26 Days of Glossy Nostalgia: A is for …

Boss says it’s time to do some housecleaning of the Wayward Office, which means I’ve got to get rid of eight boxes containing thousands of promo photos dating from circa 2007 back to sometime in the murky early ’90s. Bands and artists of all kinds — local, national, global, extra-terrestrial, living, dead — are preserved, like insects in amber, in this collection. And I’m going to post a photo a day until some good Samaritan who, for whatever reason, wants these damn photos comes and takes them off my hands, free of charge. All yours. Please don’t make me go all the way to Z.

Today is brought to you by the letter A and Chapel Hill, NC, band

Archers of Loaf, who, in the mid-’90s were ahead of their time both musically and in terms of ironic sweaters.
