I beg and wheedle until they put this on

Therapy? - Nowhere

Maybe, I don’t know if people are scouring eBay for a vintage senseless things t-shirt though.

[drastic_measures]

Or jacobs mouse.

I worked at a Hawkwind show a couple of years ago, and a very large percentage of the audience were wearing Hawkwind tour shirts. Definitely some internal cachet for having the oldest tour shirts.

I think you may be surprised. Middle aged men reliving their youth and all that.

Many of my favourite early DiS meat memories involved screaming the obvious other Therapy? jam at people.

There’s a bit of tension between the skater kids and the indie kids as the skaters keep trying to start a mosh, but the indie kids just want to shuffle awkwardly to Buddy Holly by Weezer.

Presidents of The USA’s cover of Video Killed The Radio Star unites them all.

Has anyone added one armed scissor? Although wait that’s a couple years later

[drastic_measures]

Oh yeah, I get that, but the people there that day selling would be the same people buying, if that makes sense. Quite like the idea they might have all sold their old t-shirts to each other actually

[anon24576931]

Yeah same as mistakes and regrets.

I had a conversation along those lines with my friend on my way home, as there was a lot of t-shirts on display that day of bands that, with the best will in the world, were unlikely to be able to manufacture or sell any t-shirts after the early nineties. I think we concluded that they were probably bought at the time but saved ‘for best’.

Dunno m9, you’d be surprised what you can still get on eBay in 2020…

What are you wearing?

Keeping it contemporary today… [IMG_20200721_113610477] Plus black denim shorts. That’s it, two items of clothing only

Born in 75, grew up in Zone 2 London then went to Uni in Manchester so this sort of thing never had to happen to me.

But I can tell you that the nights were no less likely to be shit for being held in the big metrops.

[anon24576931]

Some of the worst songs in the world come on, and it’s time to go to the toilet or the bar

I’m sorry to say that 18 year old me would’ve (and did) dance to the OPM one.

A good chunk of your school uses a zip up Korn or Coal Chamber hoodie with back print as a coat. Constantly getting told to take them off indoors.

Korn - Freak On a Leash (AC3 Stereo) (Official Music Video)

[blimeycharlie]

With my spikey hair and combat trousers. Awful.
