Fellow world leaders, I bring you great news: you and I have been lucky enough to be born into a generation which is lucky enough to finally hear the first radio-play for Ian Britt’s (that’s me… “Hello”) forthcoming album.....

You too can witness this great, great event.....

Technical part thus; take a seat… stick “sentric.wordpress.com” in your god dam browser… then scroll the hell on down to the Tom Robinson interview… then and only then can you get your filthy sexy ears around a whole 40 second snippet of “Me and My Friend Cupid” on BBC Radio 6.....

I ruddy wrote that. And I sung it. And I played the banjo on it!....

40 solicited seconds of wicked air time!....

BLAM!....

This is getting hotter than chucking a full box of cook’s matches into a spot of white hot heat and then shutting the windows and putting two of your dads Christmas jumpers on.....

A helicopter just passed by over head; it looked to me as though they were leaning out the side trying to take paparazzi-shots of the new star in town. ....

Lady Gaga, come touch me, (you box wearing lady-man.)....

I am eternally grateful for Sentric Music’s ongoing endorsement of “the ME show,” however all of the above is, of course, ironic bragging and faux revelry. While 40 seconds is clearly better than no seconds; I shall still have to wash my own pots and pants and I still have to do my doses of lovely, expensive cocaine off of the toilet seat as opposed to snorting my bundles out of the but-cracks and bellies of naked lady midgets. ....

Ever the bridesmaid never the bride.....

Keep’s the feet on the ground though eh?!....

In other news; I now have a camcorder with which to make a total arse of myself with. Watch this space.....

....

Britt’s in a bubble right by a brick wall.....

It burst the other day when I planted (my least valuable) guitar into the wall causing it to increase dramatically in separate parts. I guess the pressures, frustrations and boredom are building with this Herculean project I’ve took upon myself.....

Luckily my redoubtable pal Johnny Wright has offered to help me out off the impass by coming and sitting in on some of the album sessions to stop me from hurling myself and my things at the wall again.....

Oddly enough, when I actually calmed down and pencilled in a few details about where I was up to with this bastard I’ve created, the album didn’t seem that far away fm completion. ....

Silly Ian.....

After speaking with my Dutch aid and agent, I have decided to rip one possibly two tracks off Big Light and place them on the new album. It’s kind of against my artistic will but it would make sense as “Dedicate” has definitely received a lot of interest over there and so could potentially become a hit. La La La! So, it should be a wise move to relocate it on a new and full length album. (Big Light not quite making that grade with it’s 6 tracks.) I’m sure the new album is hit from end to end, though when you take into account the fact that I’ve started testing my guitars by slamming them into walls, perhaps I’m not the best judge right now.....

Serious medical need of a holiday here!....

So what else is on? Well, the album is currently in my hate list, a live in lover that you just wish would get fucked off out of there! So, again with Johnny Wright in alignment, a side project named “Dogz” has been created and we’ve been writing stuff completely different to the “Ian Britt” catalogue. We’ve penned a few busters I tell you, the most exciting of which is the track the Michael Jackson never got to record! It’s called “Put Your Mouth on Mine,” and you won’t believe it! If you want a sneaky listen, let me know your emails and I shall mail it out to you; it’s a pop sensation and will make it’s way out into the flow soon enough. Everyone around us is very excited by the track as are we! Johnny helps me stay calm!....

If you cross your arms right now, it’ll feel fine. However, if you cross them the other way, WOW… now that just don’t feel right. Aint that a thing. I’ve sat for seven hours with them crossed that anti-way and nope they still don’t feel good. Experiment complete.....

Anyone else got floaters in their eyes?....

I need a managing regularly. ....

As well as a holiday.....

Roll on the calm.....

Balls to Glasto Fest, I’ve had the radio on all day for Jacko Fest, and I tell you what… the toilets were a dam sight more appropriate round my flat. It is so very, very impressive listening back to all the music he’s pressed into our ears, despite all the child grooming and the “la-la land” life that he lived. Hearing the all the mega hits he’s churned out certainly puts Scouting For Girls into perspective (those foul ineffective goons.)

.. ..

Without MJ, life would have been a very different place indeed:

.. ..

If it wasn’t for Micky’s incessant query, we would never ever have known if Annie was ok or not.

.. ..

We would never ever have known that A,B,C really is as easy as 1,2,3. Without this insight, I for one culd nevar eva hav lernt how two spelle propurly.

