Those pix have Joy Division, New Order and The Cure written all over them.

Cheers

Oh my! You look a lot like my friend "Huggles" from High School. See we would have been bestest friends. 1985-1989 have been playing in my head for the past few weeks so I started to blog about it. Maybe then I can get back to the present :-)

2008-06-21T00:41:00.000-05:00

I used to have that gumby and pokey button. I might even still have it, somewhere. I also used to listen to The Record by Fear all the time. Great album.

Trivia time: I used to play in a band called Appliances-SFB that people called "punk." In our day, we played with Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Violent Femmes, and The Dead Milkmen, among others (do you remember The Suburbs? I believe they were from your neck of the woods.) We even played in Minneapolis a few times. Our first album, SFB, has just been re-issued (on CD for the first time!). If you still enjoy raucous music, you might want to check it out. You can get it from CD Baby here.

Sorry about spamming your comments with shameless self-promotion. I thought maybe you might find it interesting, but I'm probably wrong. Again.

Anyway, fascinating post! But, somehow, not too much of a surprise that you might have had a wild youth.

great post, little monkey.
reminds me of my long-haired cat-suit-wearing box-dancing club kid days gone by.

and yeah, it was difficult. and GREAT.

Every time I read about your past I wish I had known you then - I would have loved you, and you would have walked all over me. Ah, happy days.

2008-06-19T11:40:00.000-05:00

Oh man, I was there...same bands, same buttons, same haircuts (except I dyed mine black.) I don't regret it either. I mean, I feel a little silly sometimes when I think back to how "punk" I thought I was...but really, at hoe I was still listening to pop music right along with the Sex Pistols! Anyway, it was fun & I figure, at least I embraced being a little different if nothing else.

Love the pics, by the way.

Rock on, WM.

I think you and my wife may have been the same person at some point. She also lived as a full-fledged goth for several years. makes for good laughs on my part now.

2008-06-18T11:01:00.000-05:00

Oh, we would have sooooo been BFF's back then. That's about the time I started experimenting with not-found-in-nature haircolor!
I wore a rainbow pride necklace in high school, not really even knowing what it meant. And I've always been straight, too.
Hey if you get a chance, can you weigh in on today's question on my blog? I have a strong feeling you'd have good advice. :)

Amen sister.

Man, those buttons take me back. I would have killed anyone if they dared to touch my "I fought the law" button.

I picture you leaning up against the brick wall of an alley with a cigarette, listening to Sex Pistols on your Walkman.

Very badass.

HEY, any punk that came of age BHT (Before Hot Topix) is true punk by me.

2008-06-17T18:27:00.000-05:00

I always wanted to get into punk rock because I liked the name "Jello Biafra." But that alone is not a good enough reason it would seem, and I went the metal route instead because it turned out that I could grow a magnificent head of hair.

2008-06-17T17:59:00.000-05:00

Dear Whiskey,

I now find you even foxier, as we have similarly misspent our youths. One day, let's take a walk to Zipperhead and scream "Anarchy" when someone plays a Beach Boys song on the jukebox.

Sincerely,

Pistols at Dawn

Outstanding! First Oscar Meyer summer sausage on white bread, now some serious hair.

(I'm so glad I kept seeing your name over at Gorillabuns).

I still listen to The Smiths, by the way. My taste in music is stuck in 1988 alternative.

Ah, the super-short-short-shorn sides thing. I vaguely remember those being in vogue. Never did it, though I sort of admired those who did. I give Waffle mega-points for volume.

Nice, my dear.

I found an old jean jacket of mine and it was covered in George Michael buttons...obviously, you were way more badass than me.

Whiskey,

A .38 Special girl is a hard-drinkin', Marlboro-smokin' hottie. Often socially retarded with a fondness for primates, and has big hands. See also: questionable punc;tua!ion-n.

Man, what I wouldn't do to go back to those days sometimes.
