This only went online yesterday. Looks like the session (Tina, Grown-Ups and Slow Jam) is from a rehearsal in London so I don't know when it was recorded. The Jarvis interview seems to be from just before the US tour.
Not sure if these performances are the same ones as those previously broadcast for one of the other US stations that was shares on here recently.
Anyway, another American interviewer who knows her stuff, asking good questions.
Mark never liked it, reminded him of Madness and Blur!
It amazes me how sometimes some good musicians have bad ears. It sounds nothing like those bands, at least in the version we got to hear. The dramatic twist and turns are classic Pulp. I'd be interesting to compare with the 97 demo.
Is anyone able to rip the audio? I will upload to my website if possible
You don't need to rip it, the MP3 is embedded in the site's sourcecode: https://wfuv-web.streamguys1.com/content/fuvlive/20251114120216-4302PulpFUVLiveSessions250821Edit.mp3
These are exactly the same recordings as those put forwards as World Cafe session tracks in September.
This new article says the songs were recorded in London at The Premises "during a rehearsal" by Tom Wright and mixed by Neil Heal.
There's a small bit of extra audio at the end of Slow Jam where they appear (to my ears, anyway) to play the crowd sample from Sorted for E's & Wizz - this was spoken over in the World Cafe interview. This makes sense if they were rehearsing for the tour.

What made them familiar was that Jarvis made those silly noises at the beginning of Grown Ups and missed his cue for Tina on the earlier broadcast. Oh well, at least the interview was new?!
