Bigger than Barry

Another instalment of Birmingham's favourite fat ass, Barry was back and this time in school uniform.

Bobby playing early and drawing some serious riddim, "Lips to da floor" had me skanking sideways. An absolutely heaving night as usual, enormous selection from Rattus Rattus who seemed to play for an eternity! Taharka and Obvious drew for something different with a live PA.

Shouts to the Barry boy's, Size crew, Veezey and Klose One.

In summary Barry was Super-heavy-weight.

For the pictures all the Birmingham heads have been waiting for....

Tim Walker -Design Museum

My little brother told me about the Tim Walker exhibition happening at the Design Museum, so yesterday we made arrangements to check it out. I know of Tim's work through his fashion photography, a lot of his pictures are featured in Vogue and each one uses a very dramatic style for its settings. Tim's known for the way he takes the viewer to a world of make believe where stunning locations and over size props are popular among his photographs.



At the exhibition there were over 100 photographs spanning his entire career. Also on display was his sketchbook giving an insight to the way he develops an initial idea into a final fashion feature.



Below are some of my favourite images from the exhibition...

















Worst part of the trip was the entry fee...



...BUT I most definitely recommend it. The Design Cities exhibition downstairs has a lot to offer also.

Friday Evening

Magnetic, Rooties and Fixed were all hit. Fixed being the busiest and best, 1xtra's Bailey smashing the place up with the set of the night for me and many others dropping some damn right disgusting music! Silly skanking was definitely the outcome.

Snaps:

The real sign of a financial crisis or a recession taking place within a country is when you get a birthday present like this.
