I vote on that picture as the t-shirt design.
stonedranger is nothing if not cheeky it seems.
oh my god..
now i see why all the hatin was.
are they serious?
AhHHHHHhhhh!!! BTD is in my spaghetti!!!
the guy on the left looks like he's requesting that i punch him
the guy on the right has lived in denton for two weeks and is trying to grow it.
i think the guy on the right plays casio keyboard for the tumbleweeds.
umm....Interpol sux. And so do all of the bands trying to be Interpol. A knock off of a knock off. Ian Curtis is turning over in his grave.
i heard black tie dynasty and belafonte are playing a show together!
UP MY OWN ASS!
yeah, how can you deny the horror that is this photograph?
did a highschool photo student take it?
wow, you're photographer knows how to make circles w/ a pen light!
...this photo reminds me of a crime scene, but, you know... covered up in ice cream

the one on the left with the hand modeling thing seems kinda sexually driven.he speaks to me with his eyes.it is the look of love..i hope he bites me and makes me immortal.wow, i just realized I have a george hamilton fantasy.
i must catch a show now-
oh my god.."come hither young virgin...i shall prepare a place for us,for we are chid'ren of da night"
come kneel before zod
it's one thing to rip off interpol, but another thing all together to rip them off, have the "charisma" of the killers and the lyrics of John Mayer
they do look like the villians in superman3 the ones stuck in the glass jail. uncanny, but which one is the girl??
The singer looks like some sort of Billy Zane/Tiny Tim hybrid.
i hope that band of lights around them prevent them from playing anymore music out.

