Pulp

I've always been drawn to dark, hopeless, stick-a-knife-in-your-chest-pull-it-out-re-insert-and-twist type of unrequited love songs.  Or more simply put, "I love you but you don't love me" songs.  Some songwriters are over-the-top while bitterly trash talking their escaped loves and others paint the pained picture so perfectly.  You feel what they are singing about, even if you're not in the same uncomfortable situation. I'm sure many songs are autobiographical.  It can b... MORE

I freaking love this song. I heard the recent William Shatner/Joe Jackson/Ben Folds version, and it too is quite exciting. There is no way to make this song unexciting. Even with its thorough Britishness. My god. Pulp's "Different Class" album is a solid mid-90's explosion of rock & roll goodness. I can't get enough of it. I mean, it's not quite "69 Love Songs" by Magnetic Fields - that album I REALLY can't get enough of. But Pulp's magnificence was never more obs... MORE

"you are the last drink i never should have drunk.you are the body hidden in the trunk.you are the habit i can't seem to kick.you are my secrets on the front page every week. you are the car i never should have bought.you are the train i never should have caught.you are the cut that makes me hide my face.you are the party that makes me feel my age. like a car crash i can see but i just can't avoid.like a plane i've been told i never should board.like a film that's so b...

Mogrades, the unthinkable has happened. Despite the best intentions of a committed gruop of surporters, who acted in all your best interests to steer the competition to a result benfitial to all our peoples, Pulp have been eliminated from the World Series of Ninties Pop Songs. A United Opposition of enemies of the people, led by one Known Human, has been successful in their bourgeois-Trotskyist machinations. A true hymn of the proletariat has been defeated by a song d...

So, how disturbed is the human race now really? None of us are perfect, and we seem to be hiding quite a lot of our feelings because we might think that we are complete lunatics because we have them. Guess the human race in general is a tad more disturbed than we assumed (ergo, maybe we’re not so weird after all): “We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the sameWe had a fight on the promenade out in the rainShe said she loved me, but she had somewhere to goShe couldn...

I was out and about in the Sussex countryside yesterday, having a bit of well deserved downtime, as things have got a bit quiet, work wise. Tuned in to BBC's Radio 2 and was enjoying some nice Cheese and Marmite sandwiches, wot I had made that morning, reading my current fave philosophy book, thinking that life could not get much better (I'm a simple man, with simple pleasures), then on came the following two tracks. Pulp's - Do You Remember The First Time. Then fol... MORE

So it’s a little past midnight and I find myself listening to a song that I adore, and haven’t heard in so long. Pulp was over shadowed by Oasis and Blur in the 90’s but they made a splash with “Common People”. And because its random and kick ass, I will share my midnight song with the few who are up. Tania

Yes, yes, yes, I know this is nothing groundbreaking, or an amazingly new theory. And you probably (and hopefully I may add) know the difference. Though once or twice in your lifetime you confuse the two, especially in the early goings of our loving careers. However, when in doubt, listen to these two songs, and you might recognize which of the two it is. The first one is, what I think, the best love song ever made. The second is a song as sexy as you-know-what. The ... MORE

Stomach in, chest out, on your marks, get set, go! All roads lead back to Pulp. Yup. I’ve made my share of overly long posts with analysis of albums and what not. This is not one of them. Everything speaks for itself, basically, because it’s just how it is (Kitchen Sink reality even?). Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it’s all the bloody same. I get up late, work on my bachelor thesis, all my friends are off on holiday, if I don’t wan... MORE

One of the finest song writers to come out of Sheffield. What a tune

This is quite the site, kids. Kudos for JG for leading me here. I have an urge to add and tell as many people as possible about this, and then I have the urge to just keep it secret. Decisions, decisions.

Here is a really cool place for hang out when your guys visit Phanom Phen, Cambodia. I'd rather say i was so surprised having a place like this in Khmer Empire! The owner is Thai - kinda cute, indeed. Address: #213 A street No. 19 Sangkat Chey Chom Neas, Khan Doun Penh, Phnom Penh (Behind Royal Palace). Foods, Drink, Girls, Guys or whatever you are looking for doesnt matter. You will be hooked with music like this:
