TBTL with Luke Burbank

King Tut: DEFACED!

For once I am in TOTAL agreement with Andrew. His rant about the new “Pizza Siri” from Domino’s was spot on. When I think about how much I curse at Siri while merely trying to find drive thru hours at Torchy’s Tacos I’m sure ordering pizza from her would be a nightmarish fusillade of swears.

It’s difficult to watch Heart’s These Dreams and not wonder how much cocaine was consumed during the filming. It’s easy to make fun of how dated everything is, but it was quite an accomplishment to contain Nancy Wilson’s hair in the same frame as her face. And let’s not forget that these hairstyles are still de rigueur in Lynnwood and most of south King County.

And where do we start on 4 Non Blondes? What’s Up? I’ll tell you what’s up. Until last night I had never made it past the first 15 seconds of this video due to Linda Perry’s painfully constructed 90s “I don’t care what you think of my whimsical outfit” of unlaced boots, peasant dress, leather top hat, and aviator goggles. I would always turn the dial with a snarl until I suddenly realized it was video gold. Starting with the drummer, who seems woefully miscast as a lesbian. She looks like a single mom who agreed to the gig just so someone else would watch her screaming toddlers crush Cheerios into the carpet for a couple days. “Here, throw this flannel shirt on and people won’t know you like guys.” Then there’s the cornrowed bass guitarist who is butch enough for everyone. She looks like Eminem had a baby with this particular Angry Bird. The guitarist is mystifying. Emily nailed it when she said it looked like Anthony Kiedis won a contest to be in a 4 Non Blondes video. She is the only one I’m scared of. Finally, there’s Linda Perry, who might be the only woman brave enough to attempt a fashion mashup of Jeff Ament and Slash. While I’m taking some shots at her style it should be noted that it takes a lot of courage for anyone named Linda to try to be cool.
