Want to talk crazy shit? Death From Above 1979 are using one of my photos as their default on their official myspace!!!!!! Want to talk even crazier shit!?! This is the SECOND time a band has used my photo as their myspace default when they've broken up!!!!!!! Yeah-Raary put up mine on Test Icicle's page back when they made their announcement! Crazy ass shit!!!

And see the rest of the photos I took of DFA 1979 at Lowlands last year on my website here:

PS-it's so weird too because the moment I found out they broke up I was upset for many reasons but the biggest being I was pitching them that photo to use in the album booklet of their next album. Jesse has been very supportive of my photography-ie I get to use his commentary on it whenever I pitch my portfolio.

'Sexy Results' Death From Above 1979 MP3

I am now SO SKIPPING the Hold Steady in Seattle to see MSTRKRFT in Portland on October 21st!!!! And it'll be my first over 21 concert being 21!!!!

Bit of weirdness-the first time I was ever supposed to see Test Icicles was when they supported DFA 1979 in Edinburgh on May 23rd 2005.

Death From Above 1979 DIE

I love typing "DIE" in all caps. I DON'T love that Death From Above 1979 just broke up!!!!!! I hate it! I mean at least we have MSTRKRFT, but. . .
The first time I was to see DFA1979 was in Edinburgh on May 23rd of 2005, but alas my work permit expired that day and I didn't have a new one lined up, so I was nervous about being deported and also no longer having a job, and when you don't have a job, five pounds is just a bit to much to spend for the Motivator to Edinburgh. That would've been my first encounter with Test Icicles too.
I did however see them at the Lowlands Festival in Holland in August and hung around with their crew and them for the day-missing Maximo Park's set.
Jesse would later say of my photos that I took that day-

"I feel confident in saying that those are the weirdest pictures of our band that I have ever seen"

Oh how that made me cackle, especially after they had already posed for the Sex Issue of Vice in their underwear with their trousers hanging on a clothing line behind them

'Blood On Our Hands' Death From Above 1979 MP3

I used to briefly have a love affair with CSS, but don't quite now, but you know that every band deserves a tribute, and this is cool in the vane of 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' (by the band who coincidentally gave Death From Above 1979 their name by suing them)

'Lets Make Love and Listen to Death From Above' CSS MP3

I hunger for the days when the entire album was available to stream at their record label's site.
