Guess we have time to break into the third fun topic we wanted to cover: scifi fruit. We were going to review Rumble’s music section this week since we’ve spent a month on YouTube, but it takes about 5 minutes to figure out that’s not an actual thing since they don’t appear to have set it up. Oh well, sometimes you guess wrong. It’s too bad since they have that cool green Matrix theme. Moving on. The idea came from Animazement guest lecturing days and community theater, scifi’s favorite fruit is always the pitaya or dragon fruit family so let’s start there. Golden or yellow dragon fruit with the spines removed are in our opinion the best, but there’s a...
We’re on the edge of a really fun future. Get out and enjoy the beautiful sun. Maybe check out a new music concert or local band. T-shirts are always the big win when you see music take off. We don’t make them so check-out TS Designs, Hanes, and Gildan. You can also print your own t-shirts or check out your local shop in your area. We’ve personally had a huge uptick in requests for both sponsorship bags and custom outfits and wanted to take a post specifically on HOW to ask brands for sponsorships and what the realistic limits are. You can’t fault young musicians for asking the moon and brands do love sponsorship deals, but it’s really hard for...
We originally put the talented violin player, Lindsey Stirling, at the top of our shop list of most likely to win in the summer music wars, but took it off because we haven’t seen her do any scifi, we stand corrected. Her new song collaboration: Inner Gold nails it. The group obviously had fun making it. There’s so much Dune subtext in there it’s crazy which is timely with the Vogue/MET Gala Atlantis/Time Lords/Satanists Theme. Plus like 100 other scifi books, tv shows, and movies. Frank Herbert is one awesome dark scifi anti-hero satire writer on the fall of Atlantis. The entire design and crew team get a big win here. Tickets seem reasonable for shows averaging between $50-60 at...
Denim and cotton are beloved favorites of stitchers. It’s so fun to sew you often see it at Sewing Bees and charity events. Thanks everyone for sending us great cowboy music links on YouTube. It feels 100% wholesome. Maybe it started with Tucker and Kid Rock’s summer tour, Anthony Oliver, or Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter, but now the Sourcing Journal is talking about summer festival denim trends too. We love hearing about the sold out shows and people having a blast. Obviously, Hollywood has cut its shows by 50% from 600 to 300 so the music industry is riding the below the line talent wave, but it’s a good wave. Hollywood has imploded, multiple times, since it was created in the...
Some say the start of the last war and the remaking of the earth into a paradise begins with a trumpet, but if we had to guess it's going to include a few fiddles too. Found another great scifi violin artist: VioDance. Beyonce’s Cowboy Album seems to be hitting the charts with #1 and summer is a denim music festival trend. We did Space Cowboys in February fashion week for our collection because we loved it. This is unexpectedly nice. NYC FIT school also has a beautiful denim exhibit worth checking out. Win. Lindsey Stirling also did great this week, but she gets her own post just on Inner Gold. If you’ve seen the Star Wars bar music scene, you...
