This was my DJ set Tuesday night at the aptly named Harlot on Minna in SF.
Aptly named because of my sense of fashion on the night.
I woke to the joker’s face, not in a mirror, but a smudgy likeness grinning back at me from my mattress.
And of course, the

I'm really really scared.
You've definitely got the manic grin perfected.
What a sight to see just before I go to bed myself.
Nice set list too!
Haha.
Oh Shawn, you are insane, I love it.
=]
And yep, quite the setlist too.
Ah, the Yankee video, finally up for the world to see
=D
the photographic evidence i asked for!
you are too kind
I've been saying you'd look awesome as the joker, and so you do!
You are great.
End of story.
Hahahahah, that is most awesome.
Amazing, my favorite one has to be the picture with the poster in the background that says, "I never knew how proud I could be." I just find it hilarious, and indeed we all are proud of you Shawn.
awesome awesome set list, great costume/ makeup.. And you're gross for not washing that off haha! But the wig(?) was a good touch. I wish I had been there...
Normally I’d agree with Jon that you have a handsome smile (because normally you do). But your Joker-smile is really rather scary. You look really awesome as the Joker, by the way. I’ve seen quite a few attempting the look and no one has really been able to pull it of. Maybe they simply lack the manic grin qualities? In any case; congrats on the costume. However, I wonder, what was up with the red-ish hair? Though I’m far from being a Batman devotee I think I remember the Joker’s hair being green?
Anyway, agreeing with preceding comments, the setlist was very nice! And I hope you had fun.
Interesting set, even more interesting costume... looks like you had fun!
Many, many props for riding BART in costume. I'm surprised we didn't wake to headlines along the lines of "Costumed Maniac Thwarted in Attempt to Hijack High-Speed Transit; Popular Graphic Novel to Blame."
Well if he was going for the movie look, his hair would have to be blonde.
In this case, the hair pushes the look a LITTLE bit into the Ronald McDonald field (gone insane, possibly. Out to murder children, possibly). Still. Pulled off VERY well. I want more pictures, haha.
...apparently some of you guys haven't seen the dark knight, or you have temporarily forgotten the scene in which he disguises himself as a nurse and dons a red wig.
ODB!
You looked that awesome the night before my 18th birthday... What a Present!
Loveit!
Okay. I will admit. You're scary as hell sometimes. This is one of those times.
Have fun in Australia, Shawn!

YOU WENT ON BART LIKE THAT!?
Oh Lord.
I'm sure the riders have seen crazier things, actually.
I once witnessed a lovely young lady take her shoe off and start smelling her foot and picking the toe jam out from between her toes.
I'm sorry for telling you that, I just realized how disgusting that story truly is.
Blonde with a hint of green though? Or perhaps it was just my imagination that in Dark Knight the Joker’s hair had a subtle tone of green even though it was blonde? Not that it matters. (And I really shouldn’t talk about the movie, huh? Since clearly my memory does not serve me right.)
--
And ah, that's true, I had forgotten entirely about that scene where he dressed up as a nurse. My bad.
Dang Shawn, you always impress me with knowing the "old school" tunes! First Oingo Boingo and now Dramarama? Brings me back to my college DJ dayz...YUMM!
You were born in the wrong era, you "charming man"
;0)
new ways to scare people on public transportation, AWESOME. haha, no but seriously.
That is too amazing.
You look creepy but fantastic all at the same time.
And I must say, the song choice for the playlist is pure GENIUS.
and I find it funny how some of these comments say how you need green or blonde hair. Obviously, they don't understand that you're the joker as the nurse, like you've said about a million times.
I think not everyone understands the way question marks generally work.
You rock the Joker face. And there's nothing classier than cleaning your face with your dearest pillow cover. You rule, you dork. -grins-
Coolness with the setlist.
Oh, no, I was not talking about whether or not Shawn should have had blonde or blonde/greenish hair. I was straying from the topic and trying to recall what the Joker’s hair color looked like in the movie. And before that I only asked because, as everyone surely knows by now, my memory is really not the best so the red hair confused me. (In addition I had no idea he in fact already had explained it.) This is really all rather unimportant however. The focus should be on Shawn’s ace setlist. So I apologise for averting the attention from that.
one word: epic.
I concour with what Amber said, that picture is great with the posted behind it.
UR Getn marryd?!
lyk3 noh!
Finally, photographic evidence that I'm not crazy/biased (as Jon implied during that Rosstar interview when I imed the story of you scaring the heck out of me so many years ago) and that you really do have a creepy smile. Kudos for having Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" on there, because I had that song on repeat today while I hauled my tired body to work after going to the show last night (I was pleasantly surprised by both Jon and Dylan the Turtle). I'm glad you ended up not naming your guitar Telegraph, because I think that's what I'm going to name my acoustic (and then paste pictures of various landmarks along Telegraph in both Oakland and Berkeley to the back of the body because I'm an arts and crafts addict).
-Strange in SF
P.S. Someone I was talking to last night brought up a question that's now stuck in my mind. Do you own a Bedazzler?
Oh and...
"UR Getn marryd?!
lyk3 noh!"
What the hell? Some people are weird...
I hate to say it, but the Kinks are my favorite band. Nice props to them though. You guys are my second.
-pip-
About your poor matress, back in the day of my purple hair, my boyfriends mum wasn't happy when she found a purple stain on her new couch, the size of my head..
it was on Wednesday actually, but it's not like we could keep anything straight that night anyway haha
PLEASE say that title is a Smiths reference, and I am NOT over-music-medicated, and this really IS the happiest and most unexpected realization of my day thus far -- Shawn Harris of crazy punk band The Matches... likes literate English alt rock??
shut me up if I'm wrong.
Tuesday Gloria, indeed?
-V
RIGHT. THE RED WIG.
I didn't even think about that.
-first anon.
well not first, but the one who made the comment about the yellow hair.
"You can call me Harris, and then lift up your skirt."
the east coast is deprived of these quirks. come on Shawn, do something crazy for us in new york!!!
Hahaha...you went on BART like that?! You're so awesome! Did ya freak people out?
Haha, I'm surprised you remember much about that night. Everyone's memories are a little blurred. Nice pics, I got some pretty interesting ones myself.
baby, i got your money, don't you worry
Ohhhh man you're a silly billy!
You're lucky your skin didn't flip its shit from all that makeup :)
Confirmation to my theory that no good playlist is complete without a little David Bowie! My friends and I actually made a short stop motion film in 8th grade to Rebel Rebel... that's how said theory was born.
Anyway, awesome playlist. Very shake-you-ass-till-you-pass-out in an unexpected, altrock way... interesting.
old dirty bastard was definitely a hit, and the only song i really remember haha
the best part of the night though, that i barely remember:
Me: what would you like to drink?
Jon: Vodka Club
Me: Vodka Tonic?
Jon: Vodka club
Me: ok...vodka club?
Jon: yes. thanks
(a few minutes later)
Me: here's your whiskey sour
Brilliance!
Are you really engaged, Shawn?
I didn't think the Joker was ready for love, let alone the dancefloor lulzz.

