Day: 681
Shirt: Morrissey - Tour Of Refusal 2009
Color: Black
Brand: Anvil
Source: I got this shirt in Albuquerque, NM in 2009.  i was putting on a Mastodon show down the street literally two block s away when i got wind that Morrissey was playing down the street.  i put my #2 in charge and told him id be back in a lil while.  

I Missed the opener the Courteeners which i was really bummed about but i did manage to catch Morrissey.  In NM, in a very tiny club which i was really excited about.  i think i saw half the set, at least 3 shirt changes.  but it was worth every minute.  

Today is the big guys birthday.  so this one is for him.  Happy Birthday buddy.  stay well don’t die, come to america again and play one more time.  

Day: 678
Shirt: Green Day - Warning Tour
Color: Heather Grey
Brand: Fruit Of The Loom Heavy
Source: Playing Catch up since i have been without a computer for 5 days .. enjoy.  

File This under i still gave a shit after Dookie.  no pun intended.  I wanted to hate them cause i felt kinda sold out as a kid, but then i realized i had no idea what sold out was.  Green Day still kept it real, no doubt about that.  

Not sure about now and the triple album scene..but you catch my drift. 

Day: 666

Shirt: Mercyful Fate - Melissa Tour ‘83

Color: Heather Grey

Brand: Gilden

Source: So today is day #666  the number of the beast.  kinda anti-climactic if you ask me.  I was going to wear the slayer shirt i wore earlier this week but for obvious reasons i moved it up.  Mercyful fate is no pansy substitute at all but it is a reproduction cause like i said on my Instagram earlier today where someone said “Is This Real” My response was simple.  I wish at age 10 i was cool enough to be cruising at Mercyful Fate shows!  I am almost positive if i was that 10 year old kid i would not be alive today.  

So like i said this was going to be a my Slayer shirt but the beast took Jeff away a few days too early.  Imagine if Jeff would have died on day #666?  that would shave been some spooky shit.  and no blog should wield that much power.  never.  

The Funny thing about the number of the beast.  its kinda like 7 being a lucky number and 13 being unlucky.  i don’t believe in either.  I don’t believe in heaven and hell.  but i love metal music.  and so the #666 has just been funny to me, like i think it is to most people.  like ooohhh!!!  your sandwich cost $6.66 your going to choke on it and die.  no one ever dies.  its shut something neat to take a picture of and show your friends about how you cheated death today.  you have a new lease on life.  so make it count.  

Watch now that i typed all this bullshit i’m going to die somehow tonight and ill be eating my words for all eternity in hell, right?  

spooooooky

Day: 660

Shirt: Dag Nasty - Field Day Tour 1988 (Replica)

Color: Black

Brand: American Apparel 50/50

Source: Ironic that this might be my least fav era of Dag Nasty yet i hold it so coveted.  Its like there is no BAD dag, only lesser great.  Part of my liking this record less is the recording/mixing of the album, it is very weird and never felt right.  this is one record that can stand from a good reissue treatment.  especially since this record specifically isn’t available on most internet media sites.

I wish the band would have taken mer more seriously on making this show happen.  i would have really enjoyed that…

Day: 659

Shirt: Siouxsie & the Banshees - North American Tour

Color: Black

Brand: EM Merch

Source: a real soft spot for this woman and her music.  especially in market and era where even though the music was more sensitive was more dominated by men.

This woman was punk tho, went to Sex Pistols shows, got all moshed up she didn’t give a fuck.   but maybe that is what lead to her success.  she wasn’t about making a scene it seems as much as she was about being enveloped in it.   Its what makes her music raw and truthful a the same time.    Honesty goes a long way in songwriting a think  and a good guitar riff doesn’t hurt either.  

Anyone know what year/Tour this shirt is from, i cant for the life of me remember?

Day: 656

Shirt: Depeche Mode - Violator North American tour 1990

Color: White

Brand: Blank

Source: Not going to lie, pretty disappointed i didn’t get to see Depeche Mode at the troubadour last night.  Its funny how many people i got into free shows that all of a sudden forget when i ask to get the favor returned. don’t get me wrong there are a few people out there that always come through but for the most part, its grim.  

So i hang my head low and put together a playlist of the set form last night.   weep with me people.  

Day: 655

Shirt: Black Flag - Is it In Her Heart?  Her Mind? Or Is It Real? In My Head Tour ‘86 (Replica)

Color: Navy Blue

Brand: Fruit Of The Loom Best

Source: I’m a day late on this post i know..as Atiba says #sorryforpartying.  Anyways i finally broke out this piece yesterday.  very proud of how it turned out.  Looks great , feels great tastes great.  the end of an era and I’m sorry to see it go. i enjoyed this run ill say that for sure.  

Day: 654

Shirt: Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream Rock Invasion ‘93-‘94

Color: White

Brand: Giant

Source: It really is amazing, how fucking good this album is.  From start to finish its fan-fucking-tastic.  Its funny how people hate on Billy now.  Yet Danzig is far more of a cock and he is still legendary status.  Perhaps its cause he was in Misfits then Danzig, but i dunno. I still think Billy gets a bad rap.  

I feel like he could still come out in front of things tho.  its not like he is making bad music, cause he is not, he is just way better at alienating fans than getting new ones.  

Day: 651

Shirt: Ed Banger - 2007 North American Tour

Color: Yellow

Brand: Crate

Source: There is a long story attached wiht this tour and shirt for me.  sadly i cant go into it now, but will at a future time. sorry charlie.
