I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but here, I feel like I’m Reaper Records to scoop up all the new merch and music. If you haven’t picked up Secrets Of The World yet, … well, … you’re no friend of mine.
Shirts From Lars.
Seller kingbundy is once again posting up a bunch of auctions for Lars from Rancid, and I am kind of shocked to see that so many of them are not devoid of sleeves and lower halves; since as I remember it those always seemed to be a good chunk of his wardrobe, I figured this would be a good opportunity at acquiring some pre-cut band shirts to wear at the gym…
(Is it me or does everyone on eBay have the above floor all of a sudden?)
…fortunately, in the end Lars doesn’t let me down, as this AF shirt is exactly what I was hoping to see. No sleeves, no lower half, NOT EVEN A COLLAR. Whether you’re a punker or a gym rat, you’re totally set.
High School Shop Class and DIY Tees
When I was in high school, the cool thing to do in shop class was to print your own tees. Duh. Rather than make a bird house or a wack lantern, dudes were pumping out tshirts. One of my friends was gifted. He had the design touch and would go all out. His best design was a 4 sided Mighty Mighty Bosstones longsleeve. It was beautiful. It had the bulldog with the band logo on the front, a dude parachuting on the back and “Mighty Mighty” down each sleeve. White shirt with red ink. It was seriously awesome. That’s a shirt Dicky and Co should think about making …
meneguar had a friend who must have been in a similar situation with a similar gift. She came up with this Braid shirt. That’s a quality looking shirt, no doubt. I support shirts like this over bootlegs anyday. You know she printed up 4, maybe 5 and gave them to her friends who probably ALL love Braid. That’s a fan, you know? I can dig it.
Positive Outlook.
I really could never hang with the back print on this Youth of Today tee. It was the design that was probably easiest to get your hands when I got into the core, since it was the one Rev sold, but the thing of it was, even when I was at my most posi-Edgemanish, I was never a particularly positive person. So the giant POSITIVE OUTLOOK on the back… never worked for me. Or maybe just the forest green color of the version I ended up with that didn’t work for me, because I’m actually kind of feeling this black (possibly bordering on concert gray. Could just be the lighting) longsleeve version from jk485.
(Do I really need to post the front? It’s in the auction, and we all know what the front image is by now, don’t we?)