everyone be honest. shouldn't shawn totally date this girl if they both are single?
1. both live in bay area
2. both talk with their hands
3. both are very tall
4. she is a model and shawn probably should be.
5. she is french and speaks french fluently, and shawn loves french movies.
voila! match made in heaven.
I'm joking.
Sort of.
...and I thought Heath Ledger was hot playing the Joker. (Heath Ledger was not attractive in any other movie I've seen... so I'm no fan of his looks)
Aaaaaaand I love your list.
Biffy Clyro AND Buzzcocks? So much fun in one list.
The nurse costumed Joker was my favorite scene... other than the pencil magic trick scene.
i love you
this made me uncomfortable on so many different levels. he is a scary looking man as it is, he doesnt need clown makeup
Sherry Bridges.. again. You certainly are one for attention, aren't you?
Acronym for something else, hmm?
V-
Indeed, came from the hacked up vocal chords of the man himself.
Lol @ Danielle the Lush's anecdote. Everyone knows that vodka is best paired with soda, though. Unless, you're slipping some into a Shirley Temple (which is how good girls drink liquor on the sly).
-Strange in SF
wonderful.
hahaha.
you look stunning, my friend.
I love how it looks like a combonation of both Joker a la Jack Nickelson and Health ledger. Combined on one face.
niiiice.
So, you're doing guest vocals on Forgive Durden's new album? Cool, cool. Figures, since you did the art.
So Shawn, what information can you give us about Razia's Shadow? Hmm?
I really hope him working with a Fueled by Ramen band doesn't bring all their fangirls along with it. Sadly, we already have a few of those , and we do not need anymore. I guess Forgive Durden at least aren't a huge FBR band or anything. I mean, I want the Matches to get as many fans and the recognition they deserve, but I want them to get it the right way. And not people that just think they're attractive.
Ah yes, the Joker ;D
Very good choice, sir!
Not many people can carry that off while still looking gorgeous, haha~
That is one very nice set list as well.
(:
xoxo,
Jaclyn~
P.S. Have fun playing at the Recher, the Baltimore crowd, from what I know, loves The Matches...and we all think you are absolutely sexy. Anyway, I shall see you there, I am shoving my way up to the front!
That's a great set. I'm sad I missed it. Sucks being a SoCal kid at times.
I never see anyone dressed like the joker on bart
alas, my life is boring
And this is why I'm in love with you! I'm not scared at all, I'm your match Mr. Harris
last photo....left hand ring finger, would that be a silver band? anything you want to share with us Shawn?
Mr. Yrrehs
i love playing detective with you.
Uh oh. Looks like The Joker has a Harley Quinn, Jenny. Dun dun dunnnnnn.
On a side note: Berlin. Hot damn. Very shimmy worthy song.
it's called make up remover, bud. you need a girlfriend bad. =(
Harley Quinn equates to...
fucking hot! i love shawn =)
As much as I like you, I must say, you look like a demonic Ronald Mcdonald...hehee You are unique if nothing else. Please dont change.
That band on his finger... it's made from a fork, believe it or not. I work with things like that myself, and it's nicely crafted. I'd like to make him a few pieces myself.
Oh, and nice playlist, Sir. You do know how to reflect good music taste on your lust for the female genitalia. Pardon me for saying that, but the songs are filled with lust and women on the brain, well done. I guess you're one smitten kitten.
