Good Pop, Bad Pop, the revealing, surprising and highly original memoir from iconic Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker is coming to a bookshop near you on 26 May.
In Good Pop, Bad Pop, Jarvis Cocker asks the question: what if the things we keep hidden say more about us than those we put on display?
We all have a random collection of things that made us – photos, tickets, clothes, souvenirs, stuffed in a box, packed in a suitcase, crammed into a drawer. When Jarvis starts clearing out his loft, he finds a jumble of objects that tell his story.
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. 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.
To celebrate the publication of Good Pop, Bad Pop, we're offering one lucky fan the chance to win a unique prize including: a pair of tickets to your choice of Jarvis' Penguin Live tour dates, a signed art print of the book cover, a limited edition signed hardback copy of Good Pop, Bad Pop and items donated by Jarvis himself from his loft, including a vintage beer mat and some musical-themed iron-on transfers!
To be in with a chance of winning, please send proof of purchase to goodpopbadpop@penguinrandomhouse.co.uk. Competition closes on Sunday 22 May 2022 at 23.59pm GMT. UK only.
