Well, new for me anyways. It's called "Percussion Gun" from White Rabbits, and I downloaded the album and it's pretty awesome. It's basically indie rock gone to drumline camp.

And maybe you will too after voting and commenting on my collab with Rico Mambo:





While you're in the neighborhood, check out this collab with the colossal randyotter3000!

I seriously will never get over how much I enjoy seeing just how far we have peered into the furthest and most ancient parts of the universe...and just how little we've still actually taken in and if we'll ever find where the universe actually ends. Does it loop back around on itself? Does it come to a point where the laws of the known universe no longer hold constant? Or is there just some giant green blobs playing marbles with our entire universe like Will Smith's movies would have us believe?

Dim the lights and grab your Bill & Ted telephone booth cause we're going for a ride through space and time!

I've come to the realization that I have a lot of collabs that deal with:

Space:

















War:

















Pirates:










and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many visual word puns (with no signs of stopping).


What are some of your themes or places you have constantly gone back down the idea hole to mine for new concepts?

Help us Threadless-Ones, you're our only hope!

Amazing illustrator Mike Reisel and whatever the hell I am are putting the finishing touchity-touches on our first collab, and we'd like help from the Threadless community to finish it up!

The concept of the design is a reversal or abstraction of a cock fight/gladiator battle, with astronauts that have been caught freewheeling it up in outer space- polluting every corner of the cosmos for exploration sake- are pushed into an arena filled with thousands of different species of aliens to battle it out for their blood-thirsty satisfaction. Check out a small sampling of the spectators:











Quite a festive bunch ain't they? We've got FOUR missing spots in the spectator pile-on that we need your help on, so in this blog please describe up to four alien characters you'd like to seen drawn by Mike and whichever four we like the best will be made a t-shirt reality in the design!

Let go to the creepiest crawliest funkiest craziest and est-iest corners of your sci-fi mind to come up with a character so awesome and hilarious the design would not be half as good without its inclusion.

We are also gonna have an alien flying a banner outside the arena to really sell the fight night concept with a quick burst of exciting words and phrases, so we also need a writing guru who can come up with the magic lines to make viewers of the tee instantly understand the idea and make it as exciting sounding as possible, from the perspective of a banner trying to sell this sporting event to alien passers-by to come on in and have one hell of a good time:



If one of your characters or banner heading is picked to go into the submission, you will win a free t-shirt of this design if it is printed and our favorite alien/banner will get a 25 Threadless gift certificate straight-on-up!

The contest will last until we find five elements we love like a Snuggie loves embarrassing its wearer, so maybe a couple hours, maybe a few eons, who knows?

Thanks so much for being a part of our intergalactic fun-timery!

And I couldn't be happier with Threadbuck holes in my head and all over my porch! Thanks a lot for all the STPs today, and in fact in the last week or two for the sale I've been getting a good deal of them, and it fills me with the warm and fizzy fuzzies. My unlimited love to y'all and if you reveal yourselves on this blog in the next half hour, I'll try to repay you with my order and future ones as well! And don't take credit for the Threadless cash payment if you didn't do it, you will get yourself into seven years bad luck of your bought t-shirt designs falling right off your tee as soon as you put them on!

Please vote on all these glorious designs and I will pay you each a hay-penny for your efforts if these designs get printed!

















Some designs I adore but moreso for the wall than less for my chest:








And some designs I really enjoy and deserve much accolade-ance:


























I got's another collab coming out, this time with the wonderful Rico Mambo:

I'm all for debates about political debates with people who don't share my viewpoints, but then there's the people who rant and scream and make the biggest noise who really aren't adding anything to the debate except blocking the real issues, and those people I think are abusing and the democratic process, like these peeps below.

Apparently some folks in the ludicrous completely-proven-to-be-put-together-by-Fox-News Teabaggers Tea Party movement have made a documentary film which tries to make their mostly hollow, pissed off but not offering any of their own answers, purposely mis-informing as well as covertly and not-so-covertly racist meetings on capital hill to protest a progressive agenda (that really isn't that progressive once it gets completely watered down and toothless before it becomes an official bill) look like a patriotic uprising of voices that MUST BE HEARD!

I love the action movie bravado that the narrator of the trailer has for the film, like it's the sequel to 2012 or something.

These people have every right to voice their opinion, but it mostly consists of people that have an EXTREMELY skewed look at reality and don't really say much when you actually stop mocking their ridiculous name for a movement and dressing in Revolutionary War outfits.

Get a load of these flick's trailer here and check it out: they actually found a black youth to try and make the Teabaggers movement not look like it's made up of 95 percent white folks!



In other news, Sarah Palin stated today that she thinks the "birther" question about Barak Obama- you know, the one that has been completely debunked and dealt with for several months now- is a legitimate question for people to still ask about. I'm so glad this portion of the country isn't in charge right now.....not that the peeps in charge are doing so much different or still aren't kowtowing to Goldman-Sachs and every other bank interest to keep feeding them our tax money....but at least they're trying to close the door a little bit on corporations running the country instead of just flinging it open as wide as it can go.

I went to see The Fantastic Mr. Fox today, and it was good in a way that just smashes your expectations open at how fun and pretty a stop-motion movie can look and feel.

All the shots are pure Wes Anderson attention to every milimeter of awesome detail (I can't wait to slo-mo pretty much the entire movie to take in all the picture-frame worthy shot setups and lil jokes stuffed into every corner), the music both orchestrated and Beach Boys/Rolling Stones is as usual extremely well-implemented, the voices are spot-on and the way the stop-motion characters move in line with the psychical comedy is pure silent film funny. Plus, it's a Roald Dahl story, the king of the modern children's story that is still filled to the brim with complex emotions and horrific moments.

It's one of those movies you can tell by the looks on their faces that everyone on the film was having one hell of a fun time, and you're looking at faces that had to be moved 24 times a second!

Some have said this film isn't for kids, but there were a bunch of children at the screening I saw at 2pm and the kids were very well-behaved except for the moments that they were laughing their guts off at the shenanigans on screen.

I really can't recommend this movie enough. Anyone have a favorite moment or disagree?

GO ON AND GRAB YOUR BANDIT HATS AND JOIN IN ON THE FUN!

hahahahahahaha!

Headlines need to really be more specific if they don't want jokes about Scott Stapp and Kid Rock juicing each other's flesh shakes.

But since this was on The Huffington Post, I can almost see the headline smirking at me and having every intention to lead people into thinking those boys did the sucking. Which wouldn't have really surprised me that they'd only think their expandable inner-thigh telescopes should only be touched by the throat of another rock god since I think they're both two of rock's biggest douchebags.

"I did apologize to him that I didn't just burn that thing. I thought that was a skeleton in the closet that would never find the light of day."

Yeah right, Stapp has probably been playing that video three times a day with his music going full blast and him in a cross-like pose with a fleshlight attached to his johnson just to re-enact the good ol' days of being popular enough that someone might wanna be caught giving you head on a tape that just might get "accidentally" leaked.

Fill in your own story about what this headline link shall lead to!
