The films facebook page does state 'their last ever UK show' so it could possible the last :(
