T-Shirt of the Day

Finally took another picture of me actually wearing the shirt (though you can't see my face). This is my Jimi Hendrix Experience, Axis: Bold As Love shirt. As much as I wish this was vintage, I got it on clearance at Target for less than $3.50. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm a sucker for a really cool, cheap T-Shirt!

T-Shirt of the Day

Still not finding too many post-worthy things lately and I've been too busy with my girls to write the next chapter in my band bio. At least I still have the T-Shirt of the Day to fall back on when all else fails (except last Friday, but I blame band practice on that).

I love the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force on [adult swim]...it's one of my favorite shows. It's definitely not for everyone as it usually makes little to no sense. But if off the wall, tasteless comedy is your thing I highly recommend it. Actually most of [adult swim]'s nightly line-up is worth watching (except Saturdays when they go anime).

I have three ATHF shirts and it's hard for me to pick a favorite. This one may have the slight edge though as it's sort of a take-off on The Ramones classic logo. You'll see the others eventually. How many shirts have I featured so far? I don't really know, but I do know I have at least 100 more to choose from at the moment!

I don't think I've read any news more weird than this in a while. More weird details in the article. I really, really hope this project becomes a reality!

I've been lazy...

And I've been busy the past few days catching up on some reading and other things that are going on in my life. I'm not posting any music today and might get around to the T-Shirt post later on tonight, but if not I will try to make up for it tomorrow. I'm thinking about abandoning the daily music posts anyway...I'll still post things from time to time, but I don't feel it's necessary every day. I really want to try to start concentrating on more original posts, but it may take a few days for me to get back in the groove.

T-Shirt of the Day

Another beer T-Shirt today. Magic Hat makes what's probably my favorite beer, #9. Their other varieties are really good as well, but I just can't get enough of the #9. I usually don't care too much for "fruity" beers, but #9 is brewed with the essence of apricots and it makes for a really good tasting beer. They have little quotes/saying under the bottle caps, which is also a nice extra touch...and if you get the right bottle you can win this T-Shirt! I've won two, though I gave the second cap to my good friend Lee so he could get a free shirt as well. Oh, and one other thing... Magic Hat almost always has the best booths at the beer festivals that Lee turned me onto last year. They give the best swag...condoms, buttons, stickers, and matchboxes as well! Give Magic Hat a try if you're not a fan already!

Classic Rock Wednesday

It's hard to beat Alice Cooper. There are many people who want to be like him but he's a true original both musically and theatrically.

T-Shirt of the Day

This one is the first T-Shirt that my current band, Los Accidentes (or The Accidents to the local and the loyal) ever had made (besides the few heat transfer shirts I made earlier). My friend Russell Ellis made these for us and did a knock out job for a D.I.Y. project. I don't know if he's still working in screen printing T's, but he did work for Contagious Graphics when he did still live here. Artwork by guitarist Eric Huskins. I think I actually still have three of these that I kept for myself, but they've been about worn out! I think these were made in 1997, but I could be off by a year either way.

Speaking of, I will try to get another installment of my punk rock history later in the week.

Anarchy in Bedrock

I found this through a bulletin post on myspace and thought I would pass it along. As a side note, before SJA me and my friend Matt created a fake band called The Dead Flinstones. I guess maybe could have taken the idea to further levels with great results as evidenced by this way cool video (even if I've never been a big fan of Green Jello...er, Jelly)!

T-Shirt of the Day

It's been a slow posting day, but I've had a lot going on (and really haven't found anything post-worthy...yet). I did want to make sure I got the T-Shirt post in as well as my earlier music post.

I have about a dozen Simpsons-themed T-Shirts, but this one is probably my favorite. You'll be seeing others down the road for sure. Itchy & Scratchy, in case you've been living under a rock, is the cartoon within a cartoon from The Simpsons. They used to make regular appearance, like The Brown Hornet from Fat Albert, but lately their appearances are becoming more and more scarce. Maybe the writers have run out of ideas for Itchy & Scratchy or maybe they're just trying to make the appearances they do make these days more special. Whatever the case, I miss seeing them in every episode as in the past. Still, this is a kick ass T-Shirt and it's been in my collection for years.

What Did He Say????

In case you ever wondered just what the hell Joe Cocker's singing about...this one has subtitles!

*Apparently this video was made as birthday gift for someone named April as evidenced by the ending.

This Makes Me Happy

Heavy Load are a UK punk band with a twist...all of the members have developmental disabilities . I just love stuff like this, and not because I think it's funny or weird, but because it shows just how much life people with these disabilities have and how they just want to be like you and me. I can't wait to see the whole film, but here's a little sneak preview brought to you by the always cool Boing Boing & Verizon (more links on their site).

T-Shirt of the Day

Today's selection is another awesome piece of work from TorsoPants. Being a fan of both the theory of Communism (it's execution has always been flawed) and also the iconography, I loved this shirt when I saw it and had to have it. It's Vladimir Lenin's head atop John Lennon's body from the famous picture of him wearing his "New York City" T-Shit. Check out the fine folks at TorsoPants and see if they have something you like. The best thing about TorsoPants (besides their varied selection of dry humor T-Shirts) is that you can "customize" you T-Shirt by choosing the color and style of the T-Shirt you want! Get some Pants for your Torso today!

Potluck Monday

Today I'm going to feature one band and that band is DEVO. DEVO doesn't really fit into any of my other daily categories (though some would argue they're punk rock...and I sort of agree) and they're one of my favorites. Just look at the title of this blog...
