Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

[eazye]

I saw New Order at Lalapalooza a few years back. They still sound absolutely amazing. Pretty cool to see a woman my moms age tearing up a synth.

Never knew that heavy cotton sweaters existed until Zissou's recent kop of the cotton Inverallan Allevol collab. I've been trying to buy less wool. Anyone have any leads on something that not £300 and more £150-ish? Maybe Etsy is my best bet?

ha, I was just about to mention Saville lifted that graphic from a physics textbook. Many of his LP covers have appropriated imagery from art or other design history (not necessarily a bad thing).

It still boggles my mind that a graphic from 1979 is still being used to sell fashion.

I recently came across this book of Saville's designs which is pretty cool, has some of the source images (including the pulsar graphics). The book itself is nicely designed.

I dig that he was inspired by Jan Tschichold and Herbert Bayer (did part of my undergrad dissertation on them).

Incidentally I watched Ready Player One the other week and amid the other pop culture references the girl wears an Unknown Pleasures tee. The whole movie is pretty meh.

@RegisDB9, @venividivicibj - Ok folks my final update with USPS picking up UPS. The tracking number finally updated on ups website and the package will arrive on Tuesday. Package was definitely delayed as my other package to the same place (sold 2 pairs of sneakers to stockX) is arriving on Tuesday as well but i shipped it out on Friday (this time handed it to ups guy directly).

I appreciate the fact that both of you fellas knew that usps forwards to ups that definitely made me a bit more at ease. I did finally break through to USPS via call back system which took hours and i waited another 5-10 mins even after the call back. USPS did apologize and say that they do forward the packages. Although its not really a standard practice its more of a mistake for them.

TLDR: if USPS picks up your UPS package they will forward it but your ups package will be delayed.

Peter Hook still tours every few years doing Joy Division albums. He doesn’t sound quite like Ian, but he comes close.

I would pay a lot of money to see a Galaxie 500 revival show

Maybe two years ago Dean and Britta did an early/late show at Old Town School. Early show was current stuff. Late show was Galaxie 500 songs. Not the band of course, but still pretty good.

Yeah I've seen Dean and Britta a few times and they perform galaxie 500 songs. Best time I saw them was at Maxwell's in Hoboken though (rip), as the tiny space was perfect for their set.

I also met this old couple there who were hanging out with weirdly professional recording equipment and bought them a few beers and they mailed me a DVD-R of every bit of galaxie 500 ephemera that they had collected including a whole ton of live recordings of their shows (this included dean and britta shows too) since they had been following every movement of the band and its members for years. I should try to find that again.

 

[Dr Huh?]

Listen to the Joy Divison version of Ceremony, it will blow your mind.

I might be the only one who prefers the New Order (March) version. The lack of clear Ian vocals on the Joy Division versions kind of kill it for me.

He gets a lot of use from his Solito suits.

I find that those with a hefty dose of wine knowledge tend to know their way about a kitchen fairly well, at least that's been my experience. Tend to go hand in hand.

Organizing my knits into my handy new under the bed boxes gave me a chance to take inventory. Pretty heavily skewed toward Scotland.
