Tall, Dark And Fantastic

Tall, Dark And FantasticMost of you are probably already aware of this, but the dudes behind Virb have created a new t-shirt shop, Cottyn. Since this has been going on for weeks, it's kind of hard to say that it's news now, isn't it? Still, they've managed to come on strong with five great tees — I already own I'm A Noob and rock it with great pride — and a pretty decent store to boot. So they're worth a mention at the very least.

And while I care to think of myself as an amateur musicologist, I ran a music related tee for my last post. Besides, I really adore coffee. Between the vanilla latte with five shots from Coffee Bean at home and pretty much anything from Philz when I'm up in the Yay Area, I seriously have a thing for that dark, wonderfully bitter brew.

Okay, maybe I don't have as much of a thing for coffee as my homey Sean does, but I still really enjoy it enough to totally agree with what this shirt is saying. Coffee is tall, dark and fantastic in the morning? Fuckin' a, man. If I didn't have to get some sleep, I'd seriously be drinking some right this second...

Love Will Tear Us Apart

Love Will Tear Us ApartFor someone who never even got the chance to see them live during their extremely brief tenure — mostly because Ian Curtis died when I was two — I really love Joy Division quite a bit. So much so that my all-time favorite song is the inspiration for the tee I'm going to be talking about today.

Now when I say "all-time favorite", I seriously mean it. I obsessively listen to this song — or a semi-reasonable facsimile — at least once a day. I've also considered getting the phrase tattooed somewhere on my person, something I don't think about doing unless it means the world to me. You could say I'm a bit hardcore, I guess...

Anyhow, the concept is actually a pretty basic but very cool one. All the shirts have on them is nothing more than the running time and title of the song — and that's it. That might not fly for some of you, but I happen to really like the idea and execution here.

Now I could try to be impartial and talk about one of the other shirts Blanka offers — they even have really clever Helvetica ones — but most of you are already keen to the fact that I like to indulge my obsessions more than anything else. So despite the fact that they have similar shirts for Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, The Smiths, Public Enemy, New Order and AC/DC, I've gotta go with what I love. Y'all understand that, right?

Stripe Wars: Vader

Stripe Wars: VaderHoly. Fucking. Shit. As somebody who grew up with (not to mention downright idolized) the original trilogy — AKA "the one true trilogy" — I am completely in love with Chop Shop's exceptional pinstriped take on Darth Vader.

Of course the pinstriped takes on everyone's favorite Wookie Chewbacca and those Bantha riding Tusken Raiders are nothing to sneeze at... Still, my heart belongs to Vader.

After feasting your eyes upon it, can you seriously blame me? If Lucasfilm knew what was good for them, they'd spare Chop Shop the inevitable C&D headed their way and start carrying these tees in their shop — which is full of WWE grade drek as far as I'm concerned. I know that they won't tho — and that's a damn shame.

So get them while the getting is good, kids...
