You like the shoes I (don’t) wear #21 – Paul McCartney

After railing at Sgt. Pepper, and inspired to listen to McCartney’s solo and Wings work it seemed that it was also time to sing the praises of Paul’s footwear of choice.

I could rant as much about how I don’t like Abbey Road, we listened to it last night and if anything it reaffirmed my dislike of it…but there’s not much point – I think I could count the post-Pepper Beatles songs I like on one hand.

You like the shoes I wear #20 – Robert Forster

Posted on September 23rd, 2008 by Andy

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 a particularly interesting blog post…anyway…

Here’s a picture of a sensible chap wearing sensible shoes.

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”

You like the shoes I wear #18 – Dean Wareham

Posted on February 27th, 2008 by Andy


Dean & Britta
Originally 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 ( I don’t think many people can pull off white footwear!)

So this time I’m not as inspired to walk in the shoes of my hero.

To be honest I do have a problem with Dean and his white things – I’m not that keen on seeing him holding a white guitar and as for the white jeans he wears far too often (shudder)…

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, and see pictures of on Flickr.

PJ Harvey is a joy for this series – she wears silly clothes and silly shoes pretty much all the time and a wade through the pictures on Flickr is a treat of short gawdy coloured dresses and silly, gawdy coloured high-heeled shoes and boots….so

#16 PJ Harvey and her pink stilettos…

She was wearing daintier little strappy heels at the Albert Hall but I couldn’t find any decent pics, and she does seem to wear these great clodhoppers more often (as can be seen a little clearer in this rather odd picture).

Having dissed Britta’s knee high boots earlier in the week they were on display at Tuesday’s show so Britta’s footwear makes a second appearance…

Dean’s shoes

Dean & Britta week

I like these shoes – like the photo they were black and white and I fancied hunting a pair down for myself – but maybe getting shoes like Dean Wareham might be taking the fan thing just a little bit far…

I went and checked on the Puma website and they were made of leather so I had to buy some different casual Puma shoes to express my obsessive-(borderline-stalker-)ness
