Blue Badge parking at APCOA Cornwall Road I have written a book called Good Pop, Bad Pop, which is based around the objects I found in the loft of a house I used to live in. Objects I collected over the course of a lifetime & then left to gather dust in the dark. Why? Am I a hoarder? Or did I think I was laying things away “for a rainy day”? 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

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.

Good pop, he says, takes its cues from the ordinary and spins it into something magical. He won’t explain a note of anything he wrote. But in this sweet little inventory, he provides the raw material for his own pop life. In the book he describes trying to provide some kind of sex education for his own adolescent son, to the mortification of both parties. It worries him, the fact that sex and life have become so severed. “Because what you’re dealing with is you get those feelings, those instincts, at a certain age and they are strong feelings and you’ve got to deal with them in some way and if there are no clues except some kind of foul thing online where you start to think of people as objects, and why aren’t I getting my sex that I was promised – or whatever, I don’t know what those people think.” Extremely funny and almost over-stuffed with insights about the state of pop and the nature of creativity.

Damien Hirst’s Diamond Skull on show in the artist’s first major German survey exhibition. For the Love of God (2007), Damien Hirst’s celebrated platinum cast of a human skull covered by 8,601 diamonds will… 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. 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.You may change or cancel your subscription or trial at any time online.

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. So there’s bad pop and good pop, hunger of all kinds and art as a consistent source of nourishment and pleasure. Several times he mentions that he’s trying to get better at relationships, rather than zoning out in front of the TV and putting all his feelings in a song instead. Clearing out the attic is part of a concerted effort to get to grips with old stuff, on an emotional as well as physical level: to change bad habits, to communicate more instead of escaping into fantasy. “Me ringing you this morning about the dog situation, that was a slight breakthrough,” he announces, surprisingly, “because a few years ago I would have just worried about it. The journey would have been an absolute nightmare. So then ringing, even though I wasn’t pleased about being late, at least I knew I’d dealt with it.” Opening today, Friday 13th May, in conjunction with London Gallery Weekend, The Gallery of Everything opens Good Pop Bad Pop – The Exhibition. 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.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.

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.” Jarvis and I have worked together several times. He is one of the greats and a lover of all unusual Christian Bolt “On Human Beauty” at Impulse Gallery, Lucerne. “On Human Beauty” is Bolt’s most extensive exhibition to date, and takes over the 450sqm, high-ceilinged rooms of the gallery,… The exhibition Good Pop Bad Pop at Gallery of Everything– The Exhibition will be open from Friday 13th of May with late opening until 9pm as part of London Gallery Weekend West End Night. Exhibition continues to 29th May 2022 Categories 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’”.
