These Look Much Better In Blue.

By morgado | Published 05/18/2012

Got a pair here from savagelacix631 that we have seen before, but this time they are in a color scheme that I think is much more pleasing to the eye…

We usually see the MAD magazine Murphy’s Law tee in maroon, and it usually doesn’t move (BOO). This one is sadly showing similar signs, sitting at under $2. That can’t even buy you a beer anymore (I mean, I assume). The TWS ls I actually need, believe it or not: I don’t like the red print, and I wear a Large. Alas, what I have is a red print in Large and a blue print in Medium. One of these days I’ll have to get around to putting em up… assuming this one shows it to be worth my while, heh.

Morgadooooo, where are you?!

I figured that you would have hopped on this, oh well!!!! I will have to post this for you in your honor. It might be because I’m a girl, but I like the pink version of this one so much better. I remember getting it at a show in Brockton, maybe at the place next to Romans? I don’t really remember if it was that place or just Romans. Seller beastfromtheeast618 says this is brand new and never worn, he must have been keeping this diamond hidden away for the past 6 years or so.

Morgado for saleeee only 99 cents

I’m clearly showing my age here and I was a little kid in 93. For some reason when I saw this Wrong Side shirt that enjoid3 is selling all I could think of was the song “Brother for sale” that was on Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s first video tape.
Morgado is such a gem that I think he is worth more than the five dollar BIN for this shirt, possibly six dollars!

TWS Pink LOC.

By morgado | Published 10/07/2011

Seller compact105 dates this Wrong Side tee at 2007 or 2008, but brother you are wayyyy off on that one…

Now, it certainly is likely he picked this shirt up in 2007 or 2008 (it’s an XL, and XL’s had a bad habit of sticking around in the bottom of the merch bin until about 2009), but this design actually is from 2005. They were made for the Terror/Righteous Jams/Wrong Side/COA show at Roman’s on May 7 of that year (tho it was actually moved next door to the Mallard). Two versions were made: one with pink ink (because we made girl shirts) and one with white. I don’t know why we did men’s sizes with the pink ink, I think it may have just been a popular ironic style at the time that I wanted to dip my beak into (I know Death Threat also had men’s tees with pink lettering around then too). I actually just found yet another XL of this in the bottom of an old bin the other day… guess I should keep my eye on where this ends, eh?

Noose – An Awkward Look

By b. murphy | Published 08/28/2011

Nooses. Tough look to pull off in public. I remember reading this story from acrucialdood somewhere. B9?

pretty offensive based solely on imagery. it was awkward in college getting on the campus bus wearing this not knowing one state over there was a pretty big news story involving a hangman’s noose and some racially-charged speech. NO WONDER THEY ALL LOOKED AT ME WITH DISDAIN! true story.

I can picture that. I never got down with this one. But hey, that’s me. For a $5.50 BIN, maybe that’s the look for you. For $5.50, you better cut the sleeves off.

And then there is the band Noose. I remember talking to Bucky at Sound And Fury 2011. He was telling me about how kids went APESHIT for this shirt. He said the more offensive looking they made their shirts, the faster they seemed to sell out. It seems to work. Not sure I can hang, but I sure was a fan of the band. Plus, vegan straight edge. You know I’m backing that. Grab this Noose shirt from smittywestoc. -20 scene points for him … Hang ‘Em If They’re High Tour 2011. Damn.

Why Buy This When You Can Buy This:

By morgado | Published 08/23/2011

Apologies to enjoid3, but this Wrong Side tee was a terrible, horrible idea. I should know: I designed this abortion. Don’t buy it unless you’re a completist.

No sir, don’t buy it. Especially since due to popular demand, for a limited time you can head over to Shop Shogun and buy the revamped version from last months show with Cro-mags:

Fresh for 2011 you suckas!

True Stories Of Fake Racism.

By morgado | Published 08/11/2011

A true story about this Shop Shogun sold Wrong Side tee from acrucialdood, and one I can indirectly back up as legit.

it was awkward in college getting on the campus bus wearing this not knowing one state over there was a pretty big news story involving a hangman’s noose (a lynch mob noose is not the same as a hangman’s noose- ed) and some racially-charged speech. NO WONDER THEY ALL LOOKED AT ME WITH DISDAIN! true story.

Why can I back this up as legit without having been there? Flashback to Edge Day 2007, when I got a phone call mid-show (I was in NY, not at that years show). One of my friends happened to be wearing this tee, and the National Geographic producer started telling at him, wanting to know why him wearing a racist shirt was tolerated and lecturing him over it being offensive. Which I thought was hilarious, since there is nothing inherently racist about a noose or a hanging. But this has must have been around the same time as the incident mentioned in the seller’s story, so I totally believe that a public bus would get you just as many dirty looks. Punk fn’ rock, I guess. Shame my friend arguing with the producer didn’t make it into that crappy show…

When I posted about the Wrong Side NWA rip off tees from our lone California show, I mentioned that we had also done a small amount of crew necks to go with ‘em (no, I don’t remember exactly how many, you’d have to ask Andy from L.I.O.N., he hooked up the merch that day. I want to say below 10 though). Well, surprise surprise, seller savagelacix631 has shown up with one available for your TWS/NWA repping needs…

Real Bands Don’t Die.

Seller chainxcrew says:

I don’t know much about this shirt but I’m sure Chris at TTD can shed some light! REAL BANDS DON’T DIE!

The story behind the shirt is pretty eazy to tell. We did one West Coast TWS show, in March of 2006 at Chain Reaction in Anaheim. Since it was a Cali show, we made 100 or so N.W.A. “efiL4saggiN/Real Niggas Don’t Die” rip off tees (the Real Niggas rip is on the back, check the auction for the pic), along with a handful of crewnecks. The show was with L.I.O.N. and More to Pride (I think it may have been their first last show), and maybe Piece by Piece as well. There were multiple angles filmed of all the sets, but all I’ve ever seen of ours was a 30 second snippet of War of Words that used to be on youtube. It’s gone now, but the user who had it up still has the L.I.O.N. Crew intro up…

TWS line up for the show was me, DFJ, Martin on guitar, and Foster on bass. We intro’d with the beginning of Life of Agony’s This Time. If any one has any pictures from that gig, or even one angle of the video, holler at me in the comments.

Morgado Art Collection.

By morgado | Published 04/28/2011

Since I’ve been spending more of my week on art then posts, I figured it might be appropriate to post up these three auctions (with BINs. High ones) from ragingbull20. Why? Because I did the design/artwork for all three.

This was based off a doodle I made while we were recording the lp with Jamie Locke. Obviously it was playing off the Feeding Time at the Zoo title for the intro. I think I may have even literally given Greg a drawing no bigger than a napkin.

I actually didn’t even know this version of the first War Hungry design I did made it on a tee. The original drawing had the band name under the tank/goblins, with a smiley face nuke cloud in the background, and they had all been drawn separately. So on a whim, or maybe in case they didn’t like the nuke cloud, I pasted up the sideways version used above.
