Remembering Syd Barrett

On this day 9 years ago, we lost one of Pink Floyd‘s founding members, Syd Barrett. The lead singer in the group’s early years, his time didn’t last long after his experimentation with drugs caused erratic behaviour – reported as either strumming one chord for a whole gig, or not even at all. The crowd loved it, not realising what exactly was going on or the remainder of the band’s concerns. Eventually, his place was taken up by David Gilmour, who was replacing Barrett previously during tours whenever Syd didn’t... Read More

Iconic moments from the world of television and cinema that should be immortalised on T-shirts:

First up, we’re taking a trip in the wayback machine and reliving a moment of comic genius from one of the most masterful comic actors of all time, Jackie Gleason, starring in ‘The Honeymooners’; what still stands as one of the sharpest sit-coms of all time. Ralph Kramden (Gleason) finally gets his moment to shine on the popular game show ‘The $99, 000 Dollar Answer, confidently promising his wife, Alice (played by the brilliant Audrey Meadows), that he’d bring him the grand prize. After preparing fanatically for his chosen category,... Read More

Love Still Tears Us Apart: 35 Years On…

On this day 35 years ago, we sadly lost a great talent in Ian Curtis, lead singer of Joy Division. He was only 23 at the time. To begin with, they were going to be called Warsaw, but this conflicted with a group that already existed called Warsaw Pakt – so they became Joy Division. “Warsaw” eventually became the name of one of their singles as well as the 4th compilation album for the group, which in itself was actually meant to be the debut album until the group decided...
