When was the last one taken? I'm guessing mid 70's as there's a heavy "Donny & Marie" look to it.
― snoball, Tuesday, 3 February 2009 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link
lol yeah, my sister was a big Osmonds fan. If I had to guess, I'd say 1978-79? I was born in November 1969, so that should give you an idea of the progression here.

lol sunny, I had the same T-shirt (& I wasn't a huge fan of the band - I mostly liked the message the shirt communicated to the rest of the world).
― Ricky Apples (Pillbox), Saturday, 7 February 2009 01:00 (fifteen years ago) link
i was so in love with that record i would have married it.
― JAM, DWANGELA, RELLY! (sunny successor), Saturday, 7 February 2009 03:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Sunny I had the same shirt too but in all black. There was something on the back too . . . was it a lemon fetus with a gun or something? That might have been the first band shirt I ever bought. I loved the shit out of that record too.

― Ricky Apples (Pillbox), Saturday, 7 February 2009 04:07 (fifteen years ago) link
j/k. poor guy. I wish him well. FWIW I did like that record. I just liked Lovey more. Lemonheads were part of a brief dalliance I had with Amer-indie, wedged in between more serious long-term relationships I had with mopey Brit post-punk & the 'gaze.
― Ricky Apples (Pillbox), Saturday, 7 February 2009 04:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't know - I never had a big Dando crush but I did really like Hate Your Friends.

sorry ladies. no offense - it's just that there were a lot of Dando crushes out there in those days, see.
― Ricky Apples (Pillbox), Saturday, 7 February 2009 05:42 (fifteen years ago) link
almost as many as there were j. hatfield crushes
