Digitised my Pulp scrapbook
Permalink Closed

So I finally finished digitising my Pulp scrapbook.

FYI yes its a bit crap on the Heyzine platform especially on a phone but thought I'd do a ""soft launch""" here of it. My better half registered the name for me so I have a little bit of space within his website. Still working to embed it properly so at the moment its just a redirect to the Heyzine.

So much time and emotional energy has been invested into these pages ----over the decades - its a bit silly but also amazing that I'm now in my 40s and if I find something it goes straight in. Its moved towns, cities and states with me. And it has been on display once so has some exhibition clout :)

Many of the interviews I scanned and uploaded to PulpWiki but this is the scrapbook as is. Have a look if you have time.

Lovely to read that, thanks for scanning it all in!

As a side issue it really did bring home how terrible Melody Maker was in is final years. Painful.

This looks great. I had a quick skim through but will have a proper read when I have more time later.

One thing I did notice is that "Hits" was quite heavily promoted and positively reviewed yet it still only just managed to scrape into the top 75.

Thank you all.

Sturdy > Yes the Melody Maker was frightul - issues with Limp Bizkit on the front for one. But to a kid in Australia it was still a lifeline. My local newsagent didnt get NME but they did get in The Face, Q and MM. If I went to Sydney I was able to find NMEs at HMV.
Ian > Yes Hits - what a disaster. But everyone had moved on to The Strokes, White Stripes. I remember reading that it had come in at 75 and I thought it must have been a typo because it was so dismal.

Thank you all for your comments. Its as much for this community as well. I have been on here since 2007 - but I know I had another account before then.

My partner who is more tech bro than me is working on embedding it. I told him basically I want it to look like what you see in a museum. You see the label/didactic for contextual and then the artifact. Working with what I got.

Only a few days to go until they are in my part of the world. I feel like I'm now entering this weird phase 'please dont stress me out over the next few days + im focusing on getting enough food + sleep + energy for the gigs'.

This is sick! (as in good)

Poor Mark Webber photocopying and cutting and sticking all those Pulp 80s press-cuttings for the official scrapbooks back in the day seems such a labour of love - not that this isn't. It just looks great with the software user-friendly page turns.

The chronology towards the end has More popping up alongside stuff from years ago, a product of caring less as we get older about how we ordered our youthful passions, I guess!

Some of the text is hard to read even when zoomed-in but there's still a wealth of stuff here that is likely not on the Wiki or Acrylic Avos.

Thanks Eamon! Yeah its sick huh bruh! I feel old saying that.

Oh thats a shame some of the text was hard to read - I scanned it in at 400dpi so you can zoom in. I'll look into that. Yes lots of stuff is probably from newspapers and mags here. But a few months ago at the local Lifeline bookfair they have a tables full of magazines and someone obviously offloaded their old Q Mags. I bought 12 and so much Pulp goodness because they were from 94-through to 98. Amazing find. I know scrapbooking is a thing for wellness and mindfulness so maybe I was always ahead of the trend!

It means a lot that you've taken some time to have a look so thank you.

Thanks for this!

Courtney Taylor calling out Pulp lip-synching and playing to tape is something I've never heard before.

@luckyduck thankyou - I appreciate that!!

Frisko2000 - yeah that was for Livid 1998 here in Brisbane (page 81 in the URL). Apparently they were annoyed because their equipment was late - but they would have backing tracks ie Seductive Barry. Anyway whats Courtney going on with?? How about You Were The Last High... surely a few tapes are mixed in for that song (which I loveeee)

A Little Soul had that loop, and I guess This Is Hardcore had the pre-recorded orchestra intro. Which doesn't mean Courtney wasn't... slightly off the mark.

Sounds like for its live debut in NZ, Begging For Change had backing tracks of the original "choir" BVs playing. There's 8 other voices on-stage get them singing/chanting!

That's magic, thanks for sharing it. Over this winter I've been going through my Pulp stuff, inc. cuttings, and am going to assemble them into a folder, but it won't be anywhere near as nice as this.
