Last week I saw Anna Calvi and Throwing Muses on consecutive nights at The Shepherds Bush Empire. Anna and Kristin made a noticeably different choice of footwear – one chose comfortable, sensible shoes and looked cool, one chose rather ridiculous shoes and looked awkward and quite, quite silly… Neither picture is from the London show [...]
Dean & Britta Play Galaxie 500 Songsoriginally uploaded by patricia del sole The rather cool, well loved boots that Britta’s touring with at the moment! This photo was taken at their recent show in Brazil most of which can be seen on YouTube
Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500 – 8originally uploaded by Araakii Long, long time since I gave this series a kick but Dean’s shiny shoes with yellow laces as worn at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle last weekend deserve getting shown off – particularly as this lovely picture by Araakii shows them off so beautifully.
Pastels/Tenniscoatsoriginally uploaded by grange85 …or more correctly “You like the shoes I don’t wear #2″ Saya from lovely Tokyo pop band Tenniscoats performing bare-footed with The Pastels at the Bush Hall last night. #23 – Saya of Tenniscoats in her birthday shoes.
Damon & Naomi @ Cafe OTOoriginally uploaded by grange85 I’m beginning to think that this series could be saved for Naomi and her footwear – this is her 3rd or 4th appearance (although sadly the pic of her in her wellies has gone astray from flickr). #22 Naomi Yang – Another lovely pair of boots.
Abbey Road LP coveroriginally uploaded by Spattz After railing at Sgt.

I could rant as much about how I don’t like Abbey Road, we listened to it last [...]
The reason that this series died a death was that, for the most part, the music I listen to is of a certain type and that certain type of music is played by sensible people wearing sensible footwear. Let’s face it “here’s a picture of a sensible chap wearing sensible shoes” doesn’t really make for [...]
As this series has been sadly neglected here is a compilation of all the shoe bits from the insanely funny It Crowd episode “Calamity Jen”
Dean & BrittaOriginally uploaded by modernmod The last time Dean appeared in this series I rushed off to the Puma website to try and buy his shoes (now that’s the dedication of a fan). I do rather like these white shoes but they are white and I don’t think I can pull that off ( [...]
Naomioriginally uploaded by grange85 This is Naomi’s second appearance in this series, and second time wearing boots although these cool buckle-y boots are a little cooler than last times wellies… The photo was taken at Sunday’s very wonderful Damon & Naomi show in London which you can read about on A Head Full of Wishes, [...]
