Welcome to the Parallel Gooniverse
I realize we are all getting a bit sick of the bOINGbOING-esque repetition level of this topic, but I believe you’ll forgive me for bringing it up again by the end of this post. This morning on the train, there was this typical bedhead guy, and he’s wearing a effing Goo tshirt. As I’m thinking about how weird this is, I notice the shirt looks way too new to be an OG Goo tshirt, at least not one that was ever worn. So I’m thinking, is like Urban Outfitters reissuing classic 90s alt rock t’s (how good of an idea would that be btw?) So then the guy turns around. The back of the shirt says “MARC JACOBS 2008”. The Oracle at Mountain View reveals:
- Marc Jacobs had SY play a recent fashion show in NYC, maybe more than one?
- He put a Goo/Marc Jacobs T-Shirt on the back of each chair.
- He gave out some sort of gift box or bag with the Goo art on it. Thurston Moore was pissed he didn’t get one (what do you think was in it? Scharfen Berger chocolate bar and a Skulltones cassette?)
Who would have thought WFMU and Marc Jacobs would ever be so on the same wavelength?
Also, caution demands I remind you that he who makes a bride of the zeitgeist is soon widowed.
