Twenty-eight years old and sporting a tight-fitting sweater and bowl cut?
 

Haha....bowl cut.

Sorry.

red hair off?even head off?

I know Mr. Matos...was my bro's friend for a long time. Doin' quite well with his writing...
What did you look like in '99, Cantankerous?

I wore the bowl cut and the page boy for a long time.
I have super-straight hair, jeez.
Did Sonic Boom get this much crap for his bowl cut?

That was a HILARIOUS read last night.

I want to know how this can be my "dark past" when I am still in this band right now.

Do you still have the bowl cut?

No, but it does take me longer to get ready now, what with having regressed even further into the gravity-defying hairdos of my long-lost teen years.

This is why it is your dark past. You aren't a whiny emo boy with a bowlcut crying about your band being ignored by its own scene.

We still love you, drone. You just had a bowl cut. Now, you have to deal with the consequences.

I was more calling attention to the frustrating irony of the situation than whining, but you can read into it however you want.
As to my past haircuts: sooner or later you will look back on some of your fashion choices and cringe. Mark my words.

Now where's my Geritol?

You haven't picked it up from Walgreens.

I don't think I'm going to make Haino tonight. I have 11 dollars and still have to buy gas and a ticket:S.

What is wrong with a bowl cut anyway?

Not a whole lot.

I'll give it to you, drone, you still looked good with a bowl cut.

I always thought of bowl cuts as being sort of a mod thing, and I try and inhabit the two opposing fashion worlds of mod and goth simultaneously most of the time.

I am lining up a few embarrassing photos right now, some of which have not been posted before. One involves a cape, even. A cape I still wear in winter.

hahaha, funny stuff

A cape????

Oh, dear God, the hilarity.

Cantankerous will have a hay day.

OK, here we go.

Bowl cut:


Bowl cut with staff and cape!



1989-90 dreadlocks (if you're gonna give me crap, for god's sake THIS IS THE ONE):


1985:




I could go on and on, but I think I've given you at least 4 years' worth of fodder for your relentless taunts and barbs there.

dude, i was going to ask you if the cape one involved a cane...my answer lies in that post.

Not only a cane, but a Baphomet as well!
Oh yes.

Oh, God, the dreadlocks picture is horrible. Did you smoke pot with SuchFriends at the time?

I still remain that you look good with the bowl cut no matter how lame it really is.

The JAMC look is different to say the least.

true, true; goes without saying. you just need a picture of lavey sticking out of one of your pockets or in your hand.

i'm seeing sex gang children next week, can i borrow your outfit?

I saw them in 1992.
I think I had a bowl cut at the time.

Sex Gang Children?Go away!

They were great in their time.
Not so good when I saw them, but I did love them as a teenager.

so no good live? i might skip them, i think i saw another show that might interest me that weekend (besides anathema, of course).

They are the height of naffness.Them and Comsat Angels were horrid.

Well, this was 14 years ago and they were just getting back into the swing of things, so maybe they are better now. I have no idea.


Their music hasn't aged terribly well though, I'll admit.

they are fun and funny, what's not to like?

if you guys are so good, being in the wire and AP... how come i havent heard of ya?

the dreadlock picture doesnt even look much like you.

Probably because those reviews occurred when you were in grade school, and it's not like it was a full-on media blitz.

oh so your past your hayday?

Apparently, as the sum total of all my years on this planet have led to this moment right now.

iIwould negatively rep you again golden whatever you are called but it wont let me.

hmm, i just found live at soo gallery for $12 dollars. would you recommend this? ill have to pick it up i guess...

Bullshit Elvis Presley?
