Blimey it was Momus all along! Who would ever have recognised him in that cunning get-up?

Comments...?

Y'know, honestly I've really only heard Momus on the Darla comps. Not that I didn't want to pick up anything else, mind you. It's just that I'm poor...

Actually, having just been to his site a few days ago, I didn't recognize him so much as I recognized his kitchen. And, uh, his hat.

Apparently, far too many people recognized him. If I ever got to be an indie-rock star, I'd hope to enjoy more anonymity than that. Of course, an eyepatch can be a dead giveaway....

I hadn't the faintest idea. I'm impressed. Popstars are everywhere nowadays.

There have been serious irregularities in the voting procedure. I demand a full manual recount of all dimpled chads.

The gay marine postal votes, where were they? This is going all the way to the Supreme Court. If necessary I will seek final arbitration from Paul Weller of the Style Council.

For some reason I always expected Momus to look more like Chester A. Arthur, but as a pirate.

As opposed to the solo-bore Weller :) ?

Momus as a Dumpy's Rusty Nuts fan. Truly, surrealism is far from dead.

This week it's Nanette's turn on the Cool page, ey? What do I win?

― Stevie Nixed, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

nanette? i thought it was bjork. ;)

anyway, momus was my third guess after fatboy slim and moby.

― fred solinger, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Coudln't be Bjork cause the girl's not wearing a paper-dress. ;-)

― Stevie Nixed, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Why does Momus wear so much clothes though?

― Ally, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I must truly be on crack, or have some sort of brain wasting disease or something because not only did I not recognize Momus, I thought it was a *girl*. D'oh! Exactly why I thought that I can't quite figure out.

I may have to burn my collection of goodies from the el label as punishment...

― Nicole, Wednesday, 25 April 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

I felt a little uncool not knowing it was Momus. Then again, if I ran into the Sea and Cake, or Solvent, or Third Eye Foundation, out on the street I wouldn't have a clue. I kind of like some of favorite artists to seem faceless. Its refreshing in this eMpTyV age.

four months pass...

Has AICON been abandoned? Who was Week 21's victim?
