New 33 1/3 book on This is Hardcore
Permalink  
 

Hope everyone's going ok :)

I saw this recently via the Bloomsbury mailout announcing the newest 33 1/3's that are to be published in the coming year and thought I would share. This is Hardcore is on track for an early 2024 release. Authored by Jane Savidge - they have also published 'Here They Come With Their Make Up On' (still gotta read this) and 'Lunch With The Wild Frontiers'.

Some 33 1/3's are more enjoyable and interesting than others but about time a Pulp album is explored via this series with Jane at the helm. Also highly recommend Dylan Jones 'Faster Than A Cannonball : 1995 And All That' - chapter on Jarvis being the most famous man in the UK + YBA's + Blair + The Beatles etc. Devoured that one.

Ah that's interesting, I didn't know that Dylan Jones book was out! I was interviewed for it... did much of my rambling make it in there?

As the go-to Pulp guy for media soundbytes and cultural writers, shouldn't you be on the Pulp Payroll by now? You could handle all the 2023 requests for official comments and press interviews.

 

£5k a month from May-December with backstage passes x4 to every show they play. What would you say?

Ha ha. If you need to ask, you can't afford me!

It's funny, till recently I was never asked to be do this sort of thing (other than a bit for Life Death and Supermarkets which ended up on the cutting room floor, thank god). Then in the past couple of years there's been a few. I guess now some of the A Listers are tiring of being asked about all that stuff, they have to cast the net a bit wider. Long may the barrel-scraping continue!

Giles Acrylic is too wise to post here and too modest about his fantastic work in the "Pulp-field", the latest example is his interview with Jane Savidge on her new book on This Is Hardcore.
Some great questions and answers in the interview, linked below, just like with Nick a few months ago when he launched his book and hopefully similar illuminating insights will follow if Giles snags time with Marco Webber when it's time to launch his Pulpbible.

The book is out in a week or so, looking forward to it.

This paragraph has just made my eyes pop out for two separate reasons

My only connection to the band from the early days was that I went to university in Nottingham with Dolly [Peter Dalton]. He used to have ridiculously corkscrew-curly hair and kept telling me about a band he was in called Pulp. Id heard of Pulp because I used to listen to every John Peel session, so I was semi-impressed that he used to be in the band. I dont think he thought they were going anywhere at that point because hed left the band. He ended up joining the Nine OClock Service [Sheffield-based Christianity rave cult] which Antony Genn was also a member of.

I remember Jarvis saying that a couple of ex-members ended up joining that. Now we know who the other one is. I wonder if there were any more...

I've said it before but we need an Ant Genn memoir.

Old news re Dolly - it's in the Martin Aston book!

Jonathan Kirk (80s soundman / van driver / co-producer of Freaks) is the only other Pulp person I know of who ended up in the NOS.

Ah, I don't think I have read that book since yours came out. I must revisit it sometime. At the time, it was the best Pulp book available and it was great to hear from the band themselves.

I agree, Antony Genn would be an interesting one to read.

Wowsers. Just ordered. A saving and a half there, thanks!

https://www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/home/stationery+books/books/hardcore-the-cinematic-world-of-pulp/p/64768037

Postage is on top, but if you've got a store nearby it's only £1.99 click and collect, so still basically half price.
