Surely there will be podcasts of Pulp here there and everywhere in the coming days and weeks. Doubtless more interviews. Another session or two would be fabulous. Space for the fans too:
I was a bit taken aback by Jarvis saying he wasn't enjoying Pulp towards the end... maybe I've glossed over that before, but I don't remember him saying that (unlike most of the rest of the band!)
How did Stephen get on at Radio Sheff this morning? Listening to the breakfast show now and enjoying it too much to rewind- they had a quiz about movies released in 1995 and now a segment about a gluten-free fish and chip shop in Barnsley and I can't get enough of the accents...
Thanks so much. I was soooo nervous, but the other guys were great. We possibly spent more time talking about Pulp than listening to Pulp. The radio picked a good mix of people and managed to not invite anyone too full of themselves, except for myself.
Louie was a young lad, about 22, and was so confused by Ellie's references to him being King Louie, which were more frequent off mic. We were there just over 90 minutes all told, then I ran to Bear Tree records to buy my copy - with a freebie. Shortly after, the rest of my family arrived and we did some Pulp sites! Really lovely trip out :)
Nah, you sounded cheery, knowledgeable (and i assume what they want the most) to the point without waffling. To be honest, you sounded a lot more nervous on the Russell interview!!
Must admit I nearly spat out my cup of tea when one of your cohorts said their favourite bit was Jarvis' line from Tina "Screwing in a charity shop". It's 07:48 as the reporter glibly noted
Thank you. I think I expected more questions to make me blank than actually did.
We also all totally cracked up when Fiona did that. Total ledge antics! She was an Australian born fan from way back. One of those who used to get NME and MM four months late, and sneak into the nightclubs when the Britpop bands finally came over. She lives in Sheffield now and has been in to the station more than once before as their resident Pulp-voice.
And the younger lad, Louis, had got into them two years ago when Spotify's algorithm played him Babies. He played it again and again and was as big a fan as any of us - just with a whole different experience.
As I said, it was a good mix of us they picked. Really fun morning.
I thought it was good of you to gently talk about Steve's death especially as one of the women had "killed off" Nick by accident hust before. I actually think you sound a bit like Steve too! And fair play for namechecking Nick, Mark and Candida.They just don't get much recognition on general-public entertainment slots for Pulp. Nothing new there, to the public at large it's all about Jarvis so good on yer for the effort.
I just realised why we may not see much telly or radio promo for Pulp in the coming days - cos they're on tour obviously! Maybe Jarv and Candy can at least pop into BBC breakfast next week after they come back from Dublin and sell a few copies of the album and shift the remaining O2 tickets from the sofa with Charlie and Naga.
Candida was on Radcliffe & Maconie's 6 Music show this morning. Great to hear more from her. And she sounds more positive about the future! And says Glasto didn't want them but the air of how they discuss it, felt a little mischievous...
Warning, contains audio of her first ever single being played...The Osmonds...
They haven't done any non-BBC broadcast media in the UK except for an interview between Jarvis and Absolute Radio when Spike Island came out and the album was announced.
I wonder if they're getting more requests for chats and they're just not arsed about them. The success of the album and tour suggests they might be right. I'd love to hear another session though.

Also their good socialist hearts having an aversion to the corporate game now its not necessary. They seem to be doing odd local podcasts, it's just the big corporate media they seem not to be particularly engaging with.
