every single picture of Sumerland seems to conform to this model of "we're all wearing black jeans and band t-shirts except the one guy who isn't (who may or may not be our dad)(he also has keys hanging from his belt)"

Who's not playing along in the Wilburys?

I see two alternative options:

* The guy on the lower right refused to wear a white shirt.
* The guy on the upper right didn't want to dye his hair black.

Though TBH it looks like the middle guy and the guy on the upper left are the only ones who're really playing along: they look pretty much identical, right down to the hairstyle and beard. The left guy's shades are the only distinguishing feature.

xpost I'd argue that the one dude's lack of sunglasses is less egregious that the other dude's Star Wars shirt poking out of his hoodie.

Surely there exists a band photo consisting of 3 dudes with boners and one dude without

Tuomas' Traveling Wilburys posts are some of the most PVICs ever.

"The left guy's shades are the only distinguishing feature" is where it really peaks imo

what is stevie refusing to do? was she perhaps confused about the photographer's "everybody with a hat, on my right" instruction?

fact checking cuz, Sunday, 30 September 2018 18:52 (five years ago) link

she's not looking at the camera. which is a sign of being dead in some Eastern cultures.

"there's six of us now. please make sure there are six pair of black jeans at the next photo shoot, thank you."

The shades dude is cheating too by wearing charcoal.

A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil's heart: "I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back."

Thayil explodes: "What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?"

"But I hate it," Corgan says, "it means they don't think I'm the cute one."

I hate talking about someone's looks, but D'arcy looks like shit.

Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 22:52 (five years ago) link
