Is it a pun on "Trees Are Green"? My aunt Theresa used the same play upon words in the early 90s to name her gardening shop!
It's a quote from a bootleg of a concert somewhere...one of the outside dates from 2001/2 I think? "Have you met my friend Theresa?" asks Jarvis. "Theresa Green" [Trees are green].
Awful. Barely registers as a joke. But it's what's said. Is it well known enough that it's referenced here? Or does he still think it's funny? :)
Partial Eclipse appeared on ASCAP, no trace of the others tracks except A sunset and HOTN. what are these other unknown songs ? Pulp or Jarv Is?

Performance of a Lifetime is a Pulp song demo'd in 2000.
Roundhead & Cavaliers is a lyric from Theme from Likely Stories EP he did for a Neil Gaiman TV adaptation in 2016 so maybe it's that track.
No idea about the rest. They may have never been fully recorded. I'm all in for Rats With Wings In 1971 though.
What an extraordinary day. After a phoneless day working outdoors, in blissfully fine spring weather, popped onto the internet for a 'quick' check of email before bed, and here I am 6 hours later. A new Pulp single. A new Pulp album. Lauren Laverne. A controversial AI video, which I enjoyed, and think was a clever and interesting choice. Haven't been here for awhile - foolish of course - so all unexpected, and delightful.

God, anyone gonna go in for the two full bundles of merch with the album in all formats and the clothes and trinkets?!
When the (previous) last lot of reunion gigs were announced, and Steve had passed, I thought the time for new Pulp material was gone, and that I wouldn't want any more...
And then I hear there's a new album, and I go crackers and buy, what was it? 8 versions? It makes no sense. Why do I need this stuff? Downloads don't work for me, physical copies are the way I hear albums - so 1 CD is perfect. But no, I buy a whole bunch of things AGAIN that have no use, and I have to do a bunch of work to earn back.
Did manage to resist the 2 ganzeys (don't like them), the cap (will never in my life wear a baseball cap. why would Pulp fans wear baseball caps?), and the manky looking bag. Everything else will be on the way to me in June.
I had a Pulp baseball cap in the '90s but I was only a young one! I was looking at all the stuff but I want the CD in my hand there and then so I think I'll wait and just buy it on June 6th in a bricks and mortar shop. The tape is pulling on my heart strings because it was a cassette of Different Class that started this whole journey off and it was years before I got a CD copy of it. TiH was also a cassette. CDs were so dear at the time so I almost always went for cassette. I like some of the t-shirts but I think I'll wait till Dublin. I think the best piece of merchandise they ever had was the tea caddy! It's in use every day when I've to go into the office or on day trips to the beach and I want me tea

Well Year of the Dog is Relaxed Muscle of course.
Honeyland, Death Eaters, Slow Death are on the BPI database as Jason Buckle / Jarvis Cocker compositions so could be as well?
Eurostar, La Ceremonie, Lou, Only Thing are on as Jarvis solo compositions.
I Found Your Cat, Morning Commute, Next Station, Tomis Cummutes, What Do I Do Now are Jarvis Cocker / Sarah Anderson compositions - does that ring any bells with anyone?
(The) Died is on as a Cocker/Banks/Webber/Doyle/Mackey composition.
I suspect most if not all of these will be working titles for better known tunes - the Sarah Anderson stuff is a bit of a mystery to me though.

Ah - Sarah Anderson was in the original line-up of Bas Jan and worked on Likely Stories with Jarvis. I bet these are either working titles from that EP or soundtrack cues then.

Do Japanese releases still commonly include extra tracks (did the Manics new album for example?)?
Some. Blur had a couple and said they wouldn't be available elsewhere, but 2 or 3 months later they were on streaming sites.
Pulp had a big following in Japan, so its likely. I doubt they recorded just 11 tracks.
I dont know about the manics but it seems like a japanese exclusive: https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Manic-Street-Preachers_000000000005970/item_Critical-Thinking_15488630

I became aware of this a few days ago but finally got round to posting.
It's fantastic news and most of the new songs I've heard live had a lot of potential so with a few more bells and whistles added, they will sound great on record.
It's quite interesting that 4 of these are ballads (Hymn of the North, A Sunset, Slow Jam, Farmers Market). I wonder if "Tina", "Grown Ups" and "Partial Eclipse" will be anthems. Or maybe one of them will be a spoken epic. Let's see...
(will never in my life wear a baseball cap. why would Pulp fans wear baseball caps?)
I wear a baseball cap every day (I already own a JARV IS... one)! Don't really understand this at all, why wouldn't a Pulp fan wear a cap? It's just a cap innit.

I also wear baseball caps during the summer. They're a great fit and the best way to be protected from the sun. And the early 20th century style is timeless.
I have a Pulp baseball cap but generally wear a Peaky Blinders type flat cap whenever the sun is out. Not cos I'm trying to look trendy - I'm a Pulp fan after all - but because without out you could probably fry eggs on my noggin.

I think in Britain its just associated with American jock culture and more recently MAGA. There's the Libertines line isnt there 'ive never seen a more distressing sight than that of an Englishman in a baseball cap'.
