Graphic Equalizer T Shirt - Beautifully Tacky!

It’s amazing isn’t it? Perhaps just amazingly awful. I’m not usually one for gadgets, read my rant on water-cooled t-shirts! Besides it doesn’t look like it’ll be long before everyone starts selling advertising space on their chest, they’ll probably even be able to detect impressions and clicks and BlueTooth it to the nearest available stockist. Then of course the salesbot will be chasing you down the street just because you threw a glance at a damn flashy t-shirt. Ah well, I digress, that’s the future, and you can keep it.

No, I’m breaking with tradition this one time, and if I was a little, well a lot younger, and single, and sozzled for the weekend, I’d probably be out clubbing with this on. Why? Well, it actually works, it’s not a hologram, it’s a real digital readout, it actually displays sounds levels, like a real graphic equalizer does! But that isn’t the best part, oh no, it has to be the comments on the sales page.

It’s a classic - “Mark - England Bought one for my mate, loved it myself that Iv got one now. We wear them to go clubbing and have all the lasses after us :P”. Lasses if you’re not au fait with the Northern English dialect means “women”. So there you have it, the greatest t-shirt ever made for man. I don’t care if it’s gimmicky, I can ignore the nagging feeling that perhaps this “digital readout” might not be quite as flexible as I first thought (who knows, send me a sample and I’ll tell you!). However Mark does have a good point about the lasses :p

It’s so uncool it has turned full circle and become cool again. I love retro t-shirts, retro art in general, it’s rather difficult to quantify, however I know it when I see it, and this is it. Beyond that, it is instant retro, fashion gadgets, someone needs to keep this one in the wrapper for the t-shirt museum (I know, I know, I throw these ideas away everyday :p ). My point is that someone with no idea about fashion has managed to create an instant retro classic, with the feel and basic technology of an old Arcade game, it won’t be long before lasses will be playing Pacman on strange lads chests across the country.

I’ll be missing out on the experience, but if you do buy one, post us a piccie of you surrounded by adoring lasses in the nightclub just to prove we are seeing history in the making here. Overall I am pretty much bowled over how such a simple idea can work so well. The bio-rhythmic feel, the fact that the colours respond to sound, the ethereal display of the technology at work as the beats roll by, I can see how, with enough drinks inside you it would probably rival the TV by five in the morning

Hurry, before another local Romeo steals all the lasses at the local nightclub, get it here.
