Pulp: This is Hardcore

As I said when discussing Blue Jeans by Blur, "I understood BritPop: good tunes, guitars and harmonies." That is hardly surprising in a child of the 1960s, and you can add cheeky cockneys of varying authenticity and overrated bands from the North West to the mix.

Still, I think the great song the era produced may have been Pulp's dissipated farewell to it. Here the band plays live for Jools Holland.
