bonjour all i'm a first time poster, recently came across this forum.
obviously a pulp fan, and work in a vaguely creative industry so i am often noticing these links - i love the myriad creative influences/"adjacent" artists/music/films/books that inspired the band (individually and as a collective) and inform their work, or have gone on to collaborate with them. i am often delighted to find a long time influence of mine is linked with them somehow, which seems to happen often! just curious what you guys consider to be pulp 'adjacent' or if you ever noticed any of those connections.
i'll start:
michael clark, dancer (did a piece w/ jarvis at the barbican center i believe?)
john currin, painter (worked w pulp on the help the aged video)
alan vega & martin rev of the band suicide (jarvis interviewed alan on his radio show)
brian eno (no explanation needed!)
velvet goldmine (todd haynes' film, pulp contributed to the soundtrack)
le palais idéal - architectural art piece in france, covered in jarvis' art doc series
kes / kestral for a knave - film/book that's been reffed by both jarvis/russell

I am a lucky boy: got to see La Monte Young perform a raga in the Dream House in NYC in about 2015. Were only about 30 of us sat cross-legged in there. Pretty stiff by the end but oh-so-psychedelic
no shade but i always am pretty impressed by mark's range in taste whenever he gets the opportunity to share in interviews etc. not that i have specific instances in mind, just generally. i suppose i feel that way about all of them tbh, like when i heard candida filling in for jarvis once on sunday service.
also @superchob soooo cool re: the intimate la monte young show at the dream house!!! also jealous of that. i live here so i've ~experienced~ the dream house more than a few times over the years, but i had no clue he performed as recently as 2014! did you go for journalistic reasons or was it just happenstance?
