Pulp

[rexclark]

Better just picking up Countdown, it's the best of the early years if you don't want to invest in all the albums.

[VCK]

Well Pulp looked fantastic at Primavera, and from what I've gathered The Strokes have hit pretty bad form recently. So do people reckon at Reading we will see a repeat of The Prodigy in 2009, Arcade Fire in 2007, Morrissey in 2004, Green Day in 2001 etc?

In other words can we see Pulp completely blowing The Strokes off the stage? As much as I love The Strokes, I get the feeling us Leeds-goers will be getting the better deal...

[mrtourette]

I couldn't agree less about Morrissey in 2004, I thought The White Stripes were excellent, but yeah there's a good chance that Pulp could be a lot better than The Strokes. Still looking forward to them though.

Looking forward to seeing the IOW setlist, anybody know somewhere that is putting that as it's going on?

[PaulDavis]

Can't believe there was no highlights on Sky Arts though, The coverage is diabolical

1 hour and 10 minutes is not enough, I hope they get as long as a headliner at Reading. I personally think Pulp will smash The Strokes off at RnL.

I know its all on youtube anyway, but bbc have a good hour long clip of pulps 1995 glastonbury performance for anyone who wants to get excited for seeing them. Sorted for E's and Wizz and disco 2000 were both new songs.

Watched their Glastonbury set on iPlayer, this is going to be incredible. I'm extremely glad Leeds have them after The Strokes on the Sunday, couldn't think of a better way to end the weekend.

Speaking as a straight male I find there to be something very attractive about Jarvis. Without the beard of course.

Surely I'm not alone in having this strange man crush?

Yes!!!

[Banana Co]

Is it me or is it really hot in here?

[hazzamid11]

I also have a bit of a man crush on Win Butler, he has to be one of, if not, the coolest person in the world.

from my memory everyone was shite in 2004, as in every single band, worst reading ever.

Actually Razorlight were good, that was it though

pulp were simply incredible at wireless this evening.

it's gonna be one hell of a night...

[Benj]

I thought Green Day were the best band of the weekend that year by a country mile, but then i was a massive fan at the time so maybe i was looking at it through rose tinted glasses

[Benj]

Well, your memory is wrong. The Hives were absolutely incredible for one.
