Gemini Cricket t-shirts are here!

2008-03-27T01:33:45Z

Hey everyone! These keen Gemini Cricket ringer tees are selling like hot cakes! A few lucky shirts are making a trip across the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans! If you would like a shirt please let us know asap so we can set aside a few in a reserve pile.

Please read our sizing chart because we have very polarized shirt sizes:

"Tiny Dancer" size: This size is for you tiny little gals ( and kiddo's) out there. It helps if you don't have mondo size boobies because they will be mad-poppin' out of these tees, unless you like it that way...

"Typical Girl" size: This size give you overall more room and more room for your girls. This is a comfy and less clingy size cut for girls.

***For all you real ladies out there we have sizes coming soon for you so stick in there! We didn't know how smal the smalls would be!***
*** Fot all you skinny indie boys...never fear! Size small boy shirts are on the "honey-do" list!***

"HUNK" size: This is the kind of shirt a tiny Dancer could sleep in. It's also the perfect size for you guys around 6' and over 175 lbs. The tags says medium but my heart says "HUNK."

"HULK" size. If you are a super buff and totally ripped Gemini Cricket fan (as most of you are) then this is the shirt size for you! If you wish to make a t-shirt dress then this is the shirt for you. Cut the sleeves off and tie a belt around your waist with this one. You provide the scissors and belt and we will totally crimp your hair!

ps, GEMINI CRICKET is a totally awesome band from Athens, Ga

001collective is a brand-new torrent-based music collective of folk, pop and electronic artists who want to share their stuff online for free. My top recommendations are both of Shelby Sifers' albums, Dustin and the Furniture, Secret Owl Society and Errand Boy. Or you can download tinyfolk or whatever (start with the new stuff). Anyway, check that shit out, lots of great free new music there.

Sorry for those who already know this, or if this has been posted about before... but I didn't know that Kurt Cobain had a K shield tattooed on him?

Musician Kurt Cobain had the K Records logo tattooed on his forearm, saying it was to "try and remind me to stay a child." It is mentioned in the song "Lounge Act," which was written about Bikini Kill co-founder, Tobi Vail. ("I'll arrest myself / I'll wear a shield")

It's funny that this would be the only tattoo Kurt ever had, of all things.

Remember how I asked for help on my Woelv paper? Thanks for your efforts. I thought I'd share, if you want to read it!
Warning: my French is very elementary.

Geneviève Castrée est une femme de Québec au Canada. Elle a 25 ans. Son anniversaire est le 9 avril. Quand elle était petite, Geneviève écoutait et jouait de la musique très forte avec ses amis. Elle aimait la musique avec des cris. Puis, elle a commencé à écouter moins forte musique. Alors, elle a décidé à faire des dessins et la musique qui se correspondait. Elle est dessinatrice depuis 1996. Ses dessins ont été publiés dans des livres. Elle est une bonne musicienne, aussi. Elle s'appelle "Woelv" quand elle chante et joue de la guitare. Elle est mariée à Phil Elvrum, un musicien d’indie rock. Phil est de Washington aux Etats-Unis. Il est très célèbre pour les fans d’indie rock. Il s’appelle « The Microphones » ou « Mount Eerie » quand il fait une performance. Quelquefois Geneviève chante avec Phil à ses concerts. Geneviève est un poète, aussi.
Geneviève est très importante pour les jeunes francophones, en particulier les jeunes de Québec parce que elle est une jeune femme réussie. Elle se respecte aussi, et elle chante toujours en français. Je pense qu’elle a la dignité.
On peut acheter les livres de dessins des Geneviève en ligne. Aussi, récemment, elle a contribué à un livre de « Drawn and Quarterly », un éditeur d’art célèbre. On peut aller au concert de Woelv ou peut-être Mount Eerie pour écouter sa musique. Aussi, on peut acheter un CD de Woelv en ligne ou à un magasin de musique locale. On peut acheter son livre de poésie en ligne, aussi.
Je suis allé au concert de beaucoup de musiciens en Août de 2004. Il s’appelle « Bloomingtonfest » et Woelv et Mount Eerie ont joué. Je pense que sa musique est honnête et elle chante de son cœur. Sa voix est tranquille et calme, et quelquefois triste. Mais, je suis heureuse quand j’écoute Woelv !

Pardon my blowing my own horn here, but for those who are interested, I've got seven new songs (including a cover of The Field Mice's "Emma's House") on a split with 7 new songs by the encyclopedias ( http://www.myspace.com/matthewnovak). You can hear some of each of our songs on our respective myspaces.

The split should be up for ordering sometime today, depending on when David gets around to updating the website.
