Dean & Britta week
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 & 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…
#12 Dean Wareham and his black and white sneakers
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

Dean & Britta week
I was looking for pictures of Britta wearing those knee high boots she seems to wear quite often – most notably in all the promo shots for Back Numbers. But then I came across this sweet picture of Britta wearing some sweet strappy heely sandals (I’m sure this type of shoe has a name but as this series progresses it’s clear that my knowledge of footwear is very limited). They have heels and they have straps – and despite that they look comfortable – and much nicer than knee highs which have never really been my thing!
#11 Britta Phillips (of Dean and Britta) in her strappy heeled sandals.

I’m annoyed that I managed to forget my camera last night and never got my own pic of Mark’s feet so I was relieved to find that someone else was kind enough to snap this shot at a previous Shepherds Bush show (Oh how I’d have loved to see him at the Bush Hall). I suspect these are the very same comfortable looking boots he wore last night…
#10 Mark Linkous and his well worn DMs.

Lou Reed’s sneakers
(originally uploaded by ptufts)
Given Lou Reed’s penchant for mullets, sleeveless T-shirts and ugly tinted glasses I was a bit apprehensive of hunting down his footwear of choice. I’m not sure what I imagined he’d wear but…actually he’s probably always been cool from the waist down.
#9 Lou Reed and his smart red ‘sneakers‘
MP3:Lou Reed’s Hair (3.8MB) – Angel Corpus Christi’s commentary on Lou’s dubious choice of hairstyle from her excellent ‘tribute’ album Louie Louie

I’m a very recent convert to Shannon Wright but the two albums I’ve downloaded have pretty much convinced me that I’ve been missing out on something…and part of that’s a classic rock and roll look – jeans and trainers (OK I’m aware that downloaded albums can’t really convey a look but I needed an excuse to squeeze this into a category!)
Let In the Light was released a couple of weeks back and is well worth a listen.
MP3: St. Pete (4.4Mb)
#7 Shannon Wright and her white trainers

And in celebration of getting older here’s the footwear choice of someone old enough to know better – Kim Gordon was 54 last month and, it seems, often opts for girly footwear…
#7 – Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth in her spangly bass-stomping heels.

Now Stereolab are clearly a very sensible band – I couldn’t find a single picture of any of them not wearing comfortable shoes and looking content and relaxed because of it.
#6 Laetitia Sadier in her loafers and the rest of Stereolab in equally smart footwear

After Bjorks silly shoes I thought I’d pick someone wearing something very sensible…so I turned to Aimee Mann – every picture I’ve ever seen (well the ones on Flickr anyway) has her wearing jeans and flat shoes – it’s what she wears…all the time or so I thought…
#5 Aimee Mann and her big red high-heeled boots

I somehow never expected Bjork to be easily categorised by her footwear – she was barefoot at Coachella (although I couldn’t find a decent pic) and no footwear is definitely the most comfortable way to go (assuming the weather and the floor allow comfort) – but then…
#4 Bjork and her…erm…frilly…platform…things