.. ..

Without MJ how could we ever have known that babies really aren’t all that scared of being swung from German balconies? A true explorer; he dared to venture where we mere mortals were always so afraid to tread. (The fucking loon.)

.. ..

How else would Black people have known that dying themselves white was an option available to them? (Am I to say “Black” person or am I now a racist? Am I to say brown-of-skin, or Afro-Caribbean-Friend instead? Well, let’s just say for now I refer to anyone who’s not already greyish-pink like me)

.. ..

Without Mr M. J. Wackles, who’d have ever known, let alone given a fuck, that Elvis had a daughter who had her father’s exact same man-face?....

.. ..

How else would we all have saved so much time on listening through the entire Van Halen catalogue to get a succinct summary of the guitar work without MJ having cleverly facilitated a compilation of every single one of Eddie’s best licks into the one precise, definitive collection that we hear in Beat It? How?

.. ..

Skinny poet and ..Sheffield.. lad Jarvis Cocker would have remained forever in relative obscurity if it wasn’t for their on stage collaboration at the 1996 Brit awards. MJ, ever the facilitator, ever the Jesus impersonator… helping the lowly up onto the world stage.

.. ..

Without The King of Pop, we could never have known that clowns can simultaneously look so sad, so scary, so tragic, so tired, and so irrefutably inhuman.

http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/01/01/gal_mugshot_jackson.jpg

.. ..

Or that “a-cha-hoo” is a plausible lyric for a pop hit.....

.. ..

Or have felt safe in the knowledge that; it really doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, or even if you were black and over time you’ve become white. Which ever way it falls people, it just doesn’t matter.

.. ..

Without MJ, childhood star Macaulay Culkin would simply have faded out into obscurity.. oh… hang on… erm….....

.. ..

Yes Micheal, What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?

.. ..

I think we may have.

.. ..

In conclusion everyone; Jade Goody was a useless, shameless cretin and a terrible cunt; an ignorant, belligerent, demented, despicable pest of a “human” and a reprehensible idol for any one, even the most helplessly inbred of in-breeds, who chose to revere her. Unrelated to Wacko, but eternally relevant none the less.

.. ..

After having used MJ’s death here as a route to folly and mild ridicule, I must add, that I am a massive MJ fan and I am truly saddened by his death and departure.

.. ..

It could all be a ruse though, the fucker must surely have paid off all his debts today from radio play royalty income alone! Clever moon-walking bastard. Maybe we’ll start getting supermarket sightings like we do of Elvis? Maybe we’ll find him clutching a fun sized mars bar in a bunker one day, all ram shackled and unkempt like we did Saddam!

.. ..

Tommorrow, I’m starting with the man in the mirror.

.. ..

Next up on Radio-Gloss-Over-The-Misdemeanours-FM it’s Garry Glitter with “Leader of the Gang!”

I’m back.
Bang!
Didn’t see that coming did ya eh?
Like Harold Bishop… I rise implausibly once more!
 
I’ve been cultivating a few new pimples on my rear side, sat tirelessly in the studio… working… nay sweating over this new album I’ve been nattering about for some time now. Sounding alright y’ know!
 
I keep squawking and beeping to myself like an inarticulate, jolly toddler… so I reckon I’m fairly pleased with progress.
Got some lovely pals guesting on various tracks here and there, but more of that to come in blogs I see not so far from this night.
 
In the mean time, here are some words from a box-fresh, choral folly I penned today.
 
Give me a twirl up on the city walls
I get high on who you are
You tell me you’ve been crying
Panic’s keeping you from dyeing
 
This mess won’t spook the stables no
You came to me, Ebb and Flow
Tell me you think of me
The moment that you wake and we shall see
 
Farewell, so long, shifty eyes
Settle down.
 
You see me stare, I make you weak
Under you arm is where I creep
Convoluted flower I
Waltz around your reasons why
 
We search the thrift till th’ hours late
All the while my heart it changes shape
Sign the dotted line
Ride the road, don’t read the sign
 
Farewell, so long shifty eyes
Settle down.
 
The uber mystery of life and love
And all within and all above
Can you fit this little pearl
Somewhere inside your little world?
 
 
Preoccupied, the saviour you
You choose to save the chosen few
It’s they who choose to drown
Life belts casts can’t make a crown

Hello everyone!

Did you miss me?!

I missed you lots, lots and lots!!

