This is predictably great. I especially appreciated the anecdote about the Charlatans t-shirt feeling "stolen valor-y". I was afflicted by that feeling a lot as a young person even though I was also in a community where there were very few people to call me on my self-perceived poseurdom. I regret that this caused 19 yo me to avoid talking to members of Archers of Loaf who were at my cousin's wedding. Because at the time I "only" owned one of their albums.... (My little brother chatted them up in the buffet line and said that they were nice.)
