Or are they just completely uncool? I am so out of touch. I have been thinking of getting a pair for a while now, tho I won't be shaving my head.

I remember buying a black beret from the same shop to complete my Echo & The Bunnymen look. Went well with my Doc's, stovepipes and my dad's old black trench coat.

The internet, though, has opened up a whole world of possibilities for tracking down that record that you just have to have! Just take a look at my credit card statement! I'll bet your Radiohead t-shirt is still being worn to bed! And that ashtray would be 1/2 full of clove cigarette butts! Yeah, it is sad, Silvio’s was great.

Silvios had the best badge/patch/sticker/postcard/t-shirt/flag/poster collection. You could cover the canvas army bag that you just bought from Crazy Ricks with all your favourite bands within minutes of purchase! I still have my Stone Roses postcard somewhere, but during a moment of sentimental weakness I gave my Pablo Honey T-Shirt to a girlfriend when she travelled overseas a decade ago. I'm not sure what happened to my Smiths poster - I'd like to think it's hanging around somewhere on someone's bedroom wall, watching over a messily made bed, a 1/2 full ash tray and a well worn volume of earnestly written (but still quite bad) poetry.
