Wasn't Roy wearing this on The IT Crowd a couple of weeks ago? There are so many tiny music/comics references in it. I once terrified Graham Linehan in a club, not because I was gobsmacked by seeing him (as if!) but he was wearing an original Love and Rockets (comic, NOT band!) t shirt. I wa sgabbling at him about it and he backed away from me very quickly...

Roy was indeed sporting it. although i saw that episode after i saw the t-shirt / diagram.

the related shirt says: "Nothing Is Any Good If Other People Like It".

I'd get one, but......

A wonderous miscellany on STG, Blimpy (and I was little bit reassured to find I had half a dozen of them already). I love the quirky verbal thumbprints of each song. The Canadian element is understandable, but interesting that the Swedes are next - and there's a smattering of your adopted homeland too. Thanks for finding the time to root out these gems from the blogosphere.

Re the T shirt - those of us indie novitiates who follow in your footsteps have the pleasure of always being in Mr Venn's purple overlap. It's a nice place to be, so long as I can ignore your withering gaze!

Ooh, fun - but what it really makes me think is that it would be good to have a similar range of avant-garde jazz t-shirts... "What do you mean, noise?" "It's supposed to sound like that." "Beyond Abstract". A small white blob labelled "you and your world of conventional harmony" on a vast black expanse labelled "everything else".
