Of the bands who were part of the original New York punk scene, the Dead Boys were probably the closest to what most people these days would imagine a punk band would look like. There's a wild stage presence here, slurred and shouted vocals rather than conventional singing, a cheaper, stripped-down version of the "rocker" clothing look, and the music sound itself is far more akin to what later punk rock would sound like than most of their scene contemporaries.

It's also interesting to see what punk looked like before things like piercings and tattoos and other forms of body modification became more common. Even their hair reflects the rocker look before colored hair, spikes and mohawks took over.

I kind of suspect that there were other bands in that New York scene that had a performance and look that was similar to the Dead Boys, but the style of music was probably considered too risky (read: investors weren't sure it would sell) at the time. The Dead Boys were sort of an outlier, in that they were fairly successful all things considered: they released two full-length LPs on Sire Records. Sire Records was originally founded as an independent label, although in 1977 they signed a distribution deal with Warner Brothers. They would eventually become a subsidiary of WB in 1980.

(And I'll be honest, I'm not at present entirely certain how much of their portrayal in the movie CBGB is accurate. But it's a good movie, you should watch it, Alan Rickman plays Hilly Kristal, owner of CBGB, in his final film role. Most of the movie is about him and his role in the early New York punk scene, and the band they focus on the most is The Dead Boys, since Kristal apparently was a heavy financial investor in their career. That kid from the HP movies plays Cheetah Chrome.)

I added a water bottle pocket to my pants!

This came up due to the fact I use Lyft bikes to get around and they don't have bottle holders, so I placed this pocket here because this part of my leg remains relatively upright while pedaling.

Heres the initial proof of concept

But it looked rather silly especially when not in use. It also flopped around a lot when a full drink is being held and I was walking around so I started to look into ways to collapse it and secure it when in use.

First attempt came up with this:
