“I mentioned this picture of mine in the podcast and, oh man, it is so completely 2004, from the MySpace ‘shooting your own picture in the mirror’ thing to the aggressively swooped bangs. But, hey, if you can’t own your past you’re doomed to repeat it.

I may not have the bangs or that awful jacket now; I’ve grown out of them. And I’ve grown out of the whiny, self-indulgent ‘no one understand me’ self-seriousness that came with. Which makes sense, as I’ve grown from the whiny self-indulgence of late-era Smashing Pumpkins to stuff like Los Campesinos! latest record, Hello Sadness, which turns those emotions on their head by both paying homage to them and taking the piss out of them, a fantastic deconstruction of why we have pictures like this, and why we stop taking them after awhile.” - Chris Bosman (@racecarbrown)