Again, wow.
seriously?
seriously? is that hair real?
YES!! haha... oh, man... Where is "Andrea" when you need her?
Is it true their new album is called "bowl movements"?
wow.. i blew that one.. correction: "bowel movements"
your eating black tie dynasty michael. Lost boys 1988
The album is actually titled "Movements Toward Failure"
sometimes it looks like a beethoven wig. just a little unkempt. i wonder how long it takes to get that rats nest looking stlylishly messy.
no thanks.
we should invite these guys to play at one of the DIY venues. We'll have video cameras there to video us simultaneously throwing up all over the band.
...or, if you're anti-vomit, maybe we could just douche them w/ water from a fire hydrant.
...and it's all caught on tape.
...that shit would circulate so well it's incredible.
I am here, Gary P. Anonymous!
And I assert that Cory's hand is out of control.
superman two was my main inspiration for my character in The Phantom.
man i didn't think i was gay but now im certain. not a crack on the gay community, nothing but honesty here.
In all fairness ... This has no relevance to the shit they bring on themselves, but they do what they do fairly well ... uh, musically that is.
Anyone who has ever liked the cheesier early Depeche Mode could at least see where they're coming from. At least it has character.
BTD over FlickerRadiantStick any day ...
uh, "bring on the hat
e" or something ...
THE PROPER "eee" HAS 3...COUNT THEM...3 E'S.
the short pouty one looks like he would have cold sores. and a zitty back.
just saying.
i wonder if thats a powdered wig in the picture
what self respecting girl would want to run her fingers through that mess of mousse?
Oh, Andrea... Where would I be without you? You know, looking at this picture now for the 200th time today... I have realized 3 things about myself:
1.) I really am gay
2.) I don't ever want to hear a synthesizer, guitar, keytar or music in general ever again
3.) I need to try and rebuild my relationship with my parents
are u talking about andreas picture or black tie
Oh, Gary P. Don't abandon the keytar.
this is where it gets real complicated..
example..
the cure, joy division*original source*(sort of,stranglers and i'm sure someone else may have been first)
interpol, killers-*revival rip-off source*
black tie dynasty-*second revival of the too late to rip-off first original source source*
by this time there a few hangers on.young girls that missed the first wave?people that just don't know any better?
see then it's over&over..til someone does something original..then over &over again.
PLUS you've got tons of other bands that do cross genres from time to time.then the originals are bled of all respect after these rip offs take over...
it's sickening & takes alot of constraint to not go on stage and blow these guys heads off.
yeah, I wonder if rip off bands tend to make people less inclined to listen to the original source music?
For example, does the ten years of Nirvana rip off bands that have come and gone negatively effect peoples experiences when listening to Nirvana? I think it might.
I think you are right about that SR.. I personally hate Nirvana b/c I've had to endure Nickelback as a result... Similarly, I just can't bear to listen to Peter, Paul and Mary b/c I have heard Salim Nallourah
haha was nirvana the source???
well I mean that Nirvana was the source for most of the Nickleback bands. Sure, Nirvana pulled from its own set of influences, as did the rest of the grunge bands, but I bet your average Creed member doesn't know shit about any of Nirvana's influences other than those that get played on KZPS.
Nickelback is only one in a series of bands that adhere to an idea of a new wide appealing adult contemporary genre thought up by Clear Channel. No shit. I may be breaking confidentiality but... I work in a hoity toity drug rehab facility that had a clear channel executive at one time about 5 years ago. cool guy actually. He told me about a meeting he sat in on in which the idea was to come up with a whole new genre that mixed "young country" and "new rock". This new genre wouldn't be fully realized for about 10-20 years. But it would clump the YC and NR crowd into a bigger market and make more money off of them. So, I... I don't know where i was going with this. oh.. shit. Well, Nickelback is actually someone's cruel idea of what a Garth Brooks and Nirvana rip-off would sound like. More examples - Default and Three Doors Down.
At the time he told me this, I didn't think it would ever work. Well, feck me Clear Channel.
hey streisnad I just score video footaghe of P.I.L. live on the Old Grey Whistle Test doing Poptones into Careering. It is kind of mind blowing. You are gonna have to come by and check it out before I leave town. Oddly enough I quit listening to Sex Pistols as soon as I scored second edition in my teen years. sex Pistols suck. I love reading about them, but I don't think I have even listened to never mind the bollocks in over 15 years. I still listen to the first 2 P.I.L. records a few times a week........
Oh yeah. I have been showing this Black tie picture to all of my coworkers. Very entertaining.
thats really interesting Cory. Tell us more...
HAHA... I USED TO DANCE MY ASSSSS OFF TO SOME A.B.C.
...and mwanz, i JUST recently picked up a "double origional" cd set of the 1st two PIL releases.... i'm not giving up on the pistols, but P.I.L is a helluva lot more musically interesting.
....second edition is quite rad. I found myself noticing how many bands that i listen to rip on them (just about every band i thought was mainly influenced by Gang of Four was probably equally influenced by P.I.L..... The Rapture for an easy example)
That's all I remember of the conversation. Every time I hear a shitty song on the radio I'm haunted by it. Yes I listen to radio when I'm at work. Usually in the patient transport van on my way home to poop.
pooping on the clock is the new not doing anything at work.
oh yes, it negativley affects those bands..
TOO MUCH of a good thing will make you sick after a while..
and that's with anything,not just music..
that's the way of the world..
when will a flipper revival start?
dude, unless you're a complete jackass, you would have known PIL was cool like 15 years ago.
if you're under the age of 25, then you have a 5 year grace period...
pil will ALWAYS BE COOL
guess what?yr the jackass

15 years ago I was 17 years old and about to graduate high school. I bought second edition when I was 15.The first 2 albums are still cool and much cooler than most of the indie stuff coming out now a days. C'mon. It's good stuff. Still.
when i think of music that is "so 15 years ago" i think of Wrex N Effect (not sure i spelled that right, sorry superfans)... not P.I.L.
do they ever play "rumpshaker" @ the slip in(n?)'s rap night?
check baby check baby
DAS EFX!
Um, late PiL blows ... like the one with the twat on the cover ...
they are all so sad.
