Pulp: The Beat is the Law – A film about the band Pulp's rise to mid-90's Britpop glory out of Margaret Thatcher's turbulent 80's

Video DJ Set on Twitter this Wednesday 8.00pm GMT

This Wednesday we’re teaming up with social music mixtapers Playlist Club for a live Video DJ set on Twitter. Offering a phantasmagoric setlist that drops classic Pulp vids and key influences before delving into the darkest recesses of a popstar’s psyche – plus the premiere of a previously unreleased Pulp studio recording – this is a chance to experience all the fun and disappointment of a night down the Roxy without leaving the warm glow of your laptop monitor. We’re encouraging interaction, so if you want to make a request, announce the breakup of your relationship or attempt a virtual rush of the DJ booth go ahead.  We’re also offering ‘best dressed’ prizes so now would be a good time to dig out that photo with the tweed-effect safari suit and jelly sandals.

‘Playlist vs Fanfare for the Common People’ starts at 8pm GMT on Wednesday 4^th May.  If you want to join in you can watch and interact at our #playlistvsfanfare Twitter wall at Tweetwall but you might also want to follow @Playlist_Club, who’ll be spinning the wheels of steel – as well as @Beatisthelaw if you’re not doing so already.

We’ll be dropping our own themed aftershow setlist – ‘Horror show at a Stagnant Water Bed’ from 10.00pm or thereabouts.  We’re offering a prize for the best stab at guessing the tunes we’ll be playing (montage below).  Email us listing your guesses from 1-15 (running in rows from left to right) before 8.00pm GMT Wednesday if you want to be in with a shout.
