begrudgingly bound by duty of candor (morrisp), Wednesday, 13 April 2022 23:12 (two years ago) link

holy shit that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time
also prompted me to remember Four On The Floor, which also aired in the late 80s in the UK

xp i always get them mixed up with Four On The Floor! I wonder why; they were on Channel 4 around the same era maybe?

I know this doesn't strictly meet the thread title's intent, but feels like the thread has evolved over time.

Welcome to today's game of "new Hold Steady promo photo" or "dads waiting in the pickup line at a Brooklyn elementary school"?

Must admit I enjoyed a mooch through this thread, though many of the images are long gone.

I've some sympathy for those who have to be photographed despite being fatter, balder, less beautiful etc ... It must be weird.

(Not that I have to be photographed but I can feel the pain, nevertheless).
