What's this Pulp rumour all about?

[maninkilt]

If Pulp got back together there would be a place for them at Glastonbury witho have the optionut a doubt, not sure if I woud want to see them or not but would be glad to

[Mr Ploppy]

Blur this year was a big thing and I loved every minute of being in that crowd to enjoy it, but a similar thing by Pulp would just be the stuff of dreams.

Superb list there Rach - I would love the following in any order whatsoever...

Countdown

Underwear

Lipgloss

Help The Aged

Common People

Shes Dead

mishapes

Seconds

Es and Whizz

babies

Disco 2000

Razzamatazz

Dogs Are Everywhere (acoustic version although only probably only a hardcore fan pleaser)

Hang on...

Just realised I cannot compile a sensible list as I would want Pulp to play everything they have ever recorded. lol

They would have to put Something Changed as the 'The Universal' moment.

Heres hoping Jarv, the boys and Candida do a Blur, but I got a empty feeling that it wont happen.

Mr Ploppy

while i see what your getting at, glastonbury have certinly had headliners with much 'less' catalogs. e.g. killers/kings of leon/arctic monkey ectectectect

pulp have headlined before and went down a treat.

a list like this would go down a incredibly, wth everyone, grandads and students included.

do you rememeber the first time?

lipgloss

somthing changed

bad cover virsion

weeds

razzamatazz

this is hardcore

babies

common people

sorted for es and wizz

i love life

disco 2000

pink glove

seductive barry

tv movie

glory days

mile end

mis-shapes

mini temperly

i spy

actually thier list is endless. In my eyes they are on par with blur re: 'catalogs'. if im honest i think theirs well more closet pulp fans then blur ever.

[rexclark]

I can't really see it myself. But if they did play It could be a hit or a miss, they weren't half as good toward the end but with a few years apart the magic could be found again even if just for one night.

As has been said already I'd still be happy if jarvis just played solo.

[Bort]

Of all these bands reuniting, Pulp is the one I want to see more than any other, and everyone else but them is reuniting, it seems. FML.

God, they need to headline next year...that would be a special treat worthy of the 40th anniversary. Listening to "This Is Hardcore" from their Glasto 98 set right now...tremendous.

21. Ciao! (Lush cover featuring duet with special guest Miki Berenyi)

22. Disco 2000

23. Something Changed

[Mardy]

the only reason I have for thinking this might happen is he's just seperated from his missus so might need some cash for settlements etc.

[pukkaone]

Don't know why people think this is so unlikely? Jarvis was quoted as saying he would be watching Blur's performance at Glasto, with a possible view to reforming Pulp!

[Bort]

And they don't hate each other like The Smiths.

Pulp and Suede next year would allow me to die happy.

(Suede would not be allowed to play anything post-Coming Up)

[MEGABOWL]

I would be over the moon if Suede ever reformed but I very much doubt it'll ever happen.

[rexclark]

Likewise, first saw them about 2 weeks after Butler left. I'd love to see a full band reunion just playing the first 2 albums and their B-sides from around that time. Butler said that he'd rather stick a smashed glass bottle up his balloon knot though*

* I paraphrase, obv

[MEGABOWL]

I'd even be quite happy for The Tears to reform.

Aw man, you've just reminded me, I wandered past the NME Tent at Leed 2005 when they were on against the Foos on the main stage and there must have been about 20 people in the Tent. It was kinda depressing.

I'd be up for a Tears reunion, as long as they played the Suede b-sides 'Killing Of A Flash Boy' and 'Whipsnade', the B-sides to 'We Are The Pigs'.

[MEGABOWL]

I was in the tent watching them, the were excellent but the crowd was pathetic. I don't think they appreciated people shouting for them to play some Suede and one tosser shouting at them to play Elastica.

[howard the oryx]

I finally got round to buying "We love life" the other day and was blown away by how bloody good it was... The Night that Milly Timperley Died is perhaps my favourite Pulp song ever... such a shame I never got round to seeing them play anything of this record.

[HandBanana]

I have a theory on Pulp's last 3 records too.

That its 3 parts of the weekend:

Different Class - Saturday night. All the rising and then falling of the night out

This is Hardcore - Late Sat Night / Early Sunday Morning. The fun drops out and things get dark. Reflection turns to dread.

We Love Life - The sunday morning. Recouperation and taking stock of things.

Just my pet theory.

I've asked my friend who knows Jarvis about this (her partner is his current keyboardist) and all she said was there's been talk of it but at the moment it is only a rumour. Obviously this news is rubbish but I've asked her to tell me if there are any further developments!
