About the episode

So you wanna live like the Common People do? It’s time for Part 2 of the Pulp story, in which Yasi and music journalist and Pulpologist Siân Pattenden start back up at the peak of Brit pop, tracing how “the great interlopers” of the genre captured the spirit and sound of the time with Different Class and then soundtracked the comedown with This Is Hardcore—Brit pop’s bleary-eyed hangover (or maybe—a conversation with God?). Then it’s into the “Weeds”: a retreat from fame into nature, the album We Love Life, and the band’s 2000s revival and first new song in over a decade.

Listen to the songs we talk about HERE.
