may09splashnew-480x340 Mini Cassette dropped 3 new tees a couple of weeks ago

Here’s a trio of tees that I found whilst rooting around in my inbox. I think that even if I posted a tee-related story every hour for a month my e-mail inbox would still be embarassingly full of unanswered mail. Also, if I did a post an hour for a month I’d probably have some kind of nervous breakdown, which might be a fun experiment!

Birdshot by Cotton Factory

1100-480x245 Birdshot by Cotton Factory

A few days ago I was sat in our living room when I heard a thud against the big bay window. It’s not unusual for birds to smack into the window, but they usually get straight up and fly away seemingly unharmed. This occasion was different, the bird (judging by its fluffiness this may well have been the chicks first foray out of the nest) just lay there, twitching every so often, it’s little heart beating at a furious pace. Whilst I’m no vet, I presumed that it had hit head first, cracked its skull and was now going through a rather nasty hemorrhaging ordeal, but I left it alone because I couldn’t do anything and didn’t want to scare it, so I turned back to the TV. About 20 minutes later I glanced out the window and found the little bird to now be stood up, slowly moving it’s head around, but still not particularly active. Ten minutes or so went by when I took another look to see how my new feathery chum was doing, and it’s head was darting around now, it gave it’s wings a couple of stretches and took off as if nothing had happened. It was weird how emotionally invested I got into the life of this little bird just because it crashed next to the window, or maybe I just really didn’t want to pick up a dead bird to throw in the trash.

This t-shirt is ridiculous and silly and I know I shouldn’t like it but there’s something about it that makes me smile.

One of the things that I like about Johnny Cupcakes is that whilst the rest of us are sat around saying “wouldn’t it be cool if…”, he actually goes out and does it, which is why when I hear that JC is hosting a dinner party on a boat for people that purchase a special limited edition shirt, my eyebrows don’t raise a single millimetre.

sdc15718-large-480x360 Chain Smoker by Graniph [Review]

If you can say one thing about Graniph (and I say a lot), it’s that they run through designs pretty darn quickly, so for those of you that flip healthy society the bird by inhaling smoke (think about it, you’re inhaling smoke, isn’t that an odd concept?), I’m afraid you can’t complement your habit with this tee because by the looks of it Graniph don’t sell this particular design anymore. Still, there’s a load more excellent designs in the store for your perusal.

Robotic Tacos by Foe Paws Apparel

I’d be willing to guess that more than a few of you regular readers right now got your first taste of HYA when you read either of my big lists of robot t-shirts, and with the new Transformers movie coming out at the weekend (aka the movie that makes me as giddy with excitement as a 12 year-old at a Jonas Brothers concert), don’t be surprised if a new list as epic as the film pops up on HYA over the next few days.

To tide you over until then, enjoy these robotic tacos. This tee is only available for a limited amount of time, so much like actual tacos, it’s better to get ‘em while they’re hot.

us-480x361 Crywolf Clothing keep you coming back for more

Best. Title. Ever.

In a case of ladies doin’ it for themselves, Rose & Stephanie, who together form the mighty duo of Crywolf, design and hand-silkscreen all the garments in their store, and a mighty fine job they do to. It’s hard to peg these two Torontoites (Torontoans? Torontonians? Torrorizers? People From Toronto?) down to just one style, they tend to jump around a lot from between themes and print styles, so just check out the gallery and you’ll get a better idea what’s going down. Oh, and they’re offering free shipping this month when you sign up to their newsletter.

Vimeo Flag tee at BustedTees

bustedteesc2d6efd8303438b5023b07acc82b41d5 Vimeo Flag tee at BustedTees

Have you ever stopped to think about how awesome YouTube is… in theory, and then noticed that the top videos (on Monday) are on the subjects of Miley Cyrus, Big Brother UK, Rugby, and a couple of live Slipknot videos. People have been saying for years that TV is going to die because of web video. They’re wrong.

However, Vimeo is a bit of a different proposition, I’m sure there’s an awful lot of crap on their too, but the videos in general do seem to be of a higher quality in terms of both content and resolution, though I’m sure I must be bringing down the average. They have a series of tees available through BustedTees, and whilst most of them are a bit boring as they’re just the Vimeo text logo, this flag design (which reminds me of a test card, that’s the idea, right?) is pretty darned cool.

The Music Tee

musictee_mandw  The Music Tee

Here’s a novel idea. If you purchase the tee above, you’ll receive a code that can be redeemed in the form of an album download. I don’t actually recognise any of the artists on the album, but then again I stopped trying to find out about what was new and cool in the music world a long time ago.

main-guts Gutz by Drop Dead Clothing [Rumplo Rocks]

You’d think that because I’m posting this tee (and at the glamourous time of 9:00 on a Monday morning) that I like the shirt. I don’t actually like the design, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s done well, but I don’t think I’d want to wear it with just a tee on my torso. However, I reckon it would look good under a jacket/zip-up.
