Music News of the World
October 7, 1995
Fall is here, and with it all those confusing fashion dictates. What to wear,
how to do your 'do... we here at Addicted To Noise are a bit overwhelmed.
Seeking solace and a little advice, coiffure-wise, we sent Jaan "Never Met A
Styling Product I Didn't Like" Uhelszki to garner some hair-wisdom from Soul
Asylum's nattily dreded Dave Pirner, and Timotei spokesmodel (and occasional
silverchair frontman) Daniel Johns. All aspiring rastas, listen up:
Addicted To Noise: Let's have some style tips. You've had your hair like this
for four years?
Dave Pirner: Sure.
ATN: Do you do anything special to it?
Pirner: No ma'am. Absolutely nothing. I guess I used to wash it with Ivory
soap. Now I just use whatever's around. It's kind of gross, though. I don't
really reccommend it. It's just low maintenance, and it stays out of my eyes.
That's what I like about it.
ATN: So you don't see an end to this style?
Pirner: There's an end to everything.
Moving on to Johns...
ATN: People must tell you that you look like Kurt Cobain... because of the
hair.
Daniel Johns: Yeah, the hair, but I'm getting dredlocks, so it doesn't
matter.
ATN: How often do you wash your hair?
Johns: I just can't be bothered washing it, because then your hair smells
like flowers and that stinks.
ATN: But I love that smell! So, really, how often do you wash your hair?
Johns: Once a fortnight.
A fortnight? ATN is totally grossed out. That translates to every two weeks,
for us stateside. In an attempt to end on a more, uh, hygenic note, ATN is
pleased to report that Prince Valiant-lookalike Joey Ramone uses Aveeda
shampoo with Maddes root for warm red tones and cherry bark conditioner, and
does so quite frequently.
