This week we discuss Jarvis Cocker’s Pulp. If Austin Powers became a real life person and started playing in a Britpop band, that band would probably be Pulp. They started out as an unpredictable acid house/disco/new wave hybrid, then evolved into a high energy pop band throughout the 90s. There’s a lot of fighting between Alex and Mike on this one—way more than they were expecting. Whose side do you take?
Closing track: “Underwear” from Different Class (1995)
