Incredible. Between this and the BBC2 live one.

I've said it before recently but isn't it amazing having Pulp back in the public eye so prominently again after so long? Especially as so many of us would have never thought it would have happened.

I am truly loving all this coverage and promo and press, it's an extremely exciting time to be a Pulp fan and a great feeling.

Seconds has blown everything wide open. We Are the Boyz too, such a rarity.

Stunned by Slow Jam which is just incredible.

Slow Jam. Slap bass on a Pulp song! Oooof. I might need a bit of time to reconcile myself to this...

It's all too much to take in but I will say I am absolutely LOVING Partial Eclipse - the outro instantly reminded me of It's Raining Today by Scott Walker. Knowing our Jarv that can't be coincidental.

We Are The Boyz - according to Mark, played live only once before at Camden Underworld in 1998. Maybe he was teasing Jarvis?

Certainly played a few times in 1998 according to PulpWiki:

9th June (Boston), 16th June (NYC), 18th September (Tokyo), 2nd October (Adelaide), 23rd/24th November (Manchester), 3rd December (Brighton)

The memory cheats?

He must have been taking the piss knowing that Pulp had outgrown sticky carpets in Camden long before then.

There were a couple of amusing moments towards the end of the performance of Acrylic Afternoons.

First of all, Jarvis sanitises himself as all good ex-BBC employees should, with desires on a quilted eiderdown of pulling any knickers down replaced with just vaguely wanting "to get down".

Then, in the last chorus, he hilariously nods to the yummy-mummy culture spawned since HnH by including BARNABY in the list of delightful little children that need to be beckoned home for their dindins. I think he needs to lean-in on this further if they play AA again. Skewer the pretentious names given to kids these days (Solaris, Halo, Audi, X - that kinda thing).

At the same time you can hear a wacka-wacka guitar effect for the first time in Pulp since live gigs in '92 and you're wondering who's playing it and if they're taking the proverbial.
Wonderful entertainment all-round !

Barnaby made me laugh out loud when I heard it. Surely that whacka - whacka guitar must be Jason Buckle?

 He didn't sanitise the "jerking off" that's dipped out in the radio edit. And I've always been amused that "screw" was too risqué in 1994 in DYRTFT but OK by 1995, all got through the 2025 censor. I suppose there isn't a readily available alternative in "dance and drink and screw", so they could just claim it was too difficult. And yes, Barnaby immediately leapt out at me too.

Good point on non-sanitation of GTHL. Maybe the line he edited in Acrylic was just beyond the pale...

Maybe they were worried that the ghost of Kenneth Williams would emerge from one of the seats in the BBC Radio Theatre and go "Ooh matron"

We Are The Boyz, the most underrated bside of the most underrated album ever.

Deserved more.
