In store now! Good Pop, Bad Pop by Jarvis Cocker

Written with his trademark wit and intelligence, Jarvis Cocker reveals a collection of objects which he found in his loft that catalogue the story of his life. These objects range from a gold star polycotton shirt to his early attempts to write songs and all together they make him ask some questions about his life and himself. Filled with the self-same social awareness as his game changing single ‘Common People,’ Good Pop, Bad Pop doubles down on Cocker’s irreverence and barbed criticisms of the class structure we find ourselves embroiled in. Hilarious and insightful, this is a memoir with a twist from one of pop’s most challenging and inventive voices.

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Though things are opening up, covid cases are still high and a lot of our staff have only received one jab. So we are asking customers to continue to leave that extra space, sanitise their hands and pull on their mask. We really appreciate it.
