I don't really like those bands, although I prefer the Rapture to most of the other 80s-revivalists out there. I never got into the Cure back in the day. Or the Smiths. Or Depeche Mode, although I now like the song Personal Jesus thanks to Felix Da Housecat and Johnny Cash.

Although I'm down with the plaid pants.

I've worn lots of shit in my day, but I have never owned plaid pants. Is it possible to do so without being in a bad ska band or looking like you just joined the golf course after hitting the lottery and don't know any better?

They look good with sportscoats.

I loved Cash's last few discs, but I don't really dig the Personal Jesus cover. On that record, my favorites are "Sam Hall" (shocking, eh?) and "When the Man Comes Around" (only Cash could pull off a song about revelations without sounding like Danzig*).
People keep telling me to buy Franz Ferdinand, but I just can't do it. You don't happen to own that, do you?
* An imbecile. Why is this idiot considered a great early punk genius? There's a great site, I think called azpunk.com, where danzig shoves some guy and the guy punches him out with one shot to the face. Pretty funny.

I have to say, I just bought some madras plaid pants for my son, although hesitated because I thought they might be a little over-the-top (although that's hard to achieve in TCOTU). Anyway, I decided they were ironic in a PLF sort of way (and they were 50% off), so ca-CHING! |

Just make sure your son maintains a healthy ironic distance from the pants at all times. He should be in the pants, but not of them, like PLF and Minnesota. |

I was being non-serious and sarcastic and stuff, but since he's just a kid, it might be OK.
On the other hand, HE'S JUST A KID!!!!!!!!!!!

Once I mentioned Gang of Four (which doesn't sound like these other bands), and you reacted with pure disdain. You have strong opinions on music.

My husband has two pairs and they look good on him and he has (as far as I know) never been in a bad ska band or just joined the golf course after hitting the lottery. Mind you, he has a nice bod so looks good in just about anything. |

I'm sure he looks delicious. He doesn't by any chance have blond hair and blue eyes, does he?

I have a pair of madras patchwork mens pants from like 1974 that I bought at a thrift store in college. I wear them over my bikini at the beach club when I go have lunch. I have no doubt that they are totally rediculous.

I've always ignored these plaid rants since I have no plaid of just about anything (other than the kilt, of course), but now realize my young son has an enormous amount of plaid legwear: pants, shorts, bathing suit, and, of course, kilt.
Hmmm. Time to get him involved in a ska band. |
