I Ain't Your Average Punk Rock Loser

The new Viagra Boys has some gems on it, "Punk Rock Loser" is just fantastic. Druggie, Stooges-esque, blurry and poetic.

"I'm drenched in sweat when I wake up, need to hang up my sheets Pour up a beer and walk out with my shoes on my feet And I don't need nobody tell me how to dress I look in the mirror saying, "Man, you're the best" And I'm sorry, honey, but I gotta confess Don't give a fuck about you, I could really care less"

Life in Streetwear

Pixel lent me the Bobby Hundreds book - "This is Not a TShirt" and I just finished it. As casual fan of the Hundreds, I have a couple tshirts and some sneakers from them. I thought it was a pretty good read. I'm too old really to rock streetwear these days but I was there in the beginning and follow it a bit from time to time. If the book followed a more linear path on Bobby's journey I think it would have read better, but it's cool to hear how he built it up and some of his thoughts. He doesn't take himself too serious and I especially liked that. I liked the 1/2 book cover but the typography of This is Not a TShirt is kinda odd?
