are they getting a cut in the money?

Is Sonic Youth becoming a trend? that should be the question.

screamingskull 10.18.2006 11:59 AM

oh god i hope not! hopefully their back catalogue will put any trend setters off buying their shirts.

static-harmony 10.18.2006 12:01 PM

Well I mean Rather Ripped is as closed to being actually marketable, since Goo and Dirrty. But for our sakes let's hope not.

Rob Instigator 10.18.2006 12:33 PM

why the hell not? after 25 years of making music the world is going to catch up eventually.
sonic youth forever.

I'm not familar with Urban Outfitters. Would they have those in manly T's, too, or just the girly v-neck ones.

screamingskull 10.18.2006 12:37 PM

ive only seen them in the girly sizes.
here's the boys page

I guess if I looked more like Rory Gilmore I could get away with it. I'll have to give up my two pints at dinnertime and slim down a bit.

Rob Instigator 10.18.2006 12:44 PM

You know how comic books have "alternate universe" storylines? I am waiting for the alternate universe storyline where it is shown that the gilmore girls are not actual;ly related and that they then proceed to lick each other's assholes until they both cum in each other's faces yeah.

gmku 10.18.2006 12:46 PM

Well, I don't think you have to wait, if you're really interested in that kind of reading material. There are whole "fan fiction" sites devoted to pursuing that same prurient storyline and such. Not that I've checked it out or anything--it's just what I'm told...

Rob Instigator 10.18.2006 12:52 PM

I can't read that fan-fiction stuff. it makes me feel like I am listening in on someone's perversions. ha! i wanna watch it!

ALIEN ANAL 10.18.2006 12:53 PM

So does anyone here, use the free stuf stencils and make their own shirts?

jon boy 10.18.2006 12:57 PM

they had 'confusion is sexy' t shirts in topshop!

HaydenAsche 10.18.2006 12:58 PM

Big fucking deal?

yeah, I like to watch, too...

ALIEN ANAL 10.18.2006 01:03 PM

i plan on making a few of the stencil sonic shirts, they are pretty rad.

yeah, I made a T-shirt from the fractured sonic youth and the Kim stencils. they turned out okay. Traced them for a primitive silkscreening technique. I just wanted to see if I could do a silkscreen. It was kind of boring and a lot of work, actually. I'd rather blow the 17 bucks or whatever on a manufactured shirt.

ALIEN ANAL 10.18.2006 01:06 PM

hah yeh i do silk screen shirts, the stenciling is very hard work but i have the knack of it.
I also design my own shirts, i have sold a few so far.

gmku 10.18.2006 01:07 PM

I've decided I have neither the time nor the patience. So much easier to order one online.

HaydenAsche 10.18.2006 01:08 PM

I make shirts fairly often so it's a worth investment for me.

topshop is a british chain store, kinda like h&m and they had goo t shirts also. ones with sequins that cost £25 (thats about $40)

nature scene 10.18.2006 06:44 PM

Oh no! Now I won't be as cool and underground!!

Cantankerous 10.18.2006 11:41 PM

who cares?

Alex's Trip 10.18.2006 11:46 PM

I can't imagine anyone buying those shirts from Urban Outfitter.

It was weird, I went into an Urban Outfitters awhile ago to find some red flats and they were playing sweetshine, followed by shoot and then another track I can't remember. The nurse shirt is pretty cute, but I'm nowhere near the SY fan I was a few years ago...otherwise I would've flipped. I think it's a great shirt, though.

IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD TO BELIEVE?



i rest my case.

I know. I thought I was the biggest hipster. And, if you don't like SY in Urban Outfitters, here is an idea: DON'T FUCKING BUY IT.

Jico 10.19.2006 06:51 AM
