Very true. That's because this guy's nose is located a mere 1/2 inch from his mouth. Whoo, that guy's homely! Good thing he's so talented - and a guy.
its got nothing to do with what you look like you idiot, being cool isn't purely based on modern perceptions of general indie music such as skinnies and long hair, so sort yourself out

if ya wannit... luk f me!! ill have navy jeans on and white crosshatch top on.... im only askin f a tenner f it... 12 quid at the door aswell xx cya at th gig (y)
these guys seem to have gotten more 'dancey' on this record- not a bad thing, this record is total aceness... the band just keep getting tighter and better! :)
This lot have got have the right idea. Enough of the cool hair, tight jeans. Go for the opposite, Geeks and geography teachers, this is the band to follow.
question to all the gals! ok, would u honestly go out with the main singer, but based ONLY on looks, no talent shite (cos that would probably change ur opinion) heehee
there are elements of the clash here, i can feel it... great song, i can't say great band as i haven't explored the album yet. the video is quite strange, and they were quite literal about the thing what with there being an actual fake rabbit and an actual real snake . . . but what the fuck was the apple for? and why didn't it get a mention? if i were the apple i'd feel quite left out.
Well they obviously grew up listening to the Gang Of Four (and even have Any Gill as their producer), but there's no disguising genius at work. Awesome stuff.
Sounds like the lead singer from Shed Seven. How can a great band like Shed Seven be called old hat or not cool these days? They've got some classic songs.
