Wow supposed Tarik looks older than Laith
To me at least.
Huh
Tehee, I like that its 'Harry'
I like to think it might have gone like:
Their dad named Faris, Tarik, and Laith
becuase they are very traditional names, I think, from where he comes from.
And then their mom named the youngest |

Thats near disappointing!
I would feel bad if I was a parent in that situation.
"Well, these are my sons; Faris, Liath, Tarik and...Harold."

But its almost perfect because its so common and unexciting!
I posted the first chapter of Overture.

Posts: 21448 | January 18th, 2009 at 09:31pm So, speaking of Horror fan-fictions, I found this really old Kyle/Faris story I wrote sometime last year when I really wanted someone to write one.
I'm not sure if I should post it on Mibba. =/ |

Posts: 21448 | January 18th, 2009 at 09:44pm You don't think it'd be a bit odd pairing? xD Kyle and Faris?
Although, I do recall in the tour diary from the NME tour, that there were a few shots of Faris and Kyle talking.
And then when they say goodbye Faris hugs Kyle!
He initiates it.
I found this picture, you've probably all seen it before, but it made me laugh so hard. xD
Poor Faris getting molested. |

Posts: 21448 | January 19th, 2009 at 09:12am Bah, I posted it, but I'm not sure how long it's going to actually be there. xD
I've got a problem with consistency.
My friend, Nolan, has a brown hat just like that guy right in under Faris' ass.
Actually, he went on a trip around Europe, so you never know. xD
That could be him.

he's better known as the horrors' front man but, when he's not making music, faris badwan can often be found drawing. (by krissi murison. photographed by linda brownlee)
in the belly of a monstrous north london estate, with animal skulls on the walls, a power drill in the middle of the floor and one solitary red lightbulb giving off a hellish kind of glow, faris badwan's bedroom is the kind of place that girls in horror movies get lured into just before coming face-to-face with the psychopathic maniac. thankfully, there are some explanations: the bone collection (which includes monkey and sheep heads) was a gift from a friend. and the drill?
"i've been using it on my guitar all day. i rest the side of it on the strings, then loop the noise and distort it," he says pushing a small tower of vinyl to one side to offer me a seat on a record box, while he perches his six-and-a-half-inch frame awkwardly on the only other available surface: a window ledge. but despite being mere weeks away from finishing the horrors' second record-demoed earlier this year with renowned video director chris cunningham and subsequently produced in bristol with portishead mastermind geoff barrow- it's not badwan's music we're here to discuss. it's the other thing he gets up to, closeted away in this room (and anywhere else he thinks no one is looking, for that matter): drawing.
badwan has always drawn, since he was three years old and became obsessed with sketching "muscular figures, like knights and cowboys," right through to a stint at london's prestigious central st. martins art school. lately, though, the sharp neat marks with which he has compulsively filled countless leather-bound sketchbooks over the last 20-plus years are being seen by more than just his self-critical eyes. first there was the spidery, gothic inlay he did for the horrors' debut album, strange house. this was followed by an exhibition in east london late last year, which lead to commissions to design record sleeves for releases both modest (the first two singles by his mates hatcham social) and major (the tenth album from brit stalwarts the charlatans u.k.) not that badwan is particularly warming to the attention his work has been getting.
"i hate all the singles that i've done and the charlatans stuff. it's one thing to draw something, but when it's someone else's artwork, you never choose how it's presented. "it's just too plain," he says, waving dismissively at a hatcham social sleeve with, it has to be said, a particularly uninspiring typeface emblazoned on the front. "i don't think i'll be doing that again." this attitude is unsurprising, really, coming from a man who's so obsessed with aesthetics that he splatters his audience with black paint at live shows and has recently started a lo-fi psych-garage night at london's bungalow 8 simply because he thought it would look "amazing in photos."
flicking through page after page of his dense, personal imagery, badwan explains that as a self-confessed sociophobe, his pencil drawings can also be a way of avoiding conversation: "drawing when sitting next to someone is always a good way of just not saying much." it's during these silent stints that he obsessively reworks his pages until every last speck of space is filled with unidentified figures reoccurring objects (skulls, crosses, dinosaurs) and non-narrative words (shopping lists, potential song lyrics, "christmas presents i may or may not be buying for my brother..." ). the results are potently overpowering.
our herbal teas drained, badwan chooses to end our conversation by showing me some black flag artwork by his favorite artist, raymond pettibond, which is currently pinned to the wall between various voodoo-like trinkets. "i really like him, but his stuff is brush pen and it's nothing like mine," he quickly clarifies. "i don't want to be influenced by other things. i just want to fill an entire book with marks." hopefully for us, he'll publish that book soon. hopefully for badwan, he'll like it more than the rest of the stuff he's done." |

Posts: 21448 | January 20th, 2009 at 10:31am Maybe he dislikes them, and hasn't quite figured out if he wants to spend his money or not.
Or, maybe he just simply already had a gift for all except one. |

As long as we don't have more brother confusion, I'll be fine. |

I wasn't even completely not paying attention!
I was studying the social pattern of the Faris. |
