There already is one here

I've been away on holiday, so I've only just found this thread.

Over the last couple of months I've been experimenting with the idea of a wiki-type site dedicated to Pulp. The results can be seen by clicking on the link Ian posted above. I haven't mentioned it anywhere before because it is still in the early stages of development.

I'd certainly be interested to read what people think about the site and also, in general, whether you think a Pulp wiki site is worth doing.

And obviously, feel free to edit or add to what's already there.

I can't view the band members on that Pulp Wiki ^

Everything else seems okay though.

That's because those pages don't actually exist yet. Note the little question marks by those links, they are there to indicate that the pages don't exist.

I will add pages for the bands members eventually (unless someone else is kind enough to do it first).

It would be really great if all the Pulp info (steves reviews and stuff like that) from the old Bar Italia site could be put into the/a wiki.

Yes, I'm still working on it. Pulp keep putting out records which necessitate the rewriting of several suddenly-outdated pages. How inconsiderate of them!

Anyway, for sure nick whatever information you want (most of it was nicked from elsewhere in the first place), and use the lyric transcriptions if you like (though a credit might be nice - I put a lot of effort into some of them, working out things like the correct numbers of ohs and ahs and mms and yeahs, or trying to "transcribe" weird Jarvis noises - and a good few of them were done by other people, so I'd be a bit peeved if their credits weren't ported across), but you can't have my reviews. Sorry.

Because it amuses me. I like finding differences between the printed lyrics and what's actually on the record, and noting down any flubs or apparent ad-libs. I've no interest in duplicating whatever transcriptions are already written "on their sleeves and their website". Those are already on their sleeves, and their website. As for choruses... well, I don't really like to see someone write "(Chorus x3)" or what have you, unless repetition is the nature of the song (e.g. Srpski Jeb, That Boy's Evil). I like to think that having the whole thing transcribed in detail increases confidence in the rest of it being correct, as opposed to whatever's on the nth Google-pondweed mirror/copy of HitSuperPopLyrics.net or something.

Anyway, it's my way and I like it. Sorry you don't. Let's hope a war doesn't break out or something.
