Why is plaid flannel considered cool when it really isn't?

It is mossimo supply company and probably fits a little like ass, but I see it each day when we do the mega fold/zone and it speaks to me. I will borrow Laurens camera and take some pictures with it on during my break maybe. Its either going to be that, or an all day, all O-town thrift-a-thon to find a decent woolrich. (feels so lame having only heard 'ugly organ'...)

Eh, pieces of it were enjoyable. Domestica and Storms of Early Summer certainly take precedence.

Actually, I'm kind of with Chrono, don't listen to Cursive too much anymore. Every once in a while it's fun for nostalgic purposes but there's a ton of other stuff I'd rather hear these days.

I just don't have quite the same angst i had when i was 16-18. The music isn't that fun without it.

I went through a very similar period with weezer, but I don't think cursive could make as ****** of albums as weezer has its last 4 attempts.

who- what do you think, does it have any potential at all?

Haven't you been paying attention? Flannel isn't really cool, bro.

^^first guy looks like a stereotype, second one like a regular dude. Reg dude got the nicer shirt though.

[chronoaug]

Actually, I could see you wearing that up there for sure. It's not quite as "bad" as I had presumed initially. It's a different looking peacoat and as long as it actually fits I think you could definitely beat it up and give it the used look it needs.

Didn't like them, either.

The desaparecidos is the only thing conor oberst has done I find remotely tolerable aside from a handful of songs on digital ash...

Digital Ash was ok but I still find myself listening to I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. Maybe it's just because I like the twang.

I think this looks pretty good. Schott makes something similar, if that validates the idea.

When I wear buffalo plaid outerwear, people often say I look "Canadian." Something to keep in mind.

 

[robbie]

I am not opposed to the idea of looking 'Canadian'.

Some people might consider me half Canadian, or maybe even an Anchor Baby.
