The Bravery's Ring Of Hair

Hey, the Bravery did something blogworthy!

Via MySpace:

For those of you interested in the ongoing Ring of Hair saga, here is a picture of the previous assistant engineer, Carem, who sported the ring of hair as a result of a $1,000 bet from producer Brendan O'Brien. Conditions of the bet included that Carem keep the ring of hair for a full week, and that on Saturday he go to the mall with it. He was offered an additional $500 to shave his eyebrows, but he declined.

$1,000? How much money would it take for you to do that?

boby, i think you have an anger management problem. perhaps you should consider prozac or something.

Big deal. I saw Matthew Sweet pay his drummer to do that like ten years ago.

Well yeah, I'd do it for $1000! And if someone at the mall asked me why my hair was like that, I'd say "Cuz I'm getting $1000 for doing it."

Yeah, my buddy did that a while back. It was basically amazing. He kept it for a few days, (putting a bandana on makes look like just another beard.) The price? Nothing. Just for kicks. This just proves that the Killers are making one of the best albums in the past 2000 years.

I'm already doing that.

But it links to several more rings of hair that run down my back to my ass.

I'm not sure. However, I can tell you that I would pay 10x that amount to never hear the Bravery again.

I'd love to see Kyp Malone from TV on the Radio try that. It would be like a sideways Mohican.
