Excited to see jeanines when they tour here this summer, a band with great tunes and even better dress sense:

(was reminded of this by spotting a poster for their upcoming tour while I was in the pub yesterday with a group of people, one of whom was wearing...)

Out of my respect for his love of this type of top, I even rewound the video to grab that image.
