Last Year In…

Music-and-film based satire blog The Umpteenth Times posted a great piece involving stimulus plans and Fugazi.

Tune Travis Tune: An America Is Just A Word Update

Same Old Shirt

April 3, 2009 / Leave a Comment

For folks who love witty t-shirts, Threadless is usually the place to go. But their new emo + emu design that’s up for potential shirt-printing is… well… barking up the same tree.

Hey! What?! No, Really… What?

April 1, 2009 / 1 Comment

I wish I could blame this sort of thing on April Fools Day, and perhaps the timing is all-out irony, but it’s stuff like this that reminds you how everyone lives under their own rock at times.
