Good Pop, Bad Pop
by Jarvis Cocker
Here's one for all the Mis-Shapes - a tour through Jarvis Cocker's childhood and early adult years in Sheffield told via the ephemera found in his loft in memoir Good Pop Bad Pop.
This seemed a little gimmicky at first but soon resolved into the perfect format for a man famous for making lyrical gold from the seedy debris of working class life. As always Cocker is charming in his reflections on his naive younger self, early Pulp incarnations, and life on the dole in Thatcher's Sheffield.
I loved the book's wry tone and gorgeous design full of early influences on Pulp's iconic aesthetics, and was only disappointed that it ended before the classic early 90s Pulp era - perhaps there'll be a sequel? If Brett got two memoirs, surely Jarvis can too!
