well worn

By jbil | Published 09/12/2011

rossbeetrev loved this shirt and wore the hell out of it. I think that amount of fading is a hot look. Wearing it to the point of making holes like that, not such a hot look. I have a few variations of this tee. Always a crowd favorite. Itll be interesting to see if anyone takes him up on that starting bid or not.

H2O – FTTW

By b. murphy | Published 12/04/2010

Warning: this post contains copious amounts (not that copiousamounts) of name drops…

Last night, I had the good fortune of seeing H2O play Club Hell in Providence, RIX. You may have seen the tweets. I was stoked on the gig. Tom Z’s band covered Shelter. First time seeing Man Overboard, and they impressed me. I love a good pop punk set. And so did the kids. I saw a few superfans holding it down in the pit. And the H2O set was awesome. Lots of old classics, great first EP jams and first two LP jams. Most kids were super psyched on the new jams from Nothing To Prove. I can hang with the new songs, but the old jams are my favorite. Heard a rumor of a re-release of the first LP … Great gig. The H2O crew never fails to bring the mosh and stage dives. Great positive energy and excellent intros. The Cro-Mags, Black Sabbath and holy shit, Rusty doing Walking On The Moon by The Police was SPOT ON! Excellent times.

But before the gig even went down, I had the chance to hang with dudes at Nice Slice. Great little hang sesh. Sweet Pete, Chris “B9″ Wrenn & Jim from the Sully store (hope you traded an old cupcake for an old smoothie, dude), Toby H2O, Adam Blake, Connor from Energy … Where was Pike? He missed out. It was great to hear about Toby’s One Life One Chance work. Super positive stuff, and you can tell Toby is genuinely giving 110% to it. He’s been busting ass over the last week or two with talks AND H2O gigs. Not sure how he does it. Make sure to pick up one of those PMA tees. And if you want some new H2O gear, check the B9 store. Lots of stuff up in there.

Now what about this tee from dojoinc78? Great look here. You have to love that classic tattoo flash style. And I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy the FTTW album. When it dropped, I spent many hours blasting it on repeat. It didn’t hurt that I picked it up before driving from Boston to California. I was the overnight driver and Toby & Crew kept me alert on that long haul. That music may have been responsible for my severe lead foot on that trip too now that I think about it …

YOT – Not Bootleg

By b. murphy | Published 11/14/2010

pickyourkingdc is claiming this is a “bootleg” Youth Of Today shirt. Not sure who this dude is, but he’s been out of the game for a bit now. I’m not calling him ignorant, just unaware. What he’s selling is a shirt Revelation Records produced in the mid 90s for the re-release of the YOT LPs. You know, those records that were remastered and given new looks? Yeck. I’ll take my OG versions instead, thanks.

Hey Dingleberries

By b. murphy | Published 10/27/2010

Attn Dinglesberries.

Instead of buying a used Toby H2O One Life One Chance tee on ebay for more than $20, why don’t you head over to Toby’s estore and grab a brand new one for just $20? I’m guessing nyhcforlife doesn’t want me to say that, but for your benefit, you can save a few bucks that way.

One Life, One Change

By b. murphy | Published 10/23/2010

If you don’t keep up with Toby H2O, you may not know about this new venture, One Life One Chance. This new outlet has Toby speaking to classes all over the US, giving his personal brand of PMA and Hope. It’s a pretty smart gig and I wish I had thought of it first. #PMA and #SXE are my jam. Apparently, lackofspazz prefers One Life, One ChanGe, but that’s just him. You can grab his shirt, sure, but why not head over to Toby’s estore and grab a tee? It helps put him on a plane to connect with school kids from Cali to NYC. Just do it.

One Life One Chance

By b. murphy | Published 04/09/2010

Not sure if you saw, buy Toby has a new project.

And this is one I can really get behind.

If you know me, you know I’m all about the #PMA, and I’ve always been a big fan of giving back to the community, giving back to society.

Toby has done just that with his new project.

One Life. One Chance

Take a few minutes and check it out. And while you are at it, pick up this zip hood. Quality message, support h2o. I believe the seller is also a TTD reader, so she’s got that going for her too.

Have Heart Tour Of Broship Tee

By b. murphy | Published 01/09/2010

It’s funny

I just sent one of these tees to a guy in Chicago, and I’m already thinking about buying another one.

It’s just a super POS shirt, and I can support that kind of PMA.

Insted was probably one of the most positive bands to come out of California. Have Heart did their best to maintain that PMA throughout the last 5 years. I can appreciate that. Good look.

Unbroken Maybe In The Next World Tee

By b. murphy | Published 01/05/2010

First off, here is an Unbroken tee from the 1998 reunion. Probably very few made, pretty rare pickup for you Unbroken heads.

Now here’s my rant.**

I fucking hate everything that has to do with suicide. Something about it just makes me fucking mad at the world. Why you gotta fuck up your one shot on this earth? One life, one chance (shoot out to Toby1). I’m not a religious fellow. I don’t hang with Jesus, Buddha, or Krshna. If you do, well, god bless, but it’s not for me. Yes, I believe in a sense of karma, but that’s because I’m morally straight and have the PMA. For me, it’s just one spin. Why cut that spin short?

If you don’t like where you are in life, move. If you don’t like who you’ve become, change. If you don’t like your situation, get out of it. Nothing is more irrevocable than death. And I can’t think of any hardship or agony that can’t be overcome. Stick that shit out. PMA

Eric Allen RIP

** Disclaimer: This rant isn’t meant to be disrespectful to those who have passed. It’s just something that I had to get off my chest.

RJ’s – In EUR Face

By jbil | Published 10/09/2009

Rage of Discipline was so good. The 2nd record not so much. RJ’s had tons of great merch. This is one of them. Euro tour shirt with the subtle RJ print. Great colorway. This was sold on the 2005 EU tour. I was always jealous I didnt think of this design. shootouts to Rich Perusi i think.
