Some of the questions were a bit...rude/disrespectful or something...but also some that I'd like to have asked that aren't usually raised. Pulp may well be cranking out Help The Aged in their dotage which is scary yet reassuring.
Oh, missed the bit saying it would be on iplayer. The brief clip looked amazing !
I'm amazed by the high-level plugging of the record recently (BBC Radio 1 Breakfast, this - peak entertainment times for the casual fan of a certain, large demograph). Why hasn't he done this for his last four or five records ?!
Hes just been on The One Show from his home. The picture he has on his wall is the same as one in the WLL booklet.
They were in Castletown last night - recorded themselves playing the album live - video to be released next week before the album launch.
Itll be on iplayer.
The credits at the start of the cave excerpt on The One Show were for Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard who produced Requiem for 114 Radios. That was a weird art thing with 114 ancient radios all playing different versions of a piece of music, one of which was Jarvis. It was in some unused basement bit of the Colston Hall in Bristol and was dead creepy.

It's presumably not always the artist's choice. Wasn't there some argy-bargy a few years ago with certain "established" artists claiming they were banned from Radio 1, when the reality was Radio 1 had just decided they weren't young and hip enough any more.

Some very cool interviews recently that I have very much enjoyed reading, and a wonderful little glimmer of hope at the end of the New York Times one. It's nice to know the door may not be 100% completely closed on more Pulp someday, despite how unlikely it is in reality,

I liked that interview. A little more probing and some good insights.
