SINOPSE LONGA Sheffield, 1988, ‘The Day That Never Happened’. Depois de um concerto de despedida desastroso na sua terra natal, os Pulp mudam-se para Londres em busca de sucesso. Encontram o seu caminho da fama mundial nos anos 90, com hinos como “Common People”, “Disco 2000” e “Babies”. Em 2012 voltam a Sheffield para darem o último concerto na Grã-Bretanha: o que poderia correr mal? Com uma atuação única nas suas carreiras para este filme, a banda partilha as suas ideias sobre a fama, o amor, a mortalidade e... a manutenção de um carro. O realizador Florian Habicht tece os testemunhos pessoais da banda com um quadro de sonho onde entram residentes de Sheffield recrutados na rua. Desvendando a profunda admiração que os habitantes de Sheffield têm pelos Pulp e qual foi o papel da cidade na criação das músicas (particularmente naquelas que foram escritas pelo vocalista Jarvis Cocker). PULP: UM FILME SOBRE A VIDA, A MORTE E SUPERMERCADOS é um filme musicado sem igual – engraçado, comovente, inspirador e (ocasionalmente) desconcertante. DOSSIER DE IMPRENSA PULP SOBRE O REALIZADOR Florian Habicht nasceu em Berlim e emigrou acompanhado da sua família para a Nova Zelândia. Estudou realização na Elam School of Fine Arts em Auckland e na Binger Filmlab em Amsterdão. Florian é responsável por alguns dos mais originais e inovadores filmes na Nova Zelândia. A sua estreia de WOODENHEAD (2003) um musical inspirado em Grimm, tornou-se um êxito de culto na Nova Zelândia e foi distribuído nos E.U.A. Em 2012, quando o seu filme LOVE STORY passou no London Film Festival, Jarvis Cocker e os “Pulp” convidaram-no para fazer um documentário/concerto filme sobre a banda. Florian é filho do aclamado fotógrafo dos anos 60, Frank Habicht. SOBRE OS PULP A maioria das bandas atinge o estrelato repentinamente e desaparece, ou constrói uma base de fãs e lentamente chega ao topo. Os Pulp não seguiram nenhum destes caminhos. Nos primeiros 12 anos das suas carreiras, os Pulp passaram quase despercebidos, lançando uma mão cheia de álbuns e singles nos anos 80 que passaram praticamente despercebidos. Na viragem da década, a banda começou a ter fãs, desencadeando alguns eventos que fariam desta banda, uma das bandas britânicas mais populares dos anos 90. Até os Pulp se tornarem famosos já tinham passado por várias reencarnações e mudanças de estilo, percorrendo todo o Indie rock, desde o punk à eletrónica. O estilo característico dos Pulp será uma fusão entre Davie Bowie e os estilos glam rock, disco, new wave, acid house, Europop e indie rock britânico. Os sintetizadores baratos e as vastas melodias da banda refletem a obsessão pela “letra” do vocalista Jarvis Cocker, que alternava entre sexo e retratos engraçados e realistas dos problemas da classe trabalhadora. Depois do pop “em segunda mão”, os Pulp criaram um som distinto e elegante que se tornou em algo grandioso e glamoroso que reteve um sentido palpável da dura realidade. Jarvis Cocker formou os Pulp em 1978, quando tinha apenas 15 anos. Primeiramente chamada Arabicus Pulp, a banda era composta por colegas de Cocker. Passado um ano, o nome da banda viria a ser encurtado para apenas Pulp. Enquanto andavam na escola, os Pulp fizeram algumas atuações. A banda gravou uma demo algures em 1980-1981, e entregaram a gravação a John Peel num dos seus concertos. Peel gostou da gravação e convidou-os para participarem no seu espetáculo. Os Pulp deram o seu primeiro concerto no espetáculo de Peel em Novembro de 1981. Em vez de contratos de sucesso e estrelato pop, a participação dos Pulp no espetáculo de Peel não os levou a lado nenhum. Desencorajados pela falta de sucesso, todos os membros da banda foram para a universidade à exceção de Cocker. No ano seguinte,Cocker reuniu oito novos músicos, que incluiam o teclista Simon Hickler, que mais tarde se juntou aos The Mission. Nesta DOSSIER DE IMPRENSA PULP SOBRE OS PULP | CONTINUAÇÃO nova configuração, os Pulp ganharam conotações bastante positivas e encontraram uma nova onda. A banda assinou o seu primeiro contrato discográfico, lançando o álbum de estreia, “It” em 1984. Não teve um grande impacto e a banda separou-se novamente. Depois da sua reencarnação dos Pulp ter acabado, Jarvis Cocker formou outra versão da banda, com o guitarrista e violinista Russel Senior, que veio a tornar-se um fiel colaborador de Cocker. Cocker e Senior chamaram o baterista Magnus Doyle e o baixista Peter Mansell para integrarem a banda, bem como Tim Allcard, que nada fez para além de ler poesia. Musicalmente, os Pulp afastaram-se da