She said: "I got enough records to make an album, but I would never say a day or time that it would happen because those fans are brutal and they will stone me if I told a date and it didn’t drop on that date. I have learned my lesson from other artists go through that. The element of surprise works for me. It gets a little crazy out there and I don’t wanna get jumped by my fans, so I’m gonna keep it a secret. People don’t understand that things happen behind the scenes. It may be a sample clearance, or anything, so I’d rather just wait."

Underrated Classic: Pulp 'A Different Class'

Pulp was a band that took off in Europe during the Britpop era but never really made a mark on America. Unlike Blur, Oasis, The Verve, they didn't have any hits on this side of the pond. They were critical darlings. They had a devoted audience in the U.S. but unlike their colleagues of the British music scene from the 1990s, they didn't crack it on radio or on MTV. It is unclear why. They had all the elements of a great band -- from Jarvis Cocker's charisma and lyrics to the band's catchy songwriting, Pulp were a fantastic band. All of this culminates on their 1995 musical voyage, A Different Class. It was the fifth album from the band and has some of their most classic material like "Common People," "Disco 2000," and "Something Changed." Yet, the highest it charted in America was 34 on the "Heatseakers Chart," meaning, it was a list for "up and coming" artists. This was a band that was around since the 1980s but for American audiences, or the ones that appreciated them, they were brand new. While the band broke up by the end of the decade and then reunited in 2011, Pulp remain heroes to the British music scene. As we wait to see if they will ever get back again, here is a record worth cherishing forever.

Cocker, the former Pulp frontman lives in the city and debuted the spoken word song "November 13, 2015," on his BBC radio show. The song features the lyrics:"I was going to bed, when a friend rang and told me to turn on the TV. I was worried about my son. I rang the friends house, but his parents were not home yet. They'd gone to the theatre. I didn't want to panic them. I listened to the radio through the night. In the morning, I rang the friends house, and my son had left to catch the metro half an hour earlier. I was worried. He arrived home. We went to buy a new phone and some trainers, but all the shops were closed. I ended up buying a book about Kate Bush."

U2 are rescheduling two concerts they had in the area the weekend of the attacks. The concerts will be streamed on HBO. Bono said in a statement: "So much that was taken from Paris on the tragic night of November 13th is irreplaceable. For one night, the killers took lives, took music, took peace of mind - but they couldn’t steal the spirit of that city. It’s a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows on December 6th and 7th. We’re going to put on our best for Paris.”

To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away. To all who were affected by the atrocities in Paris, loved ones and friends, our hearts go out to you and your families. We will return and celebrate life and love with you once again someday with our music. As it should be done."

Jarvis Cocker said of the gig, ""It was a festival and we were the second band on in the afternoon. It was the first time we’d been on a proper stage, and when our bass player started experiencing feedback he didn’t know what to do, so he started walking towards the front of the stage and fell off it. People found us entertaining, but only because we were a bunch of mad kids who didn’t know how to play. We also made one of the best entrances of all time. There was a man across the yard with a mobile grocer’s van, and we used that to transport our equipment. We stunk of cabbage."

Noel Gallagher spoke to Noisy about that scrapped Amorphous Androgynous album that was supposed to arrive in 2011. He said, "The album got finished. We spent a lot of time working on it, but the way that they work is that they get me in and I play all day then they take it away. Then the next thing you hear, you go 'Well, that's not what I was thinking'. It became apparent that they weren't making a record for me but I was making a record for them. You know me, that's not going to fucking work. There's no bootleg because I own the master and I destroyed it. My manager's not even heard it. I wouldn't play it. It was so underwhelming to me that I never played it to anybody. I'm not going to put records out to please people and their imagination, then they hear it and go 'Actually, it's a bit shit'. I know it's shit that's why it's not coming out and that's the end of it."

"We said we we're done and we're done," those are the shocking words coming from former R.E.M. bassist Mike Mills after he was asked by Rolling Stone if the iconic band would reunite. R.E.M. surprisingly broke up in September 2011, and Mills told Rolling Stone recently, "There were no real factors other than deciding it was time to break up. There's no drug abuse. There's no in-fighting. There's no legal problems. It was time to break up. That's never really been done before. The idea of breaking up and not reforming for a reunion tour is kind of attractive to us. I doubt you'll see us touring as R.E.M. again. On the other hand, I just played with Peter [Buck] in New York City the other night, so fun things do happen."The band just reissued their seminal album Green.

Pulp on Jonathan Ross

It is hard to tell what Jarvis Cocker and Co. are going to do next with Pulp. While the band wrapped up their reunion tour in December, they just released their new single "After You," which is actually an old demo that LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy got a whole of and produced as a new track. Watch the acclaimed Britrock band perform "After You," on The Jonathan Ross show.

Underrated Classic - Pulp "This is Hardcore"

As Pulp may have played their final reunion gigs last month during the Coachella cruises, we look back at the Sheffield bands sixth record, This is Hardcore. Released in 1998, This is Hardcore, was the darkest, strangest, and deepest Pulp album ever made. The record, which took on everything from celebrity and fame to pornography and drugs and featured some of singer Jarvis Cocker's most personal and challenging lyrics to date. It was the era that Britpop was in full bloom and Blur and Oasis were at the height of their careers and The Verve released "Bittersweet Symphony," Pulp, who had gone strong since the 80's and one of the oldest Britpop bands, were being thrust into the international spotlight even more because of the second British invasion. With that in mind, This is Hardcore was nearly a band trying to shy away from everything to do with Britpop and still stand out on their own, unfortunately, the press would not allow it. While the album received mixed reviews on its initial release, in 2006, the band released a deluxe edition of This is Hardcore and reminded everyone, after the Britpop dust settled, this is a brilliant record. After the release of This is Hardcore, the band released We Love Life in 2001 and broke up soon afterword. When they reunited in 2011, many of the songs performed during their acclaimed reunion gigs came from This is Hardcore, a testament that years later, it still resonates with people and is a timeless, underrated classic.
