Show, don't tell.

This is great. A single photo has saved me from wasting time attempting to suss out whether a band is any good.

The picture:



See? I could have gone off on this band (apparently they are called "Man Man" and based on the evidence here, they suck an unbelievably huge amount of sweaty donkey cock) and their stupid outfits dripping with hipster irony (note the headband). I could have ranted about the presence of two of the worst musical instruments known to man on the same stage (that's the accordion and saxophone for the uninitiated). But without photographic evidence, any attempt to describe this back alley musical abortion would have fallen well short. Add the photo, though, and any written argument is instantly rendered redundant. After all, what’s the point of reading about how much a band sucks when you can assess that from a 3 second glance at a photo?

I don’t even have to listen to them now! Thanks P-Fork! And fuck you for hyping these assholes!
