However, I guess the reason why I don't always like seeing at some of these celebrity type scenes, is how it might influence their music. When I think about "celebrity" singers and musicians, so many of them, have weak, shallow, poorly written lyrics and songs, (which admittedly they don't always write themselves), but if they're writing from life, and all they do are these silly little Hollywood/celebrity type things, go to glitzy clubs, get fake tans, and bleach their hair, etc... well no wonder those things don't ever lead to the production of profound music.

I can at least say, as an artist, what I soak in from my surroundings, and environment, and experiences, and from the people I'm around, again and again shows through in my art. In the case of KOL, I think their unique background and childhood, and such as, influenced their music in a refreshing and interesting manner. And I just don't want them to start living a cardboard copy celebrity lifestyle, because I can easily see their music getting stale from that.

:

That's EXACTLY the problem. I'm waiting for the new album to see if they are still worth it.

Contrary to some opinions in this thread I'm actually glad for the first time in years seeing that young kids are worrying about the all illusive "authenticity", I thought that need died together with Kurt Cobain way back in the early 90s. And only the old school cared about it now. People trusted KOL to be different, and it's turning out into a bit of a disappointment. At least for me.

And like you said this has nothing to do with the old music, new music debate, I even like SEX ON FIRE, I think it's a good song, something that seems to be a sin in certain circles.

I think people are forgetting that KOL have had "celebrity" friends for years now...way before they were really popular here in the US. IMO, they have been attending these fashion shows to support Lily, not to be part of the celebrity scene.

OBTN, which I also like, was the most different souding cd that they have made and that happened before all this popularity in the US, so I honestly don't worry at all about how this will change their sound.

^^ Exactly! They were photographed drinking with Josh Harnett and out with Rod Stewart's daughter in the UK years ago and no one said a word.

Those photos I found were on Patrick McMullan's website and one is in the Lily thread. Will I still post despite bad watermarks?

Now if that isn't reason enough for me to go to London again this summer. Will this sell out super fast?

Caleb is officially the only man in my life who can get away with wearing that God awful jean jacket. He some how makes it look seriously sexy! *sigh*.

Jared is seriously working those eyes of his.

haha I agree......although it would have looked way sexier if he wouldn't have worn the vest underneath the jacket...I love it when he wears those plain white t-shirts!

 

[tamtam]

Sorry for the double post but I just wanted to say that I love the Billy Idol snarl that Caleb has in the Harley birthday pic!

Edit: can anyone tell me why all my posts don't show up in my post count? I've posted 28 times but my post count only shows 19?

 

[Psylocke]

^ That's because all your posts in the sidewalk café don't add up to your post count.

Jared is one sexy b*tch, I love his style.

 

[tamtam]

ohhh, I see, thanks Psylocke
I know these are dumb questions, sorry, but why don't the posts in the sidewalk cafe show up?
