It's an excellent song and I love the messier, madder, rougher, faster live version that was so short-lived. Jarvis doesn't like his lyrics on it, apparently.

What a shame, that the band convinced themselves they couldn't make it work live. Perhaps the production sold the song short, but I love it live as a ragesome beast. Here's the version from Roskilde, unpolished yet unstinting. www.youtube.com/watch

(Jarvis's raincoat at Glasto 1998 was such a good look, one of his best ever I think. Must've been hot though!)

Kapranos might love his uncle Jarvis (actually, they're closer in age than you think. Al was a late pop bloomer too) but shouldn't he be keeping secrets secret ?

Looks like he didn't explicitly say that...

"Someone was telling me this morning that Pulp are going to play on some stage tomorrow. Maybe, I dont know. Somebody was telling me that Haim are playing, that Lorde was playing this morning as well, he continued."

Maybe, but he throws out the most commonly hinted at secret sets, Pulp and Haim, so it could be that he knows as much as the speculating punters.

Surely it would be.

Jarvis is usually at Glasto, but if anyone spots Candida, Nick or Mark then we're defo in business.

Apparently, Jarvis - during his DJ set - had a Pyramid Stage wristband on his wrist.

Jeanette Lee's there, but I suppose she probably would be, right? Doesn't mean anything...

A BBC Breakfast piece apparently confirmed their appearance this morning ?

Also, Emma & Rich both played with Beth Gibbons' band at the Roundhouse last night and are on at Glasto tonight at 9.15pm, a couple of hours after Patchwork finish. Could they be double-jobbing? Incredible if so. The Pulp set is undoubtedly muscle-memory by now but they'll be knackered.

Ester and her friend Ben have made it onto BBC News!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cglzy424l5lt

The rumour mill is in overdrive about the mystery band known only as Patchwork, in the line-up for later today.

Ester from Norwich and her friend Ben are already here at the Pyramid Stage, and they're convinced it's Pulp.

"I've seen them 29 times, and this would be the 30th," Ester tells me.

The pair got here at 09:00 and are planning to wait it out till the mystery set at 18:15.

And if it's not Pulp... "I'm going to cry. Go back to my tent," says Ester. "Or start a riot."

I love this. Its like transfer deadline day!

Anyway, on an unrelated note, my mates sister-in-law is at Glasto and she heard someone in the queue for the portaloos say that Gordon Banks nephew has been walking around the healing fields unaware that he has part of a setlist stuck to his shoe. And they could make out the word Cuckoo

And the daily star website (yes, I know) currently have regurgitated that incorrect story about Pulp and the This Is Hardcore sleeve and its their top headline.

Nick is off on a free transfer from Wednesday to Rotherham by all accounts. He'll be their third choice goalie next season and will undertake his coaching badges at the same time. His daughter is said to be mortified.

Thanks Pip. Do you have a copy of this one? (Does anyone?)

I used to have a real bee in my bonnet about Glastonbury 98. I guess because 95 had been broadcast live in full on the radio, and the TV coverage even though it was more bitty was enough to give a flavour. Then because the 98 coverage was so patchy and disjointed, it was quite hard to get into it properly and get a feeling for the arc of the gig. I even went to the extent of painstakingly compiling a C90 of the full thing from the various radio broadcasts and This Is Glastonbury (right down to splicing all the bits of chat together!). 

 

So... the UK Arena coverage is the most complete, including everything that went out on BBC2 at the time assuming it was actually Glory Days / Common People), plus three more. Of those songs, Little Soul and I'm a Man have since popped up on iPlayer.

 

And we've still got the following that haven't been shown anywhere:

 

The Fear

Live Bed Show

Seductive Barry

TV Movie

 

Unless there's some random European cable channel that's shown the whole thing, as sometimes seems to happen?

 

(And yes, I am pointedly ignoring any rumours of anything that might be happening today...)

I was there at Glastonbury 1998, but of all the Pulp gigs I've been to it's the one I remember least.

Indeed I do. It's a 2nd gen copy, the UK Arena highlights were included on one or those VHS compilation bootlegs you used to get at record and tape fairs back in the 90s. Not the best quality but it's the only copy I've ever had.

I also have various recordings of the BBC2 coverage, including my own off-air (backed up to DVD) and A Little Soul from the recent(ish) compilation.

I missed the iPlayer broadcast of I'm A Man back in 2023, though I imagine it was cropped to widescreen which wouldn't be ideal.

If anyone has a copy of that handy I can look at putting together a complete-as-possible version to share... something to consider!

There are photos of Pulps flightcases being moved into place doing the rounds now seems pretty nailed-on

The Secretglasto account on X effectively confirmed it a few hours with a totally un-cryptic tweet. Roll on 6.15pm!
