In this post: cool t-shirts, shows about funeral homes, and what I bought recently!

Threadless.com Product - Sweet Creep
I know y'all are utterly fascinated by my day-to-day exploits but it's my blog and I do what I want! Don't worry, though; I'll try to make things interesting for you!

I've discovered this kickass website called Threadless T-Shirts where people submit t-shirt designs in the hopes of being picked up and mass-produced on the website's online store (like the design pictured above). I must say, a lot of the designs are really awesome and I just might have to invest in a couple. Not like I don't have enough t-shirts already, though. My brother and I recently went on a trip to Goodwill and came home with a few t-shirts and some old vinyls (my brother got live Queen and Led Zeppelin albums, I got a double album by ELO). Just felt like adding to the already overflowing pile 'o stuff in our house, I guess.

I "netflixed" the first season of Six Feet Under, the main reason being I was looking at the tracklist for their new soundtrack and couldn't find a single song I didn't like. It's amazing how the musical tastes of a movie or television show will get me interested in the actual movie/TV show. (case-in-point: I'm seeing Wedding Crashers tomorrow. Reason? The soundtrack.) Anyway, the show is awesome. I absolutely love it. Only problem is I now have to sift through FOUR SEASONS of the damn thing to get caught up. I hope my campus library has the DVDs available. UNCW's pretty good about keeping their stock of DVDs up-to-date.

And finally, I pre-ordered the new...um, New Pornographers album Twin Cinema, which I played the title track to on episode 9 of Jump Cut Radio. If you pre-order the album of Matador's website, you'll get a free 7" with an exclusive track on it. Yippee! (That was a slightly sarcastic "Yippee!" if you couldn't tell. I do like free vinyl though...)

UPDATE 7/20: I altered the link to the Threadless website so that if you guys buy something from them after clicking on my link, it gets referred back to me, scoring me points so I can get free t-shirts! You can do the same by registering with them and referring your friends.
