Maybe he owns a whole closet full ala David Lynch?
-
At least it's a nice shirt.
-
I'd still like to see him. I have something else going on everytime he comes around.
-
Judging from the SXSW and Pitchfork pictures, he only owns one pair of shorts as well.
-
check out his wikipedia picture:

it's this kind of hard-hitting investigatory reporting that keeps me coming back to this forum

I wonder if You Be Betty would approve of his fashion sense? Perhaps he could accessorize with a bowtie.

Per his MySpace page, as recently as April he was spotted in a Fred Flintstone shirt at the Ottobar. Go there for more fashion tips from Baltimore's Finest.

In Baltimore, Music & Moshing on the Fringe (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/22/AR2007072201244.html)
Monday, July 23, 2007; C07
BALTIMORE -- While tens of thousands of folks were munching on funnel cake and enjoying the likes of the Old 97's and Keyshia Cole at the annual Artscape extravaganza on Saturday, there was a whole different kind of bash going down just a few miles away. In a loft on the sixth floor of Charm City's H&H Building, in a setting that would have made Andy Warhol proud, many stars of the city's vibrant underground rock scene played five-plus hours of consistently fun, riveting and out-there music at the second annual Whartscape gathering. It was sweaty, it was loud, it was a bit too crowded -- and it was definitely the best party of the summer.
The ringleader of the evening was Dan Deacon, an oddball man-child who has become one of the most blogged-about acts of 2007, thanks to his fabulous album of hyperactive electronic madness, "Spiderman of the Rings." Just before 1:30 a.m. he set up his collection of samplers and keyboards and trademark "trippy green skull" on a table on the floor as most of the few hundred in attendance packed in around him -- some perched on the stage he neglected to perform on, some standing on rafters or whatever railings were around.
There was less dancing than expected to his revved-up electro-jams; everyone was too busy paying rapt attention to the unlikely local hero who is helping to break the scene. (Note his upcoming appearance at the Virgin Festival.) When nearly everyone in attendance sang along with his set-closing "Wham City," many with arms upraised, it gave off the feel of an art school revival.
Deacon may have been the main attraction, but he was far from the only highlight. Within the realm of art-damaged, non-commercial rock, there was plenty of variety to be found. The best performance of the night came from post-hardcore trio Double Dagger, which played on a makeshift side stage and worked the crowd into a moshing frenzy with its invigorating bass drums and screaming assault. Ponytail's spastic, guitar-shredding rock was also a crowd pleaser, as was the sample-heavy punk party music of the Death Set.
In fact, all nine acts received glowing receptions. People weren't simply waiting around for the headliners; they watched and danced to every band at the BYOB fete. The support was equal to the creativity flourishing on the stages. Baltimore's city slogan may as well be attached to this burgeoning community of bands: Get In on It.

great, just what we need; another gay, sweaty, overweight hippie hipster, who people think are cool because he dares to be rip off conformity.

You will have a hard time topping this. I'm not saying you aren't clever but this is solid A game.

You could pretty much dedicate the whole song to Lewinsky.

He's just as surprised by his sudden popularity as you are annoyed by it I'm sure.
And yeah he does write some catchy songs. And his instrumentals are pretty damn impressive composition-wise.

ive been putting out records of baltimore bands for years (the new flesh, double dagger, wzt hearts etc). It's pretty rad to see someone we all know do well. This thing has been growing for years in baltimore, im surprised it took this long, but stoked. It's insanely rad

I saw wzt hearts open for panda bear last month and was thoroughly impressed. I definitely need to get around to picking up their album.
