Flashback Thursday: Pulp "A Little Soul"

Myspace

Remember back when I used to do "Flashback Tuesday"? Well, this is me trying to bring it back. This time around, no history lessons...it will just be short and sweet with a video I've (almost) forgotten about.

Pulp was never a band that I was in love with, but I do have just about everything they've done. Their early career is underrated, Different Class is overrated, and This is Hardcore is their masterpiece. It's an album that is sublime and hits you when you least expect it, and "A Little Soul" is its emotional lynchpin, a genius tune that elevated Jarvis Cocker to the top of the heap. Unfortunately he has yet to match this.
