Robert McGinnis

We're feeling a bit James Bondy at Edge and Barrett today, working on a very special project (we would tell you but we would have to kill you), and have decided to take a little lifestyle inspiration. So we're getting into serious grooming, shopping for the new season and swapping the pints of Stella for Martini Asti (hopefully this counts as an upgrade, we're really getting into the eighties drinks right now). Randomly our Bond spark has led us to discover the wonderful work of Robert McGinnis, genius artist illustrator well known for his paperback and poster designs. It's all so good and we advise googling right now if you're not in tune with his work. Get inspired.

Dobie Gray...

...is this month's musical hero at Edge and Barrett, we've had the 1974 classic Drift Away on a loop for what seems like forever, what a man, what a tune...we've taken inspiration from the wonderfully under celebrated compilation classice That Loving Feeling 3, dusted off after we interviewed the beautiful Bailey Tzuke for the last issue of Station. Bailey is the singer/songwriter daughter of Judy Tzuke of Stay With Me 'til Dawn fame...if you don't know this album google now. Other music floating around our world is Mr Dizzee "The God" Rascal, amazing at Lovebox, amazing always, and Ministry of Sound's latest R&B round up, which is full of 90s denim bum hugging, hoop earrings 90s hits...it's a must because I Love Your Smile...
