07/03/2002

Taken from the Sheffield band's acclaimed album 'We Love Life', the single features exclusive bonus tracks - cover versions of two of Pulp's biggest hit singles, one by Nick Cave and the other by Fabian Antonio & Roisin Murphy (of Moloko). Nick Cave contributes a 'crooner' version of 'Disco 2000', whilst Fabian & Roisin get suitably pumped with their house take on 'Sorted For Es & Wizz'.

The CD comes in two formats. CD1 features 'Bad Cover Version' and two new Pulp songs 'Yesterday' and 'Forever In My Dreams'. CD2 comprises the Video Version of the A-side (see below for details!), plus the the Nick Cave and Roisin tracks. The promo clip that accompanies 'BAD COVER VERSION' is directed by Jarvis Cocker (Jarvis has previously directed videos for The Aphex Twin and made the 'Outsider Art' series for Channel 4), and is a rather astonishing pastiche of the Band Aid - 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' video. In the PULP video, bad lookalikes of artists such as George Michael, Elton John, Missy Elliott, Bono, Tom Jones and many others sing along to the Pulp track in Sarm West, the same studio in which the Band Aid clip was filmed. Jarvis Cocker himself makes a cameo in the video as Queen's Brian May (other band members can also be spotted by the discerning viewer), whilst a bad lookalike of Jarvis also makes a noteworthy appearance.

In further PULP news, guitarist Mark Webber has amassed a star chamber of DJs to take part in an expanded cinema extravaganza at The Scala, King's Cross on 21st March entitled 'Andy Warhol's Silver Factory'. Several classic Warhol films (including his 1966 magnum opus 'Chelsea Girls') will be screened, whilst luminaries such as man-of-the-moment David Holmes, Bob Stanley/Pete Wiggs (Saint Etienne) and Richard Coles (BBC Radio 3) will DJ alongside Mark Webber, playing period pop, soul and opera whilst Edwin Pouncey (Savage Pencil) rocks the NY avant-garde. Live performances and interventions are also planned for the night.

Contrary to widespread rumour, PULP will NOT be appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival. If fans wish to see the band live, they are strongly advised to purchase tickets for PULP's 'forest tour' in June.
