#4 - yay pedophilia?

― michael crumsho (clikatowi), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Haha yeah, it's Dennis Cooper.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

Actually I'm shocked that he didn't list Ian Curtis, JOY DIVISION, circa right after he hung himself in his apartment.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

i dont even know why i know this but i am pretty silverchair dude was of age when that album was released

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

#4 correction - anorexia.

xpost

― Josh Love (screamapillar), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

nah, they were like fifteen or sixteen when that album dropped.

― michael crumsho (clikatowi), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Neon Ballroom wasn't their first record. It came out in '99, three years after they were claiming to be 15 (I just check AMG.)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

ahem:

The Australian grunge band Silverchair quickly rose to international stardom in 1995 with their debut album, Frogstomp — at the time they released Frogstomp, they were 15 years old...

(snip)

...The bland Neon Ballroom followed [in 1999], but also failed to do much for their American sales.

haha xpost of shame

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Haha

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Neon Ballroom was released a month shy of Johns's 20th birthday. (Yeah, I googled too.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

The Cooper book which had a fictionalized Alex James in it was not bad.

I bet he thought not listing Silverchair's debut was the better part of valor.

Someone from Das Damen would be on my list. Maybe three of them.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Dennis' blog is awesome, I wish I could have seen the play he did with sound design by Pita- how rad must that have been? Damn.

There are some pretty ravishing pr0n and rentboy shots on Cooper's blog too.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

i am pretty silverchair dude

As I ALWAYS suspected!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

Haha

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

haha i briefly thought about changing that

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

Haha why? It's a fiction that can only help you!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

yeah if i want to have sex with dennis cooper! so not worth it

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

i fully came in here expecting to see Hanson bros, circa "mmmbop"

― rentboy (rentboy), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

Don't forget about the women who might or might not be JT Leroy! She'll want to fuck you too!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

What, no Stipe circa Fables?!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

One can do a LOT worse than Eric Gaffney, but as I have a thing for sensitive bespectacled Jewish boys I'd take "Bakesale"-era Lou.

If you read the Comments there are amusing Hansons & Stipe mentions.

That Mary from GBOA woke me up at 3 o'clock in the morning in my room in my halls of residence playing crappy fuzzbox guitar with his mate and he was not looking very fuckable at that moment I can assure you.

― Ned T.Rifle (nedtrifle), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:49 (twenty years ago)

I'll definitely take Alex James (tho' now he looks rather worn), give Richard Lloyd a second look after a few drinks, and toss the rest to the fishes.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

I would think that Natalie Imbruglia would be a good reason to want to be Silverchair dude.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:55 (twenty years ago)

silverchair dude probably has more womanly hips than natalie imbruglia

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:57 (twenty years ago)

wow, ash bowie IS pretty hot. paul weller at any age tho - why why why why?

― joseph (joseph), Monday, 14 November 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

i think orange juice-era edwyn collins would be right up cooper's alley.

― joseph (joseph), Monday, 14 November 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

1. Gary Troxel (The Fleetwoods)
2. John "Speedo" Reis (Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, The Sultans)
3. Gerry Roslie (The Sonics)
4. Jack Scott
5. Lonnie Mack
6. Carl Wilson (The Beach Boys, solo)
7. Steve Bronski (Bronski Beat...if he's the blonde one)
8. Craig Finn (Lifter Puller, The Hold Steady)
9. Jeppe "Senior" Laursen (Junior Senior)
10. Bubba Sparxxx

4-6 were sexier before they tried growing beards.

I will have to take a pass at listing eminently penetratable country & western stars, but from Jimmie Rodgers to Kenny Chesney, there's a lot of 'em.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

eric gaffney lost some weight, looks good these days I SAY AS A STR8 MAN.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

GAYTARI

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

Looking over the blog comments, I think that wanting to fuck a junkie rock singer is possibly the most retardly rockist thing anybody could ever ever ever do. C'MON, put a little PIZAZZ in your death-wish, fer chrissakes.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

And they're all WHITE, you anglocists!

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

Mine are all white, too!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 03:20 (twenty years ago)

Hendrix might/would/should be on most ppl's lists, I'd think.

I demand that "transgressive" "comedian" be added by the moderator to the Sarah Silverman thread title.

Primo underage f***ability circa '94:
