I agree with robbie. All singers should stand behind a black monolith so no one can see what they look like. In fact live performances should be banned, the music should stand for itself...especially if the performer is fat...or if they have one eye. One eyed people should let the music speak for itself.

I agree with robby. anyone who writes good songs, puts on fun and energetic shows, and doesn't seem to care that he is a chubby bald guy is an idiot. Stupid fat goddamn hipster.

No Robby, I saw you show off your ugly bald head and pot belly at Madonna last week. No shame for you.....

Because he feels it. Run back to your Corinne Bailey Rae, Robby, run.

Okay fine, the fat hipster has a name, harringtom or something. Super for him! I'll even concede he is energetic and an average songwriter. But, having said that, is it really neccessary for him to jump around like an idiot on stage? Why not let the "great music" and great songwriting do all the entertaining? Why must he use these childish gimmicks to help sell their shows? And believe me, Im not showing off my ugly bald head, and pot belly to everyone in mccaren park, so thanks for thoughts, but I am the one looking quite good in the end.

Robby, have you ever seen Harrington perform? Not only is he unbelievably energetic but he's a wonderful songwriter as well. Calling someone a "fat hipster" and a "moron" really just makes *you* look bad in the end.

screw you robby... i'm no hipster, but i know that les savy fav puts on a damn good show every time... if tim harrington were just some "fat hipster" screwing around without the great music, they wouldn't be filling up McCarren pool

Did anyone else notice the parent of the year candidate in the background of this ridiculous picture? Nice lady, those muffs are really helping... Second question: can someone please explain what, if anything, is entertaining to see a fat hipster run around like a moron? I looked on flickr, its the only time I have ever seen a bunch of hipsters smile before (while watching said "entertainmen")....this is what they enjoy????
