ira elliot, nada surf’s drummer, definitely looks a bit brainy. doesn’t he? i’ve always had a thing for skinny white guys with black-rimmed glasses. well, not all of them… but i think you catch my drift. due to the apparent nerdiness of mr. elliot, i’m gonna say he’s this week’s hot rocker. and yeah, the drummer part totally helps!
i happened to catch the video for their single “always love” the other night, and i found myself singing it later after only one listen. i was a fan of the band when they first came out, but i lost track of them until now (remember their debut single, “popular”? you will when you watch the video!).
come to think of it, i’ve always thought lead singer matthew caws was kinda hot, too, in that same sort of way. bonus.

I love me some nerdy goodness, too. A big brain is the sexiest thing a guy can possess, next to a big heart. Third, a big …. is nice, too. :)

Totally off topic, but is that picture on your header Robert Smith?

no that isn’t robert smith in that photo. it’s me! i’ll take it as a compliment, i suppose, even if he’s a bit bloated these days (for the most part, i am not).

ira doesn’t quite look like that anymore (even hotter now, yay!) but he still does have those skinny hips and drummer’s arms, oh my. here’s a shot from earlier this month: http://www.flickr.com/photos/caro/126880878/ 43 years old and still smokin’.
and if you love the glasses, matthew just recently started wearing a similar pair again (after a long hiatus which was caused by people accusing him of copying rivers cuomo)… it’s very cute. see it here http://www.flickr.com/photos/antimusicsong/117473796/
you have excellent taste, btw :)

oh also, ira is absolutely fall-off-your-chair HYSTERICAL. for an example, you can see his old tour blog here: http://www.barsuk.com/bands/nadasurf/tourdiary
matthew is insanely adorable, funny, and brainy too (he went to columbia and it shows), my favorite interview of him is here: http://www.faceculture.nl/nadasurf/
hope you enjoy :)
