"Homeless or Electroclash?"

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

My buddy Nick has a habit of photographing people on his nightly exploits. He has now used the polling feature of LiveJournal to make a little poll/quiz.

Feel free to view the results this quiz/poll, if you will, which asks you if the person shown is a) homeless or b) electroclash.

Number 1

Number 2

Number 3

Enjoy.

I thought the two words were synonymous.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that actually supposed to be funny? Is Nick an 80 year old man? "Kids--they dress caaarraaaaaazzzzy!!!"

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I dunno. I don't see any similarities between Electroclash kids and the homeless.

― dean! (deangulberry), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, he's only 63; he just looks older.

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think I get it. They look pretty electroclash to me. The homeless usually look more like they're suffering and less like they're dressed up to go to an electroclash club.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah--I mean in what way do they resemble homeless people at all? Maybe if they were homeless people in Bladerunner.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't remember the last time I saw a homeless person wearing a pink lacoste shirt and blush - unless he's one of these hidden electroclash homeless I've been hearing about.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

it's all about this pic (which also i don't get what it was doing there):

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i shoulda resized that, sorry.

but look at him¡ i'm still laughing.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't remember the last time I saw a regular, nonhomeless person wearing a pink Lacoste shirt and so much blush; that's so last year.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:34 (twenty-two years ago)

homeless v. vegan
homeless v. hippie
homeless v. fort thunder

all of that works. homeless v. electroclash, nothxokbai.

― dean! (deangulberry), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

xpost: Well Ally, I don't think the homeless can afford the latest fashion, k?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I have striped pants like that. They look better on me though, cuz I dont have stupid squiggly hair.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

allyzay otm. it is really impossible for any of this to make less sense.

is the homeless guy on the bench supposed to be easily confused for a legowelt fan? and by who, the pinefox?!

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:05 (twenty-two years ago)

this thread is...

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

pinefox is a legowelt fan?????

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

..technotronic?

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

That picture could have come from my neighborhood. Jesus F0ker.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyone remember Luxx? Electroclashmania wooohaa!

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

luxx or lexx¿

+ the guy 2nd from the left kills me. looks like he's blowing his load after a decade of not getting off. he's creepy and adorable all jumbled up together¡

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I never went to the Saturday night electroclash night at Luxx, but I did go to the FRIDAY night electroclash night. Spencer Product kicked me off the decks right at the stroke of midnight :(

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 23:10 (twenty-two years ago)

They look more boho than homeless....unless these homeless are in Beverly Hills or Malibu.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Bohomeless!! bwahahaha ho ha. Ahem.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

bohomeless rhapsody

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

What happened to Whatever It Takes (WIT)? I would've thought that with a name like that, they'd manage to remain in the public eye?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I always respected the fact that they said originality would never get in the way of their commercial success. I guess they didn't end up having all that much to worry about.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 25 February 2004 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

haha WIT were ever in the public eye?

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The blonde girl's from WIT isn't she?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Their failure to ride the Larry T wave pool to success gives me hope for the future of humanity.

― Dickerson Pike (Dickerson Pike), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

haha people remember what WIT looked like?!

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I dunno, maybe it's just the d.s.l.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway I don't see why you can't be homeless AND electroclash. Maybe no one is? I'm trying to think and I'm drawing a blank.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Oooh yeah, I remember what they looked like. What did they sound like? Not sure.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Bored.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Three Linda McCartney vocal tracks played simultaneously over Boney M.

― Dickerson Pike (Dickerson Pike), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:54 (twenty-two years ago)

They had two perfectly good songs, people.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw them play once and they played two songs and it ruled!! I was kind of glad they stopped there though. Somebody please help me remember the name of this club, it was in or around Chelsea and it's either closed now or has been on hiatus, Michael T played on Wednesdays. Owned by guy who owned Exit and revamped the Limelight...?? TOTAL BLANK.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 February 2004 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Arrgh why did you have to mention the dearly deceased Exit you bastard :(

Anyway I thought they always played Berliniamsburg or whatever the fuck but that's clearly not what you're talking about. I'm drawing a blank on the name of the club but I know the one you mean.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 01:03 (twenty-two years ago)

It was kind of sterile but they actually stayed open late and had a big dancefloor. Wednesdays were the only nights I ever went.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 26 February 2004 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

That's extremely harsh. My goodness, that's harsh.

"We will find you and kill you, Dickerson Pike"

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:03 (twenty-two years ago)

That one on the left isn't a member of WIT, she's a man baby.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

She is not a man Ally, she's an extremely hot chick with European cheekbones.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:06 (twenty-two years ago)

And an extremely mannish jaw and nose.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I love you all.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm really disappointed right now, I thought WIT were hot. Those three look like bowling alley girls with some sort of '80s Photoshop filter thrown on top of them. WIT=WTF now.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

hahaha

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 26 February 2004 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

dean, are you trolling me & jon?

and seriously, none of those people look all that homeless. too clean.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 26 February 2004 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I wonder how much cocaine WIT uses

That WIT or WTF girl in the middle is hot in that I-look-exactly-like-Traci-Lords kinda way.

i think this might have been me and ronan drinking stellas at 11am on a sunday morning in smithfields

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 27 February 2004 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I really think I could be a contestant for this today thanks to my BEAN STAINED cut off norwegian language tshirt!

― LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, imagine an electroclash version of that kids' show GUTS. The AGROCRAG.... with Chicks on Speed hurling boulders at you!

― LITTLE LAMB [Jon Williams] (ex machina), Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I LOVE the chick in the front's jacket in the pic dyson first posted. i wish i was little so i could track her down, kill her, take her jacket, and actually fit in it.
