12.11.11 by Widge @ 5:34 pm 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.

12.05.11 by Widge @ 4:48 am  So the Threadless sales have been coming fast and furious recently but we've been so buried we haven't had a chance to give you the headsup. But now that they've launched what I would assume is the last sale before Christmas is upon us, I feel compelled to take a few more hundred milligrams of caffeine and stay up longer to ensure you've heard the news. A vast amount of tees are on sale now until 11:59PM Central Time today, 12/5. They're at $9.99. Hoodies as well are on sale at $29. Now, not everything's on sale, but a crapload of tees are indeed at the nicely reduced rate. So I urge you to do whatever holiday shopping now while there's still time. Categorized as: Headsup

This time out we're taking a look at some boxed and gift sets that loom before us like the holidays... It Takes a Thief hits Region 1 DVD in a complete series boxed set from Entertainment One. The title pretty much says it all, but let's expand a bit. When the Secret Intelligence Agency (I see what you did there) needs stuff stolen, they call upon the best in the business: Al Mundy. In return for a get out of jail free deal, he steals stuff while working for the government, all while playing the role of an international rich-as-hell playboy. Like you do. Playing the thieving spy-type is Robert Wagner, working his way out of 60s doldrums and doing so in style. Categorized as: Headsup

In fact...because we're old, we say it often: "They just don't make them like that anymore." And if you ever needed an example, all you have to do is check out the contents of The Looney Tunes Platinum Collection, Vol. 1. Because, honestly, whatever magic they were able to bottle back in the day when these were created (Wednesday), they ran out of their supply. Warner Brothers still has the characters but has never been able to recreate the frantic awesomeness that were these original cartoons. We shan't rehash the many theories as to why, because they have been covered better and elsewhere, I have no doubt. What we will do is get the usual rant out of the way before we talk about how pleased we are. Rant begins. Categorized as: Headsup

11.03.11 by Widge @ 1:51 am  The funny thing about listening to Tommy Yune talk about Robotech in the Carl Macek/Robotech retrospective on this new complete series boxed set is that I was nodding the entire time he described what the cartoon meant to kids. He mentions kids going home right after school because they had to see the next episode of the show. I was thinking, "6:30am for me, buddy." And then mention was made of getting up early as well. So yes, it's nice to know I wasn't the only one. It was my first anime. It was apparently a lot of people's first anime. And it apparently opened the doors for a lot of that material to get over here. So kids, ask your parents: this whole "anime section at It was, quite frankly, a show my parents probably wouldn't have let me watch if they had known what it entailed. I must have been twelve or thirteen--and remember television wasn't then what it is now (it had pretty much been just invented, this was, after all, 1718). The G.I. Joe cartoon? Lasers instead of guns. The A-Team? Nobody got shot unless it was central to the plot of the episode. Violence simply wasn't...violent. So in the opening episode, "Boobytrap," Robotech lets you see two huge alien ships get melted in orbit. The attack on Macross city feels like there's a body count. And you're watching ships just get destroyed left and right, good guys and bad. Categorized as: Headsup

10.27.11 by ScottC @ 4:05 pm  I was enjoying the latest Halloween releases from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. You have the classics such as the child-like sweetness of Boo, the more aggressive boozyness for Devil's Night and John Barleycorn, and the melancholy mix of the bounty of the harvest and the dying of the summer light that is October and Samhain. There are also some new fragrances in the trick and treat bag. Elegy IX: The Autumnal evokes the stately beauty of the autumn, a scent that is pleasurable but is not subject to the riot of spring. The beauty of the night time that is invoked by A Nocturnal Reverie comes across with musk, fruit, and flowers in shades of purple and black. Even the beauty of a cemetery and those who reside there can be expressed in the poem Nothing But Ghosts as well as the scents of dried fruits, moss hanging from the tress, and violets left by the grave. Even death cannot stop love as described in the poem Ghosts In Love with the lightness of lily of the valley, white carnation, and white sandalwood. This is countered with Le Revenant which tells of, to put it bluntly, a supernatural booty call. This is matched by a mixture of sweet yet heavy florals like gardenia, narcissus flower, and ambrette seed. While perusing all these heady aromas, something fell out of the package they came in. I picked it to investigate. Categorized as: Headsup
