Descrição do livro

You know the feeling. The opening keyboard line of Common People. The moment Fix You — wait, wrong band. The moment Disco 2000 kicks in and you're somewhere you'd forgotten you'd been. Pulp wrote songs that stayed. The question is why.

Richard Bell's PULP: 25 Songs. 25 Stories. answers that question — one song at a time, across the full forty-year arc of one of British pop's most unlikely careers. From the first scratchy folk of My Lighthouse to the defiant stadium chorus of Common People, from the paranoid grandeur of This Is Hardcore to the grief-tinged comeback of More (2025) — each chapter takes a single track apart and shows you what's inside.

This isn't a biography. It's better than that.

What you'll find inside:

  • Why Common People isn't the best Pulp song — and which one is
  • The night a broken tape machine and a Welsh courtyard produced one of the decade's defining singles
  • Sorted for E's & Wizz: the tabloid front page, the MP in the Commons, and why the band won anyway
  • Babies, Razzmatazz, Lipgloss — the three-year build that made Different Class feel inevitable
  • How This Is Hardcore ended Britpop from the inside, quietly and without apology
  • Scott Walker, a Walthamstow studio, and the strange late beauty of The Trees and Something Changed
  • Steve Mackey's death — and how More became a record made in loss that sounds like relief

Written with the precision of music criticism and the pace of a long, absorbing essay, this book rewards both the devoted fan and the curious newcomer. If you've ever stood in a crowd singing words you didn't know you'd memorised, this book explains how they got there.

Part of the 25 Songs. 25 Stories. series.
