JARVIS COCKER Good Pop, Bad Pop (2022 UK 368-page
Hardback Book - We all have a random collection of the things
that made us - photos, tickets, clothes, souvenirs, stuffed in a
box, packed in a suitcase, crammed into a drawer. When Jarvis
Cocker starts clearing out his loft, he finds a jumble of objects
that catalogue his story and ask him some awkward questions:
"Who do you think you are?", "Are clothes important?" and
"Why are there so many pairs of broken glasses up here?"..
From a Gold Star polycotton shirt to a pack of Wrigley's Extra,
from his teenage attempts to write songs to the Sexy Laughs
Fantastic Dirty Joke Book, this is the hard evidence of Jarvis's
unique life, Pulp, 20th century pop culture, the good times and
the mistakes he'd rather forget. And this accumulated debris of a
lifetime reveals his creative process - writing and musicianship,
performance and ambition, style and stagecraft. This is not a life
story. It's a loft story. Complete with the die-cut outer dust
cover jacket, the book remains in 'as new' condition!)
