I wonder if this is deliberate or just a coincidence
« on: March 12, 2008, 10:31:50 AM »
Doom/drone band Hyatari have a song called "Freeform for the Disenfranchised".
Judging by their serious nature it would seem unlikely that they would be inspired by TBSOWFMU for a song title.
I don't expect much discussion about this, but I felt compelled to mention it nonetheless.

Never judge a band by its "serious nature" - it doesn't mean they don't appreciate the funny.

I love the cheesy photo - that shot is always done for a band, especially if you want to look like TOWERING GODS OF ROCK!

For example, in the first page of results in an image search for Pearl Jam:



I just wonder if the photographer for this band had to talk them into it, sneak the shot when they weren't looking, or (worst of all options), they REQUESTED it.

I'm thinking they're posed far too deliberately for it to have been a fluke.

I can't believe they were so insensitive as to leave their drum machine out of the band picture. Perhaps Blake is in the band.

Actually, the band is improbably tall... some say that the drummer (aka Hat Boy) is eighteen feet.  The photographer had no choice.

The first picture (taken from above) required a cherry picker.

The CD came out in 2004, now that I look. How long has TBSOWFMU been officially considered home for the disenfranchised?

Also, I knew I should have used a live photo to begin with >_<

I guess most of his height is in his shins.  Think of the potential splints.