tendência floky presente no album “It”, acrescentando à banda a teclista Candida Doyle em 1985, o que levou a um estilo mais sombrio; pouco depois da chegada de Candida, sai da banda Allcard. Em 1985, os Pulp lançaram uma série de singles na Fire Records. E quando as suas fortunas estavam a aumentar, Cocker lesionou-se. Enquanto tentava impressionar uma rapariga, caiu de uma janela de 9 metros de altura, lesionando a pélvis, um pé e um pulso. Durante dois meses, ficou confinado a uma cadeira de rodas, mas mesmo assim, atuou em concertos. Lançado em 1986, o segundo álbum dos Pulp, “Freaks”, tinha um som denso e sombrio. Após o seu lançamento, a banda separou-se durante as gravações do videoclipe de “They Suffocate at Night”. Todos os membros, exceto Cocker e Senior, abandonaram a banda. Durante um ano, a banda permaneceu inativa, mas Candida Soyle regressou em 1987, juntamente com o baterista Nick Banks e o baixista Steven Havenhand, que se juntaram à banda pouco tempo depois. Havenhand foi substituído por Anthony Genn, que viria a ser substituído por Steve Mackey. Apesar da banda ter uma composição estável, não estava a ganhar muitos seguidores. Em 1988, Cocker mudou-se para Londres com Mackey e começou a estudar realização no St. Martin’s College. Enquanto Cocker estudava, foi dada a nova oportunidade aos “Pulp” de gravar um novo álbum. O álbum “Separations” foi gravado em 1989 e refletia sobre a nova obsessão de Cocker por acid-house, mas também impulsionou a criação de músicas pop. “Separations” foi lançado cerca de 3 anos após ter sido completado. Cocker estava preparado para iniciar uma carreira no cinema, quando uma das faixas do álbum, “My Legendary Girlfriend” foi lançada. A revista NME considerou a música o single da semana em 1991 e a carreira dos Pulp, de repente, disparou. No início de 1992, os Pulp abandonaram a editora Fire Records pela Gift, e gravaram variados singles que consolidaram o sucesso de “My Legendary Girlfriend”. Em particular, “Babies” trouxe muita atenção para a banda. “Babies” deu origem a um contrato com a Island Records, o primeiro contrato com uma grande discográfica. A empresa lançou a “Pulp Intro”, uma compilação de singles do álbum “Gift”, enquanto a banda gravava o álbum de estreia na discográfica, “His ‘n’ Hers”. Este ganhou críticas positivas e tornou-se num sucesso inesperado, alcançando o top 10 britânico. Também foi nomeado para um prémio Mercury em 1994. Durante 1994 e início de 1995, Jarvis Cocker tornou-se omnipresente na televisão britânica. Estas aparições humorísticas na televisão, fizeram de Cocker um herói nacional e um sex symbol. Não interessava o quão famoso se tornara Jarvis Cocker, a banda apenas teve bastante sucesso quando lançaram “Common People”. O single tornou-se um grande êxito em Maio de 1995, chegando ao segundo lugar na tabela britânica. Em Julho, os Pulp aceitaram dar um espetáculo à ultima da hora no festival de Glastonbury quando a banda DOSSIER DE IMPRENSA PULP SOBRE OS PULP | CONTINUAÇÃO The Stone Roses cancelou a sua presença. A banda foi recebida com entusiasmo, sendo assim lançada para o estrelato em Inglaterra e convenientemente preparando a chegada do quarto álbum: “Different Class”. Durante a gravação do álbum, o guitarrista Mark Webber – o presidente do clube de fãs dos Pulp – entrou para a banda como guitarrista a tempo inteiro. As primeiras músicas a serem gravadas com Webber foram “Mis-Shapes” e “Sorted for E’s & Wizz”, que foram lançadas em Agosto, dois meses antes de “Different Class”. Este foi o segundo single de mais sucesso, apesar das grandes controvérsias criadas pelos tabloides acerca da letra de “Sorted”. “Different Class” foi lançada no final de Outubro e recebeu diversas críticas positivas por parte dos media britânicos. O álbum entrou nas tabelas em número um, alcançando o ouro na primeira semana e a platina na semana seguinte. No final do ano, o álbum integrava diversas listas de melhor do ano. Em fevereiro de 1996, “Different Class” foi lançado nos Estados Unidos da América com críticas muito positivas. A fama e atenção que “Different Class” trouxe para os Pulp influenciou o caminho que tomou o seu sucessor, em 1998, o farto da vida e paranóico “This is Hardcore”. O som complexo deste álbum e o misto de emoções e opiniões que gerou, deu origem a especulação sobre o fim da banda; os membros da banda tiraram algum tempo para perseguirem projetos paralelos, tais como ser disco jóquei em vários clubes noturnos ou fazer arranjos para artistas como os “Black Box Recorder” e “Death in Vegas”.

