Pulp 2010?

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Taken from Planet Sound:

Pulp deny reunion rumours

Pulp will definitely not be reforming, PS can reveal.

Newspapers have made the claim for the last two weeks.

But Jarvis Cocker told PS: "I can categorically tell Teletext that Pulp have no plans to get back together. Someone asked me if I fancied playing at the 40th anniversary of Glastonbury, I said yes, they twisted that into a 'Pulp reform' story. It's not true."

What to believe? Two Sunday tabloid stories, one with a twisted quote and the other with a totally fabricated and false quote, or Planet Sound, who consistently publish far more accurately sourced festie stories than the likes of NME?

No doubts whatsoever - believe Planet Sound. That'll be the accurate story.

So no Pulp.

I thought he just pulled stories off here and published them a day after you?

Not all the time - as you see, this time eFestivals has pulled a story from them (not for the first time).

But that just goes to show that Planet Sound know where to find the accurate stories, just as eFestivals knows where to find the accurate stories.

Sadly, Planet Sound will be no more at the end of the year when Teletext shuts down.

I'm gutted about this

My only glimmer of hope is I seem to remember Damon quashing Blur reunion talk at around this time last year and we all know that ended up happening.

Maybe i'm just clinging on to what little hope we have

[LondonTom]

I still refuse to believe!, it could be them hiding the slip up or teletext going out with a bang

I think you are. There's no real "Pulp to reform" story here at all, it's something cooked up by bored media people who have pages to fill in their rags.

It's a standard thing for the printed press, as they have a set number of pages to fill, and in the absence of anything real to fill them with they'll invent something - if you've ever seen the BBC documentary "Blood on the turntables" about NME, you can hear many of their ex-writers state that they did this constantly. The tabloids are no different.

I'd trust Planet Sound over these charlatans any day - and history tells me that Planet Sound nearly always gets such things spot on, exactly as they did with the false Depeche Mode playing Glasto stories that came around earlier this year.

Hmm, well my mate wouldn't lie to me about this, Steve Mackey had mentioned it to her, which makes me think there has actually been talk and they've decided against playing now, or they want to keep it quiet for the time being in the press.

You were the person who knew Jarvis will be playing last year like 9 months prior wernt you??

it wasn't nine months prior, it was in March. But yes, he was.

I really don't think there's any reason to doubt the Planet Sound story tho. People like Jarvis don't tend to say that something is a newspaper fabrication unless it really is, because they have years of experience in knowing how to play the media, and calling the papers liars is a dangerous thing to do if the lie is not theirs but yours.

My own limited experience of Jarvis is that he's extremely straightforwards with what he says, and I can't see why this would be different.
