Awkward Family Photos

I know this has nothing to do with music, but I make no apologies for drawing your attention to this wonderful blog which has had me in stitches for ages this evening when I should have been writing here.

Awkward Family Photos is such a brilliantly simple idea, but so hilarious.

There are so many great pictures up there, but my favourites have to be the two in the ‘Awkward Family Holiday Cards’ Archive. I’m sorry if it’s cruel but there’s something so endearingly hilarious about ’30/80′ (those eyes, that sweater!) and as for ‘Tis the Season’, I don’t know where to begin. Is he serious with that sweater – you just know that her matching one says ‘World’s Best Mom’. Oh Munchkin, with these his ‘n hers festive tops you are spoiling us!

It also reminded me of a fantastic photo of my family at Christmas, possibly 1978, when everyone dutifully posed for the camera apart from my Grandad and Uncle who carried on watching the telly regardless. If my dad or brother can oblige with a copy I’ll happily include it here for your delectation and delight. Worth it for the fashion infractions, hideous carpet and sofa alone.

In the meantime, enjoy the horrors of countless American family albums ….

….. and then come back here to read more about Spotify!

    Well, that’s easily the funniest website I’ve seen for a while. Cackling at it has made my stomach hurt! Thanks for the link.

    Glad to be of service Gary! Please tell everyone you know and ensure you link to this article! I’m sure we can think of a few family photos to submit to them as well…..
