Pulp Return to America
Pulp, the Britpop torch-bearers fronted by the charismatic Jarvis Cocker, kicked off their return to the U.S. with a two-night stand at Radio City Music Hall this past Tuesday and Wednesday.
The crowd was ecstatic and, thankfully, liberal with their updates throughout the shows…

Opening of Pulp concert reminds me of my undergrad senior thesis piece.

Pulp starting with “Do You Remember the First Time?” and I squealed like a 14-year-old. #pulp

At the Pulp show, where to be ‘that guy’ you have to wear 90’s Britpop hair and brainy specs.#pulp #thatguy #iamnotthatguy

Jarvis Cocker is Aldous Snow incarnate #pulp

It’s a rare tweet when the live performance is even better than the studio recordings. #PULP

Jarvis is throwing candy into the crowd. Dude’s got a decent arm on him. #pulp

cheers for the great gatsby. most intellectual rock show ever. “if you’re one of the pursued or the pursuing, this one’s for you.” #pulp

Always forget how actually sweet and poignant “Something Changed” is. Awww. #pulp

There are choreographed dancers during “F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E.” and that is an annoying song title to tweet. #pulp

Jarvis hip-sways into the balcony on some song that reminds me that I was born in the ’60s. #Pulp twitter.com/JustLiana/stat…

I think I’m going to throw my underwear at Jarvis during ‘This is hardcore.’ @ pulp at radio city

Forgot how many Pulp songs are unambiguously about making sex. Jarvis Cocker is basically Austin Powers, BUT FOR REAL #pulp #thisishardcore
— Joe Berkowitz (@JoeBerkowitz) April 11, 2012
OH at Pulp re: Jarvis: “It’s as if Mick Jagger and Austin Powers had a baby.”
— MacKenzie Fegan (@mackenzief) April 11, 2012
Setlist has leaned very heavily on Different Class so far, with a few older songs and “This is Hardcore” thrown in. #pulp
— Amy Plitt (@plitter) April 11, 2012
Apparently, ‘Venture Bros.’ got a shout-out during Pulp’s NYC show tonight, which somehow makes missing that performance feel even worse.

Pulp just finished the set with Common People. Bucket list item crossed off. #sogood ENCORE!

What exactly DO you do for an encore when you close on “Common People”? #rsfans

NIGHT TWO
Super excited to see Pulp at Radio City Music Hall which many New Yorkers don’t even realize is the largest indoor theatre in the world.
— Forest Mars (@forestmars) April 12, 2012
Radio City Music Hall seems rather high society for a #Pulp show. It’s not very “common people” is it?
— Bryan Lee (@billycadence) April 12, 2012
The spirit of the 90’s is alive at Radio City Music Hall! #Pulp

At Radio City about to see #pulp. All these geeky music fans are very attractive. #straightmenwithglassesandblazers

Just saw someone wheeling their grandma down the aisle at this show! Rock on grandma, but damn you for having a better seat. #Pulp

Someone’s small child is dancing frenetically on his seat like a happy elf to Pulp’s Something’s Changed. He wins.

Jarvis on maneuvers #pulp #rcmh twitter.com/Sally_acious/s…

“People call Louie Louie primitive because it’s just three chords. Well this next song only has two.” #Pulp #RadioCity #JarvisQuotes

“sometimes relationships don’t work out…that’s what songs are for” #Pulp @radiocity
