Yes

There is nothing we on DiS like more than to poke fun at Lightspeed Champion's dress sense. "Ha ha, look at Dev and his amusing clothing and hat!" we chorus on a regular basis. All of us.

Infact

I feel a chorus coming on right about now:

"Ha ha, look at Dev and his amusing clothing and hat!"

dear msmonipenni

I thought the original hymn sheet read "hat" rather than "that", and purposefully so.

Very few of the people

I was going to laugh, but then I saw the amount of sexy girls

on there, so I started crying instead.

If I was U, I'd go to my doctor

If you're having trouble discerning a scrotum from a black coat (less hair for a start).

I'm sure matey boy from this band

poked his head round the door of the boozer I was in on Saturday to check the football score. He was wearing some form of fluorescent flowered hoody contraption.

how on earth is that blog worthy

everyone used to dress like that!

fucktherave | 29 Apr '08, 22:06 | Send note | Report this | Reply

It isn't.

This clearly isn't a blogger who spots creativity and subtlety. Its a blogger who walks around and thinks 'he looks like he could be in a band'.

Anyone could do this. Like literally anyone at all.

At the risk of sounding non-web 2.0 compliant

who is this Facehunter? Is it like Predator?

TheSoundofBastards | 29 Apr '08, 16:48 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I dunno, he's some guy who lives near

Cheshire Street (my mate sees him a lot, he says hello to her apparently) hence the number of photos around Brick Lane.

'Facehunter' does sound like he might go home and do sadistic things to the photos though, doesn't it?

I wish he was like Predator, all invisible. Then none of those snapped would know he was there, camera in hand. Though that does make him a bit voyeuristic.

some of the people on there look fairly normal to me.

Or, they just look like they've made a bit of an effort to wear something unusual, nothing wrong with that.

tartrocker | 29 Apr '08, 17:08 | Send note | Report this | Reply

^ I agree

see I have no problem with what they're wearing. Wear whatever the fuck you like, but some of them are funny.

(or I'm envious)

willparton | 29 Apr '08, 17:46 | Send note | Report this | Reply

what's with the vacant expressions?

and the way most of them hang their arms to their sides like they suffer from muscular dystrophy

it's quite depressing that people can make so much effort just to walk about town

i am and always will be

hopelessly out of fashion but that panda dress is fucking wrong. I use the term 'dress' loosely.

They all look great!

And I know one of them. Josh Weller was on it a few weeks back and his umbrella was at least 70% less desirable than mine.

BobbyGrindrod | 29 Apr '08, 23:42 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Well...

Not all of them. The chap on the crates looks cool cos I know him and I'm not going to cuss him down.

BobbyGrindrod | 30 Apr '08, 15:43 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Christ.

That's like a horrible, badly done rip-off of The Sartorialist, but instead of photographing actual style, this guy just snaps people in very tight INDIE gear.

zzz

I actually think he looks quite cool

and enjoy the odd scrawl through facehunter.

They're making the effort, it's nice!

I actually bought some crocket & jones black shoes from a charity shop the other day for £4.75. found out they're about 250 quid the following day. good times!

BUT THEY AINT MAKIN NO EFFORT.

Its not THROWN TOGETHER either.

Outfits that do not work.

None of the people on here look like they've made the effort. They're absolute everyday students who happen to be wearing loud colours and patterns.

He's also a dogshit photographer.

wrightylew | 29 Apr '08, 23:58 | Send note | Report this | Reply

yeah but some of them do wear actual nice clothes

i agree that doesnt work though. Given that i usually just wear a t shirt and jeans every day i cant really say much about it being boring.

fucktherave | 30 Apr '08, 00:02 | Send note | Report this | Reply

You can, because you're not claiming to

be fashionable or stylish. He's claiming these lot are, when in reality, as all DiSers know too well, every indie band gig is FULL of these people.
