“Oh fuck, whoops,” he said.

“Should I go home and change?”

Tom Tilley said he’s ’embarrassed’ and ‘saddened’ after he accidentally deciding to wear a Client Liaison T-Shirt to work today.

The polite, humble barrel-chested Mudgeenese man slaps the bass in the neo-nineties pop duet’s live band – which some in the Triple J office have interpreted as being ‘quite a narcissistic choice to wear today’.

Because, Tilley says, today is #ausmusictshirtday.

“Today is a day for people to show their support for some of their favourite homegrown bands,” Tom told The Advocate via mobile phone this afternoon.

“I wanted to wear my Jebbediah t-shirt but I guess I just got disgtracted. I forgot what day today was. So here I am, on Triple J’s second most sacred day, wearing a band t-shirt,”

“Of a band that I’m in. Fucking whoopsie daisy.”

Taking time out of his busy morning of explaining how to make a bucket bong to Lewis Hobba, ABC stalwart Barry Cassidy said that he saw Mr Tilley roll in through the reception this morning in a Client Liaison t-shirt – which caused the wrinkles in his forehead to deepen even more.

Cassidy told our reporter that while he expected Tom to be wearing something from left-field, something a GUM or Nick Allbrook tee, he never expected to wear a Client Liaison one.

“I’ve seen some things in my time,” said Cassowary Cassidy.

“But this is up there. Anyway, I’m going to lie down. I’ve been on my feet since 4am, I’m toast boys.”

More to come.
