Good Pop, Bad Pop: The Sunday Times bestselling hit from Jarvis Cocker

Product Information

Speaking of fashion, Jarvis also recounts the time some German family members sent him lederhosen as a gift. "I looked like an Alpine goatherd. But my mum thought it would be fine to go to school looking like this." As you can imagine, much schoolyard ribbing ensued. This was exacerbated when two zips were spotted on the front of the garment. Soon Jarvis was not only known as 'four eyes' but also 'two...' [something too rude to write here]. "I've only had one fist fight in my entire life"

Extremely funny and almost over-stuffed with insights about the state of pop and the nature of creativity. Daily Telegraph, *Books of the Year* I listened to Jarvis narrate the audiobook complete with PDF containing photos of all the items. I loved every second. This is the way Jarvis tells chunks of his life story. It's ridiculously entertaining and enjoyable.What is in part a trip down the memory lane of another is also the much needed gutting of a loft owned by a procrastinating musician. At the same time, he was formulating what he called The Pulp Master Plan. A school exercise book (keep) contains the blueprint for the band he wanted to form. They would wear Oxfam blazers and “rancid ties”, the music would be “fairly conventional but slightly off-beat pop songs”, and they would “[learn] about the world by looking at what it threw away. By what it deemed ‘worthless’”. The exhibition Good Pop Bad Pop at Gallery of Everything– The Exhibition will be open from Friday 13th of May with late opening until 9pm as part of London Gallery Weekend West End Night. Exhibition continues to 29th May 2022 Categories Jarvis and I have worked together several times. He is one of the greats and a lover of all unusual For cost savings, you can change your plan at any time online in the “Settings & Account” section.

To be fair the rubbish and er treasure he hauls out of his attic are obviously used as jumping off points, and I admit I was a little sceptical at first, but I was soon won over, not least by the chapter on Cussons Imperial Leather, which was near flawless. (I had no idea that they had changed the logo).Visitors are also invited to rifle through a carefully selected assembly of artworks, objects and bric-a-brac for sale, curated by the gallery in response to the artist’s own hoarding. Also for sale are prints of sketches and drawings editioned by Jarvis, a set of modern colour prints of original photographs by Hugh Hoyland, and a poster of Jarvis’ Periodic Table of Influences. Blue Badge holders and those with access requirements can be dropped off on the Queen Elizabeth Hall Slip Road off Belvedere Road (the road between the Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery). Upstairs spaces evidence the many mementos which have produced Jarvis’ remarkable worldview, alongside an oversized Periodic Table of Influence illustrating their relationship and relevance. Items include the original exercise book in which a teenage Jarvis wrote The Pulp Master Plan – an illustrated manifesto of how the group were going to (and did) achieve world domination. Hugh Hoyland Jarvis with Dalek (Xmas 1965) this book was awesome. I'm not a huge Pulp fan and could only name two albums but it doesn't matter cos the book was talking just about his childhood and early attempts at *being in a band*. there is a lots of photos of the first couple incarnations of Pulp and early posters as well so it has lots of value for people who are big fans. it's written conversationally and casually, and each item he pulls out is actually genuinely interesting (as someone who accumulates random old things as well it was great) it was easy to read and light hearted even in the more serious bits and interesting and definitely worth it for anyone who's even mildly interested.
