02.07.12 by Widge @ 9:45 pm  No doubt inspired a little bit by Dead Island, we are compelled by our rule ("If it's undead and bleeds, it leads") to place this on the front page. It's "A Family Once" by Jay Fleck. It's a bloody shame it's the wrong color, however. But man, it's one of Threadless' best zombie shirts in some time. Also of note for recent updates is the Lord of the Rings vs. Monty Python mashup, "Impasse" by Verso. And they've reduced the awesome pirates vs. dog t-shirt "Reburied Treasure" by David Soames and Nathan W. Pye to $12. Grab them with the links above or browse the sit by clicking here.

02.03.12 by Widge @ 2:18 am There's a lot of stuff that comes out all the time, and the companies are want your attention and mostly...your coin. But, you know, it's your coin and you have to take care where you spend it. With these posts we try to take you through recent releases so you can make up your mind. If you find the info here to be of use, do us a favor and purchase stuff from Amazon through us. Especially if you were going to buy the stuff anyway. That gives us kickbacks, which help pay for things. Like the server. And coffee. And therapy. We thank you.

01.27.12 by ScottC @ 10:45 pm  I know that aggressive merchandizing is standard operating procedure for media companies. How else are they going to maximize their monetizing streams. So we get flooded with T-shirts, action figures, plush toys and anything else you can slap some copyrighted imagery on. The problem is that marketers get a little...insane. It's almost like a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, where your licensed content must be every single thing available or else it is unclean. Think I'm exaggerating? I have a perfect example. Avengers Brand cologne. Yes, really. Categorized as: Headsup

01.24.12 by Widge @ 1:06 pm  So a quick headsup here that the current Threadless clearance--tees starting at $9--ends tomorrow morning at 11am Eastern Time. And surprisingly, there's still a bunch of excellent ones left in stock. Some quick pointers for shirts we recommend follow. The cute coffee-related "I Was Here" by Dina Prasetyawan is something that we would be remiss if we didn't mention it, for obvious reasons. There's also the classic-for-a-reason/perennial "Pillow Fight" by Fiona Lee. And the relatively recent pirate meets dog "Reburied Treasure" by David Soames and Nathan W. Pyle. Don't worry if you don't get it immediately. Ensure you've looked at the back. And, admittedly, the "Adopt a Direwolf" design we have posted there by Sean A. Husbands isn't on sale...but it's just so goddamn cute, what can you do? As always, we urge you to consider impending birthdays and other occasions when it would be nice to snag something for $9. Just saying. Find the selection of sale items here. Enjoy. Categorized as: Headsup

Just a headsup: if you're a Kindle owner, I've dropped the price of my novel, Mystics on the Road to Vanishing Point, to $.99. And Magnificent Desolation, my collection of short stories, was already $.99. However, here's the other fun bit: I've signed both books up for the Kindle Owners' Lending Library, which you get free with Amazon Prime. So you can digitally "borrow" the books to read for free. Mystics I would classify as a piece of "straight fiction" (not in the sexual orientation sense) that's a coming of age novel for people who really hate coming of age novels. And Magnificent Desolation is a collection of short stories that I would classify as "dark fantasy" without having anywhere else to put them. For an example of a story, I read "Adelaide" for 32 Days this past year. If you're not a Kindle owner, you can fix that here. I welcome and encourage all feedback on my stuff. Thanks for your kind attention. Categorized as: Headsup

12.24.11 by Widge @ 3:24 pm That's right: pandas, bad sci-fi, robots and aliens. That's Christmas around here. How is it at your place?

12.22.11 by ScottC @ 3:53 am  One of the author Jasper Fforde's more interesting concepts from his Thursday Next books is the Church of the Global Standard Deity--a melange of religions that most people can mostly agree on. While it is supposed to alleviate the conflicts that differences in religious doctrine can cause, you have to wonder how satisfying the services are. Speaking of satisfying, have you ever bought a tomato or strawberry that looks ripe and colorful, then found it had no taste? That is Permanent Global Summertime, where grocers make sure that produce is available for the consumer, no matter the time of year or the lack of flavor. Of course, we are in the midst of Global Standard Winter Holiday, or as it is colloquially known, Christmas. And as businesses attempt to include everyone in the Holiday Season, a lot of traditions, variations, and uniqueness find themselves stripped away. That is why I enjoy the Yule perfume line from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. It shows the many rich facets of the holiday season, far beyond the standard Mall Santa, Muzak'ed carols, and supermarket holiday cookies. Categorized as: Headsup
