Pulp Will Never Reunite, Says Jarvis
"Contrary sod" Cocker is wary of nostalgia...
Jarvis Cocker has revealed that he's unlikely to get the old Pulp line-up together, claiming that he's a "contrary sod".
"We live in an age where repetition and nostalgia are lifestyle choices," he told Q magazine recently. "I'm prone to it too, I go on YouTube and find things I haven't seen since I was a kid. But I'm a contrary sod so if someone wants me to reform a band I tend not to."
However, while it seems like we won't be seeing show-stopping versions of 'Common People' and 'Disco 2000' at festivals any time soon, the Yorkshireman isn't averse to watching other people relive the past: "I will go and see Blur at Hyde Park because I'm genuinely interested to see what they sound like."
