Plaid Conspiracy Theory

So I'm pretty sure my theory (Plaid and Indie Rock Conspiracy Theory to debut in the spring zine) is more than accurate. Case in point: Fleet foxes and Murder City Devils. If you watch the clips on the previous posts from live performances both bands have at least one person wearing a plaid shirt.

And all the below indie bands sporting one or more plaids.

Barock-n-roll Baby!

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye! Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye!

Steampunk began as a subgenre of science fiction but has since blossomed into a full "gonzo-historical" artistic movement, "often dystopian, sometimes with noir and pulp fiction themes." It "denotes works set in an era or world where steam power", or spring driven technology "is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells." The visual art seems to possess "a presumption of functionality".

Dude MCD reunion tour!!!

I can't believe Murder City Devils are touring again in LA the 17th and 18th of Feb. I was 19 last time I saw them!

"Recreate this jumper in a size that fits you and wear it as much as possible. Try to use a very similar fabric, it should at least be pink. You will want to try very hard to make a precise enlargement, while not getting discouraged by mistakes, or daunted by lack of sewing skills."

Here were some of the photo's of people who completed the assignment:
