Another reunion would be great but I'm not sure how well it would be received by the media if they don't release some material.
Personally, I dont give a monkeys about the media reception I would be quite happy if Pulp did a run through every LP song by song including B-sides over a week and there was no new material at all. Jarv Is is a better vehicle for new material.

I think Jarvis is plugging his book at some festival or other this weekend. I wonder will he want to wait til that's over before the big reveal. Hopefully not! Let's get that Friday Feeling...
I'm trying not to build myself up into any real excitement or even attempt to speculate what it might be about, in order to avoid disappointment. I've learned this skill, as I'm sure many here have over the years of being fans.
But... something Pulpy is going to happen & that can only be a nice thing.
I wouldn't worry about any media response. The marketing for the 2011/12 reunion was primarily managed from a single Twitter account & let's face it - the guy has posted ONCE on his Instagram something pretty vague & it's all over the place already!
He's probably sold a few thou books in the past month with excellent reviews across the board. That's all the media profile shiz he needs. Besides, Pulp are big enough to do reunification on their own terms (ie one sole broadcast interview and no print ones during the whole of 2011/12).

So true. Did not have the record company hastily release a greatest hits. And the London & Sheffield dates, sold out in next to no time (well except Hyde Park, but that was 60,000 people in a field). And even when they released After You, they appeared on Jonathan Ross and disappeared, never to be seen again
no other band would have done that!

I admire Jarvis' media skills greatly :)
Fair enough, but I am looking for something to get somewhat excited about having missed a couple of festivals (illness) this summer and now with my week of Divine Comedy at Barbican in jeopardy due to my daughter heading off to college.
Ultimately, as you wrote, it can only be a nice thing so a bit of excitement cant do any harm, can it?
Even if there's no reunion and it's just a This Is Hardcore anniversary reissue, it's still nice to see that the forum has blown up within the past few days. So far, 243 people in the last 24 hours.

I would not be unhappy with a Hardcore reissue, but having the original CD, This is Glastonbury, the deluxe edition and the Plain vinyl reissue from 2009 (and all the CD singles in their many formats), it is not high on my list. Also I believe there was supposed to have been a Different Class 25th anniversary reissue along the lines of the His n Hers 25th. I guess COVID kiboshed that, but if there is a Hardcore reissue then surely Different Class should also be reissued as well. I still live in hope that PulpIntro appears on vinyl some day. The glaring omission for me and I am not willing to spend £75 for a copy off eBay.
I wonder were ticket sales slow for his event on Monday so he decided to entice more folk along... #cynical
Most likely not. As tickets were announced that same day, hour, he posted his. Or so I was able to sleuth.
