Working at Planet we hear a lot of peoples opinions on music. The worst yet most entertaining part of overhearing these opinions is when you can tell a couple are on date number two and getting to know each others taste in music. This is important as should things work out you are going to have to listen to what he considers to be a 'Solid, solid, solid album' on several trips to Ikea. It is pretty vital to get this topic out in the open early on. Otherwise those trips to Ikea listening to shitty bootlegs of Foals and Modest Mouse will go on forever. (You have to really need that DIY gingerbread house to put up with that broken washing machine sounding crap)
My aunty once told me, "Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one. Doesn't mean you have to share it". I never took this advice to heart. I think it is better to get these things out in the open when necessary. Opinions that is. (I guess it goes for arseholes too!)
How much easier would the 2nd date be if you could just wear a T-shirt adorned with your favorite musician. Then if it all goes well on date number three you speak only in quotes from your favorite film. It would be a pretty straight forward compatibility test. So if one of you shows up in a dime a dozen Smiths Meat is Murder tee you know it isn't no big thing but could be a fun little fling and you could get some hilarious poems written for you that you could read to all your friends. If you both show up at Formosa wearing the aforementioned shirt you know IT IS MEANT TO BE and you both write awful poetry but because you live inside each others pockets nobody can tell you how disgustingly contrived and self indulgent it is.
Ignorance is bliss.
So who wants to present themselves as a dime a dozen loser breath wearing a mass produced unlicensed band tee? Not you.
That's why Planet Clothing are proud to stock the incredible range of House Of The Gods Tees designed by the folks at Buddhist Punk.
House of the Gods continues the great tradition of band tees which embody the spirit of our favourite music icons. Unlike unlicensed copies in the market, House of the Gods officially collaborates with The Rolling Stones, Blondie, Pink Floyd, Madonna, The Sex Pistols and many more artists bringing you original and authentic 100% rock attire. Available in both guys and gals styles it would be a match made in heaven. Imagine turning up for your second date wearing your incredible House Of The Gods Madonna Immaculate collection Tee with beaded eyelash embellishments and he vogues on in wearing his House Of The Gods Madonna Celebration tee.
You could bond over how Madonna introduced you to the world of false eyelashes and that the film Truth or Dare (the original U.S title of In Bed With Madonna) taught you how to give head. Then after one too many espresso martinis you could go home and make sweet, clumsy love to the Erotica album. The album your exes would never let you play when you were getting down to business. It would be the most wonderful 17 months of your life until he and his best friend go on a trip to Thailand and some pretty incriminating check ins come upon your Facebook and you can no longer ignore your suspicions.
You are pretty pissed and all that money you had been saving for a couples trip to San Fran is burning a hole in your pocket. So you stroll in to Planet Clothing after a few too many beers and grab a new House Of The Gods Debbie Harry tee and to buy the anniversary edition of Cabaret on DVD.
While looking at other musicals on DVD you spy a cool tall glass of water trying on a House Of The Gods tee with Nevermind The Bollocks on it. In your delicate yet empowered state you realise you are only on this earth for a good time not a long time and think he could be the Sid to your Nancy. You follow him to the bookshop (where all the best romances blossom) and you strike up a conversation about how Malcolm McLaren was a bit of a jerk ball. After two months you move in together and fly to New York with his band and get a room at the Chelsea Hotel. The rest is history.
Images of House Of The Gods tees coming soon. In the mean time come and check them out in store NOW before they sell out.
