Shipments to the USA & Canada: 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. Opening today, Friday 13th May, in conjunction with London Gallery Weekend, The Gallery of Everything opens Good Pop Bad Pop – The Exhibition. Taking us through the contents of his attic, the Pulp frontman shows there was always more to him than ironic posturing.

Prachtig vormgegeven boek, moet een feest zijn geweest om te maken/schrijven. Net zoals zijn liedjes schrijft Jarvis ook in boekvorm zeer bijdehand en scherp over het dagdagelijkse. Sheffield lijkt mij ondertussen de meest triestige Engelse plek, door het lezen van dit boek. Vrij herkenbaar voor mij om te lezen over een persoon die te veel emotionele waarde steekt in nutteloze objecten. Good Pop, Bad Pop is that autobiography and in typical Jarvis fashion he takes a different approach. 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) Starting Pulp was a way too of alchemically transforming everyday existence into a more fantastic version. Several times in our conversation he touches on his persistent desire to live inside the TV, a zone of adventure populated by dinosaurs, Daleks and the Monkees. “I realise that image doesn’t work so much now because TVs are just flat screens. But when they were boxes you kind of thought – what’s in it? You could almost imagine fitting inside it.”very cool. very arty. lots of colour photos! very well designed book. there's a lot of books written by musicians at the moment that have excellent graphic design and photos and I love it. the design is actually more like a magazine than a book - lots of colour and overlapping photos and important titles in bigger fancier fonts and brighter colours. He strikes a perfect balance: he’s funny and self-deprecating, but he also takes his creative process seriously. I was so charmed by his life-long enthusiasm for pop culture; if only we could all hold on to that earnestness amid the exhausting grind of adulthood. This is quite an unusual vision of creative success for a teenage boy, I suggest. “I wasn’t just saying I wanted a yacht and loads of money. I was saying: ‘Yes, we’re going to change the structure of society.’” He laughs ruefully. “Nice idea.” He’d always aimed high. As a child, his career goal was astronaut, superseded post-puberty by pop star. For a shy, lanky kid with glasses and bad teeth, forming a band was a way of being in a gang. “And I really wanted to have friends.” What started as a furious nighttime read beginning got swiftly ruined by a consecutive run of painfully early work shifts and a week full of birthday dinners and drinks. 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’”.
