how do you feel about "a mix between the stone roses and primal scream with the swagger of oasis" - just something off top of my head
don't forget to put your own modern unique spin on it

"a mix between Acker Bilk and Lonnie Donegan with the swagger of Tommy Steele"
― xelab, Wednesday, 11 February 2015 19:34 (nine years ago) link
tommy steele rocked really hard and he looked awesome so if you are starting one of these bands don't look to him for inspiration. acker bilk on the other hand....

There is a part of me that would love to dress up like a shit failed mod for the hilarity factor. Comb over the bald spot, try not to look like a crimewatch photo-fit and wear a completely ill fitting suit for the first time in my life, viola! instant ace face tragedy! Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

He is featured in this Guardian article which doesn't really belong on this thread. I'd guess he was having a laugh but some might say* that he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.*keeping it on topic

ah sorry to derail and ask on this light-hearted thread - very interesting article, not really seen anyone try to draw conclusions like that before. my mum is from glin, though i guess your uncle is the man talking about artane.

Yeah that's him, I shouldn't really be posting it on here but just thought it would add a bit of light to the incident I mentioned upthread.

I used to work in regional news about 7/8 years ago and we did a lot of stories that came via the police, about a bookies being robbed or whatever. It was fairly common for the police press release to just say "the suspect is described as a black male". But if it was a white person they'd be wearing "a distinctive orange sports top" or whatever.
― Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Friday, 6 March 2015 14:23 (nine years ago) link
I guess what I'm getting at is, why didn't all those black criminals wear more distinctive clothes?

this documentary from the mid 90s about lanarkshire lad-rock band the gyres is about the funniest thing on the internet. like a spinal tap of post-oasis lad-bands, except these cunts are for real.
terrible quality sadly
