The Raconteurs Tour Edition Stylophone

Looking for the perfect gift for a friend and for yourself?  Might we suggest the Raconteurs Tour Edition Stylophone.  I guess you'd describe it as a mini-synthesizer, controlled by a pen-sized stylus? But we could never explain it as well as this video by a young lady with lovely hands.

 

 

New Sonic Youth stuff

 

Sonic Youth books

Check out the Sonic Youth page for new items, including T-Shirts and posters from the last show at McCarren Pool.  Also, check out the Sale, and the new Super Sale sections of our site, as we make room for new mwechandise.  We're solving this International Economic crisis, one T-shirt sale at a time.

New Panda Bear tees!

Noah Lennox as Panda Bear

We've added some Panda Bear tees and we'll be adding more Animal Collective merchandise in the next few days.  It feels like Christmas already!

UPDATE: HOLY CRAP!  These sold like crazy!  We're already reprinting them and we'll be adding a version on white tees, in addition to the already classic Baltimore Oriole orange T-shirt!

Congratulations!

The Obama family victory wardrobe

To the Obama family!  They received a 10% discount on their next purchase by sending us this photo of themselves, with each family member wearing an outfit purchased from The White Stripes online store!  Oh, and congratulations on that other thing too!

Yummy Fun?

Yummy Fun Cooking DVD

What's Yummy Fun? It's just a cooking show for kids. In the same way that Pee Wee's Playhouse was just a Saturday morning show for kids. But wait! I used to stay up ALL night to watch Pee Wee in the morning and he somehow made the morning light seem nicer and less menacing. Yummy Fun is, at once, as calming as Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and as wonderfully strange as Mr. Herman's Playhouse. Oh, and that Yummy Clare is just the best. Check out the trailer here.  Order the DVD's here.

Welcome MGMT

 

MGMT Naked Psychedelic Bath Routine

We have lots of great additions to the Kung Fu Nation roster for the Holidays.  We're very happy to welcome MGMT to the list.  Check out the new items in the MGMT store and if you live outside the US, you have a great chance to see them before the end of the year.
