In The Crush

Reports are coming over the wires that at least 125 people have been killed in a stampede at a Hindu temple in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan. A wall near the temple is said to have collapsed, causing panic among thousands of gathered devotees. This is a tragedy and I assure you I am […]

Pavement Rage

No, I am not angry that the brilliant US band Pavement are no more, this is to do with the causeway. According to a new study carried out by Nurofen Express commuters spend almost three and a half days a year waiting behind slow moving pedestrians. Around 52 per cent of the British workforce are […]

Exhibition

I am making an exhibition of myself.
That’s right. My portrait will be plastered all over the walls of a trendy central London café bar. The First Out Cafe Bar on Giles High Street (WC2) is exhibiting a collection of images by Northern Stars, the collaboration between photographer Nadia Attura and stylist Laura Steel (Mercury).
On show […]

Rotten ‘n’ Hell

Pop Punk Facts No. 14
Richard Hell Invents the Punk Fashion Look
Richard Hell was the originator of the punk fashion look. Johnny Rotten/Lydon incorporated the style and look of the American art-punker under the guidance of punk svengali Malcolm McLaren. McLaren had been in the States managing the New York Dolls when he met the Voidoid. […]

While Nelson Was Here

Hey baby, at last I have recorded my first musical podcast series. My visit to the Davy Lawrence studio saw me put the finishing touches to my acoustic album ‘Half Nelson’. This glorious aural treat is soon to be released on Big Arena Records and will be available on the website. The podcasts are to […]

Beary Barrington

Let me explain.
I was hijacked. Barry Barrington took advantage of me whilst I was trapped under a landslide of work and rubble. He infiltrated my website. I apologise if he upset anybody, he usually does because that is his main skill. He is a drunk and a disgrace and an embarrassment.
I met Barry a couple […]

Barry’s Bits #2

Hi folks. Baz Barry Baritard Barrington here again, everybody’s favourite brown bear impersonator. Nelson is still trying to catch up. It’s his own fault for taking a couple of days off work. What a silly sausage.
My fishing trip down the Regent’s Canal with the one and only Dr Keith Moon ended in a splash and […]

Barry’s Bits

Hi,
Barry Barrington here, the Alaskan salmon fishing, tree dwelling brown bear. I’m just here to make a guest appearance and let you know that Nelson is very busy. I can see him in the corner, typing manically with sweat pouring out of his head and underarms. Oh dear, he is scowling at me now, he […]

Bear With Me

There’s a bear with me. Really, a big brown beast of a thing and it is trying to catch scudding salmon in its mouth whilst standing in a roaring river in Alaska. Seeing the massive sharp grasping claws I remember that the bear’s name is Barry . . . Barry Barrington to be exact. He […]

Driller Killer

Arrrggghhhh!!!!

Arrarrgghhhghhhhhh!!!gh!!!   ug
I have not slept for the last two nights. I feel sick and have started hallucinating. My temper is now so short that if anyone so much as smells me I’ll have ‘em. Oh boy, pumped up on caffeine and sugar I think my eyes are about to pop out of their sockets. Boy […]
