I.R.S. "The Cutting Edge"

For those of you too young to remember...MTV used to actually play music videos and was focused on what was going on in the industry. Not focused on making greasy slime balls and spoiled immature sluts into celebrities.

I.R.S. The Cutting Edge aired on MTV from 1983-1987 and was on the last Sunday of the month. Some of my favorites featured on the show were The Alarm, The Smithereens, Hüsker Dü, Hoodoo Gurus and The Blasters to name a few. Although I didn't like some of the more trendy popular bands like The Cure, R.E.M., U2, or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I know, I know, I can hear your reactions now...."BOOO! You don't know what you're talking about" Like I was saying, there were some great bands and it was a great time watching these videos and listening to the interviews. Every time I watched an episode, I would be introduced to at least one or two great new bands. That was back before You Tube when you actually had to work at finding new sounds and artists. Of course this was in the olden days when singers actually sang without the aid of computer programs and musicians learned thier instruments. It seems like such a foreign concept today to have an actual live performance where the band sounds better live then they do on the manicured recording. 
If you want to see some of these old performances and interviews, the show has been released on DVD. Check it out. It will definately bring back some great memories.

One last thing before I leave...I HATE MORRISSEY ALSO!!!! The Ramones Rule!

Urban Cowboy 1980's t-shirt

The new URBAN COWBOY t-shirt is here!
Remember the good old days before it was socially acceptable for two cowboys to have a romantic rendezvous on Brokeback Mountain? When real cowboys wore low cut shirts exposing their hairy chest and jeans so tight that you could see their religion. Those were the days when the real men spread their cheeks and sat down on a mechanical bull riding it like they wus voted queen of the County Jail social. Only true manly men could take an ass pounding like that. You gotta love this t-shirt as much as Bud loved Sissy and beer. This is a must for riding mechanical bulls or doing the 2-step at Gilley's.

Jeff Spicoli Fast Times at Ridgemont High t-shirt!

The coolest Fast Times at Ridgemont High t-shirt is here!
Hey Bud, Let's Party! How many famous quotes originated from this classic character? "My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it." "No Shirt, No Shoes....No DICE!" "Hey bud, what's your problem?" "People on 'ludes should not drive!" and the most influencial and inspiring word from Jeff Spicoli were "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine."
This was probably the most memorable and coolest film character of the 80's. He wasn't the smartest guy, you never saw him hook up with girls and he certainly didn't have a future ahead of him but every guy wanted to be Spicoli. Every time I wear this shirt people walk up to me and start quoting the movie. I do believe this is one of our best t-shirts because it is so much fun to wear. It's insane how a movie made back so long ago can still remain so close to so many.
