Why are Pulp so unpopular now?

Anyhow, does Beck at #1 and Pulp at #10 really represent, any longer, a true consensus of American rock critics? I doubt it...The result is a poll that's entirely predictable: I told Schumacher-Rasmussen weeks ago that Beck would win; I would not have predicted that Pulp would muster enough support to make the Top Ten but that's because it's hard to imagine the degree to which weenie critics remain devoted to their Anglophilia, no matter how many bullets Britpop shoots into its own brain.

OMG

"I've been writing some songs. When I've got enough ones that I think are fit for human consumption then I'll try and decide what to do with them."

the PULP dvd is a-mazing. truly a How To...
for pop bands making a dvd.

Someone needs to cast Cillian Murphy in a Pulp biopic asap based on that "Monday Morning" video.

so, US tour includes NYC (Radio City)

Right?? I revived another thread this morning and have been refreshing ILX to see who wants to talk about that! Trying to weigh the odds of them adding a Toronto show or me dropping $400+ on airfare and hotel (if I can even GET a ticket to this..) ....Sigh.

Saw em in the '90s, may try Music Hall b.o. on Friday... bcz common people don't pay Ticketmaster.

I saw them in the 90s too.. doing the Pulp poll really rekindled my love affair last year and they're back in my top rotation nowadays. Plus who knows, maybe ENBB will split hotel costs with me? :D

i'm definitely going to try to get tickets to the show in nyc, and talking about maybe going to see them in spain!

I saw this earlier and have basically been freaking out ever since. I have never seen them! There is no way I'm not going to that NY show. Tickets go on sale Friday, right?

Lex - we should totally do that.

yeah, friday at 10 am. i bet it's going to sell out so fast!

I know. I am nervous about not getting tickets. AHHHHH! So exciting.

I hate that it's on a Wednesday. Guys, I don't want a vacation in New York on a Wednesday! Eeeee. E!!! I will have to crunch some numbers and figure out if I can do this. E - what's your job like in terms of being around for a 10AM sale? BRB, signing up for radio city mailing list in hopes there might be a presale.

What'll the cheapest seat in the house be, $35? Any fee on top of that and I'm out.

Morbs, that's so unfair. Think of the deprived Canadians who might not even get a show!

BRB, signing up for radio city mailing list in hopes there might be a presale.

i did this too! haha.

I can't find any sign up links? Like, even to make an account before the sale? I feel dumb.

it's here: http://www.msginsider.com/

ahhh, wonderful. Thank you!

Siging up now.

Lex - sounds good. The Wednesday thing BLOWS but for this I'll make it happen even if it means taking a half day and jumping on the Fun Wah that afternoon.

Well I'll be at my desk on Friday at 10:00 so I should be able to try and get them. A pre-sale would be awesome though.

man, all the flights I am seeing are $400+ round trip 0_0
I wish I knew if I would be able to get a deal somewhere, I am afraid to risk it. Maybe my ability to get a ticket will be what decides it? Eep. I'm at my desk at 10AM (or 8:30-5 any day, if presale) too..

Okay, yes. If I can get a ticket, I will be there. Even if I have to take the stupid bus!

presale begins on wednesday:

and i may actually be going to spain!!!!!

Yaaaaay!!! Spain would be amazing. I can't even begin to think about considering that since we're going to Cuba next month and I'm whining my ass off about a simple flight to NYC, heh.

I don't have an Amex! Fuckers!

i can try to get you a ticket and you could paypal me? i am pretty sure i have an amex.

i found a flight to madrid for $580 which isn't bad and i've always wanted to go to spain.

Rereading the top of the thread. Smh at the wedding reception where everyone went nuts to Roll With It and Country House but Common People cleared the floor. I hope Tom is no longer friends with these terrible people.

dude, I would love that! I could very easily and happily paypal this. We need E to weigh in re: her ability to get a ticket as well. Perhaps Americans tend to have American Expresses, I unfortunately have a Mastercard and a VISA and that's enough for me, haha.

Hey! I dont have amex is that the only card u can get the.presale tix w?

I've seen that before - why did I never get an AMEX knowing that they frequently have this Ticketmaster exclusivity clause? Grrrrr. I don't want to screw up b_g's chances at getting a single ticket!

alright i found my amex card! i'll see how many tickets i can get. happy to try to buy them for you two!
