NME made it out to be some big competition Pulp Vs. The Strokes.
There was no showdown, they weren’t going head to head and the effect on sales can’t have been phenomenal.
There were comparisons, side taking, and even some name calling. Who would put on the better show? I love Pulp and rather fond of The Strokes as well so didn’t really care, living on the other side of the world I was just excited at the prospect of the shows being broadcast and eventually filtering to me through the wonder that is the internet.
And then I woke up to this:
Jarvis Cocker and Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) covering The Cars Just What I Needed. OMFG! Good cover too.
I love when people I love hang out together and do awesome things.
Anyway, here are some super interesting facts:
- Jarvis and Julian are probably my favourite people with the initials J.C.
- I have seen both of their bands at Festival Hall.
- Both bands didn’t play songs I desperately wanted to hear! 12:51 and Razzmatazz.
- Pretty sure Julian Casablancas spoke to the crowd during that one song more than he did in the entire show in Melbourne, Jarvis must be a positive influence!
Anyway, getting sad that the Pulp concerts are coming to an end. Fingers crossed for something else (I need excuses to blog about them!). Also Ginger Pulp is still looking fine.
