KICK OUT THE JAMS MOTHERFUCKERS
(I thought the MC5 was appropriate Independance Day no?)
I go through obsessive phases a lot. When I was younger I was in LOVE with Elvis. I used to go around singing Hound Dog (or so my very amused mother tells me). I pretty much thought I was Elvis. I actually remember asking my mom if she would let me wear a jumpsuit and glue little sequins on it. Then I wanted to be MK and Ashley (this was during their olsen and olsen detective agency era)......(past a couple embarrasing obsessions)..... Up til last year when I went through my Anti-everything phase. It all started when I read Please Kill Me(which is probably one of the best books ever) and started hating everything that made me look normal. I didn't listen to the radio or watch t.v. I only listened to 60s 70s NY punk with the exception of The Stooges and MC5 and a little bit of U.K.(Vibrators, U.K. Subs, Clash, etc), thus starting my Iggy Pop obsession. I thought he was God. I could probably write a book about him with everything I know. I still think he is the best performer I've ever seen (and I know from first hand experience, I saw the Stooges last year, another rant in itself including crowdsurfing, almost breaking my nose). I really wanted to be him. I wanted to be a Iggy Pop Joey Ramone Stiv Bators Wendy O Williams all wrapped up into one. My new obsession is Andrew Vanwyngarden and MGMT. I would totally wear anything he owns. It's kinda my new drive to wear anything I think he would, attracting strange looks from ultra-conservatives. But someone please tell me he does not look amazing?
Sorry for the novel I just wrote! Enjoy 4th of July!

Happy Independence day!
xx.
I loved reading that! I'm actually very similar with my phases...I usually become mildly interested, then slightly obsessed, then think of nothing else for a while, and then i move on (while still maintaining a solid love)...
MGMT ROCK!
I love their style. so miss matched but it still works perfectly!
Great rocking pics!
