Insound 10 for 10 Music Shirts–Beach House, Neon Indian + More

Published August 21, 2010 in Cool T-shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (1)

I’ve unfortunately not had Internet for the better part of the past week, leaving me unable to post even though I actually had time to do posting. But…I’m moved into my new apartment in Philadelphia, have working Internet, and am ready to get going. So let’s go…

These offerings come from Insound. They’ve made 10 shirts (and 10 posters) for 10 bands that had a significant impact on music in 2010. I love music (look how unique I am!), so I’m pretty embracing of such motivation. The shirts come from Beach House, Neon Indian, Liars, Titus Andronicus, Broken Social Scene, Girls, Mountain Goats, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and Owen Pallet.

All the designs incredibly well done, and Sonnenzimmer’s (the artist/s) style is pretty dang good. I’ve posted four of the designs from some of my favorite bands on the list, but you should check all 10 of them out. They’ll run you $22.00 over at Insound and they’re printed on American Apparel. The posters are also awesome. Check them too.

Rap Music Makes Me Feel Invincible from Print Liberation

Published March 9, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (1)

How true is this statement? Throw on some rap and you feel like you can take on the world, which makes it great for workouts–that or the Strokes (my other workout mix).

I’m really glad Print Liberation decided to bring this one back–I wanted to buy it before but they had already sold out of my size. Don’t delay then, because this might sell out fast.

You can pick it up on the awesome American Apparel tr-blend shirt for $22.00. I own like 8 of the tri-blends and wear them at least a couple times a week–they’re deliciously soft. Check it out at Print Liberation. They kick ass.

Blame Canada for Nickelback from Busted Tees

Published February 10, 2010 in Humorous T-Shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (1)

I’ve been riding the Nickelback hate bandwagon for quite a while now–I think since about when I first heard one of their songs. Therefore, I feel a compulsion to post about anything involving hating Nickelback. And thus, I present you with this post: Blame Canada for Nickelback.

It’s on pre-order sale for $16.99 at Busted Tees. You can save another 10% with a coupon.

PS. Now I have that voice stuck in my head. Look at this photographhhhhhhh. Shoot me.

PSS. I’m not usually this vindictive. Really. I’m not.

Oh Sheesh Y’all from Busted Tees

Published January 15, 2010 in Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (0)

I don’t know if this has something to do with Jake and Amir (because that’s technically in the title of the shirt), but I’m just going to assume this is a reference to Notorious B.I.G.’s song Juicy. I think pretty much everyone I know, including myself, can recite at least the first verse. I’ll start…

It was all a dream\I used to read word up magazine\Salt N Pepa and Heavy D up on the limousine…

I know the Oh Sheesh Y’all really has nothing to do with Juicy, but I choose to ignore that–it’s all good baby baby. I’ve also still got the Busted Tees coupon thing going.

Too Many Mutha Uckas — Flight of the Conchords Shirt

Published January 3, 2010 in Movie T-Shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts Type Tees. Comments (1)

I mutha uckin love Flight of the Conchords (you should have seen that one coming), especially this song and the first season in general. It’s a shame it had to go and get cancelled (that’s right–two l’s mutha uckas), but I suppose it was meant to be. Hopefully Jermaine and Brit (Bret) go on to do greater things.

While this shirt is just a simple text tee, I think it looks really great with the white text on red. Good choice, Nerdy Shirts!

Check out the video below. The song is damn catchy and the episode is awesomely hilarious (so watch the whole thing if you can):

 

Three Band Shirts That I Just Bought

Published September 15, 2009 in Music T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (3)

This post doesn’t serve much purpose other than highlighting three band shirts that I bought and am incredibly psyched to receive. Actually, I guess there is some small purpose, because sometime soon I’ll be digging through the plethora of shirts out there and picking my favorite for each (being Grateful Dead, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan–I wanted to buy some shirts from obscure bands). I usually try to buy shirts only from bands I’ve seen in concert, but that’s not easy with these dudes,although I did see Phil Lesh and Friends at Bonnaroo and almost saw Dylan. I’ve yet to get close to seeing The Beatles though (surprise!). So yeah, here are the three I bought, and expect more detailed posts for all of them soon. Sorry that the pictures are not the greatest quality.

Grateful Dead

Bob Dylan

The Beatles (you may have seen this one before).

I also bought a bunch of other shirts recently, including Dr. Dog (who I haven’t seen, but will be seeing in about a month), The Spinto Band, Ra Ra Riot (I have three of their shirts now!), and the Cold War Kids.

P.S. Can you tell I like tie-dye?

P.P.S. I really just wanted to post something regarding music. Be my friend on last.fm!

Turn it Up! from lunchboxbrain on MySoti

Published July 26, 2009 in Humorous T-Shirts Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (3)

This shirt garnered a definitive chuckle from me. The text drew me immediately to that Flo Rida song (Oh hot damn, this is my jam–you know it), and obviously juxtaposing Flo Rida with the dude on the shirt makes for a funny image. I think the guy on the shirt also looks like the guy wearing the shirt in an odd way (anyone wanna back me up on that?).

You can grab this on American Apparel for $23.11 at MySoti. You can also pick a different type of blank to make it like $5 cheaper.

Horn Player from Ubiquity at 80’s Purple

Published July 11, 2009 in Music T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

Sticking with yesterday’s theme of music, here’s a sweet shirt from Ubiquity, conveniently for sale at 80’s Purple. I say conveniently because 80’s Purple was also kind enough to offer me a coupon code for 25% off all t-shirts (minus sale ones)–that was pretty nice of them. Just use code troundup to get the discount.

I dig the division of the shirt, with the blank space above and vertical lines below–it looks great. The horn player himself also looks pretty rad. You can pick it up for $22 ($16.5 with the coupon) at 80’s Purple.

P.S. Check out the other Ubiquity shirt I featured awhile back–it’s still just as awesome as it was back then.

Carry On from Shirt Fight

Published July 10, 2009 in Music T-Shirts Printed on American Apparel T-Shirts. Comments (1)

I was in Europe when this shirt dropped, otherwise this would have been posted a long time ago. This design is straight up excellent, as would be expected from mathiole (you’ve probably seen his stuff on Design by Humans). I love the lack of a head, and the foil is just fantastic. Long story short, I’m buying this shirt as soon as I publish this post.

You can grab this one for $18.00 at Shirt Fight. They print on American Apparel, and shipping is pretty cheap–only $2ish I believe.

Jimi Hendrix T-Shirts from Local Celebrity

Published July 2, 2009 in Music T-Shirts T-Shirts. Comments (0)

Local Celebrity just recently released some pretty shweet Jimi Hendrix designs. I found it to be somewhat out of their usual style, but I’m very glad that they did it, given the aforementioned shweetness of the shirts. Out of my two favorites above, I think the Voodoo Child is my definitive first place winner. You can pick these two designs, and a third Purple Haze design, up at Local Celebrity. Also check out the Local Celebrity coupon page to see if they’ve released any in the future (I don’t think they have any coupons right now though).

I’m hoping to pick up Jimi Hendrix vinyls sometime soon as well–I figure they should be pretty awesome when I eventually find the means to play them.
