I have two spare tickets for Pulp on September 1st if that'll cheer you up.
I always do this. Why on earth did I buy four?
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:19, 3 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

Why on earth would you have bought even one?

because, setting aside what you think of their music
they are a fucking excellent live band.

Surely these two things are intrinsically linked?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:40, Reply)

if you hate their music, of course.
But if you are ambivalent it's worth seeing them play live, he's a remarkable showman.

I'm all for seeing a good live band and being pleasantly surprised as a rule
I do draw the line at Pulp, however

you might be right about many things
but you'll forever be wrong about this.

He should have got an OBE for that Michael Jackson thing. That was pure genius.

A friend of mine reviewed their recent gig
thequietus.com/articles/06542-pulp-live-review
He's a bit of a 'marmite' writer, so don't blame me if you disagree with what he writes
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:55, Reply)

Having read that, I put it to you that he is in fact not a 'marmite' writer, but a 'marmite miner'.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:58, Reply)

His writing is fairly fucking pretentious, I have to be honest.
But I agree with him about most stuff. Plus, I was at Finsbury Park in 97. Although the gig he'll always regret not being at, was Pulp at Glastonbury 95.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:59, Reply)

Of course it is
But writing about music usually is pretentious and over-opinionated and egotistical and of course, pointless - like Zappa said, it is like dancing about architecture.

Fo' sho.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 10:42, Reply)

not really
the music of Rammstein is largely dung but I'd still like to see them live.
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:56, Reply)

Conversely, I'd like to see them die.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:57, Reply)

I think a better question would be
why did you buy ANY? You're young enough to have been able to ignore Pulp altogether

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:20, Reply)

But smart enough to have discovered them anyroad.
And like with Blur I hate their Britpop 'anthems', it's the stuff like This Is Hardcore I love.

Cocker is a sound bloke, but I wouldn't buy a record off him.

His 6 music radio show was cracking.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:23, Reply)

He is rather ace.
I could listen to him talk about any old rubbish for quite a long time. And I *hate* the Yorkshire accent normally.

Dial 01 811 8055
And see if you can swap your spare Pulp tickets for a new jacket. It must be a good few days since you last bought one.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:28, Reply)

I sold two in the past week for a grant total of £160 cos I need money.
Then I bought a cardigan last night for £90. I just go round in circles.

For £90...

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:31, Reply)

May have also spent £90 on a cardigan.

( girlinthehole, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:33, Reply)

What was the pre-sale price of the cardie?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Fri 8 Jul 2011, 9:33, Reply)

I can't remember but it was well over £100.

It was down from £180 and effectively free cos of the stuff I sold.
But yes I am an idiot.

Oliver Spencer.

I hope for that money you got matching slippers and a big bag of Werther's, granddad

You're a fool to yourself.
A new football season is just around the corner and you're getting stocked up with expensive knitwear.

Alarm bells are ringing Bazza.

I care not about the football at the moment, to be honest.
I'm even missing us playing Newcastle up at theirs.

You've given up on Fulham, you've not added that Doris on FaceSpace and you've been going to gigs.

Now I think about it, his tips would get the job done faster.
But for now, I've done what I needed to do on the internet (Pulp tickets, abuse Louis Saha on Twitter, wank), so it's back to bed for me. Toodles.
