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. 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). Such a brilliant book! Not the usual memoir, essentially it’s Jarvis clearing out his loft, a storage space full of stuff he has hoarded over the years and he uses pictures of the various items to tell stories from his life from his childhood to his acceptance into art college (there has to be a sequel!). Some parts are just laugh out loud and there’s great photographs too. It all ends with Pulp still yet to achieve any kind of breakthrough so all the signs are that there will be another instalment before too long. It can’t happen soon enough.

Retailers:

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) Incredibly entertaining...a trip through the things that have made him who he is.

Extremely funny and almost over-stuffed with insights about the state of pop and the nature of creativity. Daily Telegraph, *Books of the Year* Items are left in our cloakrooms at the owner’s risk, and we cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage, from any cause, to these items. We're cash-free Poignant in a subtle, understated way; Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time for the age of the Ford Cortina... This book is about a very normal childhood and the everyday detritus it left behind. Common people indeed. Times 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" 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.Good Pop, Bad Pop – The Exhibition has been devised and designed by Jarvis in collaboration with James Brett, the founder and creative director of The Gallery of Everything. Good Pop, Bad Pop is published by Jonathan Cape on May 26th. This storage space became a launch pad for Jarvis to take a deep dive into his past, offering precious insights into his childhood, adolescence and young manhood, while celebrating relics of the popular culture that forged him into the lead singer of a band who would create the defining song of the mid-1990s, and lots of other modern classics. You can also use the external lift near the Artists' Entrance on Southbank Centre Square to reach Mandela Walk, Level 2. A drop-off point at the Royal Festival Hall (30 metres) has been created for visitors who are unable to walk from alternative car parks. Our Access Scheme 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.

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.

Good Pop, Bad Pop is that autobiography and in typical Jarvis fashion he takes a different approach. 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.Opening today, Friday 13th May, in conjunction with London Gallery Weekend, The Gallery of Everything opens Good Pop Bad Pop – The Exhibition. 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. Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial? Well if Murakami can get away with a book about his T-Shirts I suppose Jarvis thought he could chance his arm on one about the crap found in his old attic, in a house that he hasn’t lived in for many years too.
