Sorry Naidoo, but as the innovator of Metal Monday, I reserve the right to say when it needs to take a week off, and this Monday especially it needed to take a week off. Cuz as I mentioned this morning, today is October 17, which makes it National Edge Day, which means we need to be seeing less metal memorabilia and more tees like this 10th anniversary Smorgasbord Straight Edge tee from thedevilstole. The only even remotely acceptable Metal Monday posts today would involve Earth Crisis and/or Strife. And I think Standhard would agree that even that’s pushing it.


Now, here’s the thing. What I REALLY wanted to post for NED is the NED2000/In My Eyes Last Show mini-documentary Revelation put up today for free viewing. Thing is, there are currently ZERO IME tees up to post about! So this is where I’m gonna go crazy on you with some 3 degrees of separation. Ok, so, as noted above, this is a Smorgasbord Straight Edge tee. In the late 90s, Follow Through started up, and they were on Smorgasbord, so they used Smorgasbord Straight Edge on their shirts. In this NED2000 doc, you can see a Follow Through varsity jacket prominently displayed on the shirtless form of Josh Say No, aka Jarvis from Head Automatica. Thus, that video is completely appropriate to post up with a Smorgasbord tee! IN YOUR FACE!