  • 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Glasgow School of Art: RADAR 'I Spy': Mike Leigh in the Age of Britpop (A Critical Memoir) David Sweeney During the Britpop era of the 1990s, the name of Mike Leigh was invoked regularly both by musicians and the journalists who wrote about them. To compare a band or a record to Mike Leigh was to use a form of cultural shorthand that established a shared aesthetic between musician and filmmaker. Often this aesthetic similarity went undiscussed beyond a vague acknowledgement that both parties were interested in 'real life' rather than the escapist fantasies usually associated with popular entertainment. This focus on 'real life' involved exposing the ugly truth of British existence concealed behind drawing room curtains and beneath prim good manners, its 'secrets and lies' as Leigh would later title one of his films. I know this because I was there. Here's how I remember it all: Jarvis Cocker and Abigail's Party To achieve this exposure, both Leigh and the Britpop bands he influenced used a form of 'real world' observation that some critics found intrusive to the extent of voyeurism, particularly when their gaze was directed, as it so often was, at the working class. Jarvis Cocker, lead singer and lyricist of the band Pulp -exemplars, along with Suede and Blur, of Leigh-esque Britpop - described the band's biggest hit, and one of the definitive Britpop songs, 'Common People', as dealing with "a certain voyeurism on the part of the middle classes, a certain romanticism of working class culture and a desire to slum it a bit".

  • Nietzsche and Amor Fati
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Essex Research Repository 1 [DRAFT: THIS VERSION MAY DIFFER IN MINOR WAYS FROM THE PUBLISHED VERSION (FORTHCOMING IN THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY), IN WHICH CASE THE LATTER SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS AUTHORITATIVE] Nietzsche and Amor Fati Béatrice Han-Pile To the Memory of Mark Sacks Abstract: This paper identifies two central paradoxes threatening the notion of amor fati [love of fate]: it requires us to love a potentially repellent object (as fate entails significant negativity for us) and this, in the knowledge that our love will not modify our fate. Thus such love may seem impossible or pointless. I analyse the distinction between two different sorts of love (eros and agape) and the type of valuation they involve (in the first case, the object is loved because we value it; in the second, we value the object because we love it). I use this as a lens to interpret Nietzsche’s cryptic pronouncements on amor fati and show that while an erotic reading is, up to a point, plausible, an agapic interpretation is preferable both for its own sake and because it allows for a resolution of the paradoxes initially identified. In doing so, I clarify the relation of amor fati to the eternal return on the one hand, and to Nietzsche’s autobiographical remarks about suffering on the other. Finally, I examine a set of objections pertaining both to the sustainability and limits of amor fati, and to its status as an ideal. There is no doubt that Nietzsche considered the theme of amor fati [love of fate] of essential importance: he referred to it in his later work as his ‘formula for greatness in a human being’ (EH: 258), ‘the highest state a philosopher can attain’ (WP 1041), or again his ‘inmost nature’ (EH: 325).

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

  • Different Class Pulp Island; 1 995 Originally Published January 22, 2013 on Probably Just Hungry
    Different Class Pulp Island; 1 995 originally published January 22, 2013 on Probably Just Hungry Despite a love for fish and chips and a nostalgic fondness for my punk and goth phases, I don’t claim to know much more than a little about the way class systems work in the United Kingdom. What I do understand is that it’s something that pervades the culture there, maybe a bit like race does in the U.S. — a topic with a long and complex history, further complicated by the tumult of the post-Industrial age. I mean, that would make sense looking back at the way counter culture movements seemed to flourish there. Punk, as an example, is an original concoction of the grimy underbelly of New York City, but it never really took off until it hit British shores, where it went global and remains, to this day, a defining characteristic of that generation. Of course, in 1 995, when Pulp’s Different Class was released, I knew nothing of the above, much less who Pulp was. In fact, I wouldn’t even discover the band/album until almost 1 0 years later. Even then, well into high school, I wasn’t aware of any of the topical undercurrents on the album. (Well, aside from the smarmy swagger of Jarvis Cocker, which reach near-predatory levels here.) But now, much later, it clicks. With a name like Different Class, a track titled ”Common People” and lyrics like, ”Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits / raised on a diet of broken biscuits / We don’t look the same as you / We don’t do the things you do / but we live around here too,” there’s no question that this is an album about class.
