yeah, yeah, ha, ha and thrice ha. But let's face facts -- wearing a band/concert t-shirt is generally perceived as a declaration of fandom. Sporting, say, a "vintage" Sacred Reich t-shirt when one is not a Sacred Reich fan makes one a dishonest, disengenuous dick. Full stop. Moreover, being that the classic black metal concert t-shirt was formerly the calling card of the social pariah (cast out due to his/her "weird" tastes and failure to adhere to arguably more accessible fare), the appropriation of same by whistle-headed, blonde cheerleader types is an unacceptable insult to those who paid the price of unpopularity for their fandom. Is nothing sacred?

Pharrell Williams, y'know, listened to AC/DC. At least if his "I grew up around white biker trash" backstory (as seen in Da Capo 2000) has any veracity.
I own a Japanese Sapporo baseball jersey. I've always wanted to try Sapporo but the bar I go to with friends on occasion has stopped carrying it. Fuck.

Sapporo is best drunk out of the solid 650ml cans from a portable esky while lying in an extremely hot bath reading J.P. Donleavy and listening to the Fall. About 4 cans.
Is anyone else pissed off that there's a clothing band called 'Morrissey'?

by this logic Fred Durst should be allowed to wear all these shirts. Current listening according to his blog: Sparklehorse, Death Cab For Cutie, Pegboy.

Isn't Shania Twain married to Mutt Lange?
Or put another way, isn't it potentially credible that living with the guy who produced the album that the shirt she's wearing promotes might mean she's heard it?

I'm wondering in particular how (just for example) certain Killing-Joke-loving, NYC-living ILXors would feel about The Corrs wearing Iggy Pop shirts, since it might appear that they could claim sort of entitlement to do so with impunity?

Hm, I guess, given the overall context (where he was admitting he himself didn't know some of the bands and then made clear that he didn't have an actual problem with this), I had seen it as better-intentioned but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt bc I knew him then. I respect your pov and don't want to be Capn-Save-a-17yo-Post; I can see why it could land differently for someone who has faced those attitudes.

mark g, moondog has great song titles just fyi
― brimstead, Sunday, 10 October 2021 15:58 (two years ago) link
I was in NY and I saw a Moondog 10" which looked intersting.
Then I saw it was on Honest Jon's label, ie the shop around the corner where I was employed at that time.
Seemed a bit daft to just buy it there and take it home all that way.
Anyway, when the film does come out, and I get my dvd reward, I'll come to his music fresh.
(I have heard some short pieces already though)
I'm sure you understood that my point was Because I'm a guy, nobody would ask me to qualify my wearing it, whereas if etc.

He should be wearing a "Garfield" t-shirt, right? "Big, fat, hairy deal?" You know, Garfield?
