Damn. When I was doing my NYT seaches last night I managed […]

I just choaked with joyous surprise. Check out South lookin’ pretty damn hot in the American April 2002 Esquire magazine! There’s a whole portfolio devoted to Mod and South represent. They’re wearing skinny pants and blazers and it’s almost too much. Brilliant. Big ups to Shannon from the South bb.

Restoring the love of The Strokes, I headed over to the fabulous TheStrokes.org and followed a link to these great pictures from a February show in Germany. While I was there I found other great shots of The White Stripes, BRMC and INC.
