Heroes Of Style: Jarvis Cocker

I'm a huge Pulp fan, and Jarvis Cocker is one of my favorite front men of all time.
He is also one of the best dressed.
I think a good place to start with Pulp is "Different Class", though some Pulp purists will tell you to go even further back to "His And Hers" or "Masters Of The Universe".
But my favorite Pulp album is "This Is Hardcore", which, I feel, is a perfect example of a musical response to success, fame, drugs, and ridicule. The layout is also flawless.

So what's even better than old Jarvis Cocker?

New Jarvis Cocker.

He has somehow managed to dress even better than he used to, and his solo record, "Jarvis" is incredible.

Check out "Don't Let Him Waste Your Time"

Heroes of Style: Wayne Coyne

Not only are The Flaming Lips an amazing band and super nice guys (we had the privilege of playing before them at Voodoo Fest), but Wayne Coyne knows how to fucking DRESS.

He's the only person I know that can rock a white suit, and the dude sets up his own stage.

While having a discussion about Duran Duran, sidestage before the Lips went on, I witnessed Wayne inflate no less than NINE large balloons, test the confetti blowers, and make sure the mics had the proper amount of day-glow gaff tape. Did I mention that, while preparing the stage, the guy's wardrobe was FIERCE?

I just got a copy of their movie, Christmas On Mars, which I have been excited to watch ever since I saw their biopic.

Rock on, Wayne. I only hope my hair is as silver as yours one day and I too can grow a beard.