 

A few bits of news:

 

I’m busy with a number of music projects not least I’m working hard writing and in the studio arranging the new album. I have sent out sample demos to those on the mailing list but if you haven’t received any EXCLUSIVE PREVIEWS yet and you’d like to please drop me you email address via myspace, hyves or facebook. Lots of exciting sounds happening and the E.T.A for the album is late 2009, so watch out for more info there!

 

I’ve finally managed to get my Dutch TV appearance on the “48 Hours” programme for Kink FM up on myspace! (It’s in the influences section-left hand side and you don’t have to be a myspace member to view it!) Go check it out, it’s pretty dam funny because in the space of the 48 hours the film crew were with me, a whole shit load of bad ass stuff happened! You even get to see me in pain whilst having a tattoo done on my hand at Hanky Panky’s in Amsterdam! There are two episodes of relative mayhem so go check it!

 

Also, I’m now on Twitter so get following if you’re a twitterer!

....Good hellos to you all there in your various varying worlds please.

.. ..

I’ve got to tell you all something rather hilarious now;
this Friday at 9pm GMT, you and I shall be able to see me, Ian Britt and my
fanny banjo performing my songs on the TV show, “Gordon’s Great British
Nightmares.”

.. ..

How’s that then?!?! Me and miserable old infidel; Gordon
Ramsey!

.. ..

I don’t think he’ll be very kind about me and having music
in the venue in question, as is his usual manner of universal condemnation… having
said that though, on the night itself, while I was in the bar/restaurant singing
my blackened and wretched little heart out, Ramsey actually stopped by the
staging area for a while to ponder my talent. He looked to me as though he’d
been touched by the charm of me and my songsmithery. Though, on hind-sight he
could just have been having a minute to hold his chin between thumb and fore
finger whilst thinking about which lady of the night to exploit next.

.. ..

(Allegedly.)

.. ..

You may even see my lovely mother somewhere in the
background, gawking at Ramsey because; “He’s off the telly!”

.. ..

For the U.K and Sky viewers you can catch it easily on
Channel 4, I’m not sure of the ins and outs of Channel 4’s online streaming,
but I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to catch it via 4 On Demand (4oD) using the following
link:

.. ..

http://www.channel4.com/4od/index.html

.. ..

One more thing while you’re here; I shall be featuring on the most celebrated Dutch alternative radio station,
Kink FM, Wednesday 4th of February, 19:00 and 21:00. The programme
is called “New Music” with DJ
Alfred van Luttikhuizen.

.. ..

The lovely Kink crew followed me for 48 hours of filming and
interviews during my three months tour in ..Europe..
last autumn and they shall be airing some of the finer moments of hilarity and desperation
from the 48 hours as well as some of my tracks during the show.

.. ..

The whole two days debacle of filming (and it truly was a debacle
at times)  has been edited down and will
be online on the Kink FM TV website from Feb. 4th for around a month.

.. ..

http://www.kinkfm.com

.. ..

So, we all now have a little something to look forward to
don’t we!

I just found out recently from a very talented bass player I know called Andy Will that both Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame attended (of their own free will,) the recent Extreme concert in London. By all accounts they were tucked up in the V.I.P area singing, bobbing and applauding along to Extremes hit filled-riff fuelled set.

 

Now, no-one thinks Extreme are cool, not even me… (probably not even the guys in the band judging from the leather jackets that the bass player wears,) but I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees with me that quivering old Jimmy P and J.P Jones are Gods and, together with the phenomenally monumental output of Led Zeppelin, have left an incredible legacy for the world of music.

 

With these two fellows seemingly in the Extreme fan camp, I now have an admission to make.

 

I can now admit to the world that: I, Ian Britt of Sheffield persuasion, am indeed and have been for some years, a fan of the band Extreme. I even attended an Extreme show in Birmingham, all alone, and full of shame, during their recent tour of the U.K.

 

I'm not proud of it and I would never tell a girl that I fancied about it.

 

I understand that admitting that there is a problem is the first step to recovery.

 

I'm sure there are more of us out there who are afraid to admit this shameful disposition. People with trendy "mix tapes" with an Extreme album hidden away on side two.

 

Together, we can grow strong and learn to get well again.

 

(I also pick my nose and eat it and while we're on the subject of eating, I also eat left over doner kebabs, cold from the night before. I even smile while I do it.)

 

I am a terrible man.

 

Please help.
