These are the people I measure myself up against and am found wanting. No proper order, completely random. No commentary. Hopefully I’ll be chalking up at least 365 over 2009. Time to take hero worship up to sad, ridiculous new height. Because the kind of asinine tumblr/photoblog structure can be used for good as long as there’s a theme. And this site has always had a lot of looking up at things for inspiration, scrapbook style. And yeah, serious debt to If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger and Waxin and Milkin should be acknowledged too.

Post-everything wrap-up post/ breakdown is here.
