Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker is a British musician, broadcaster, and author best known as the frontman of the band Pulp, whose 1995 album Different Class made him one of the defining figures of Britpop. Born in Sheffield in 1963, he has also presented radio shows for BBC Radio 6 Music. Good Pop, Bad Pop is his memoir told through objects — going through boxes of possessions accumulated over a lifetime and using each item as a springboard for memory, reflection, and storytelling. The book was a Sunday Times bestseller and was praised for its witty, original structure and its warmth. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers a brilliantly inventive memoir — Jarvis Cocker's life told through the things he kept, the things he threw away, and the stories they unlock.
