Collabo number four from Harpo25 and Frickinawesome
shows what happens when new music player technology wanders down the
wrong back alley of the music industry. Older music makers are bent
on taking back their former place of glory by any means necessary!
Police have no leads, but MP3's were found all over the crime scene.
More on this story as it develops...

badass... I think it'd work pretty well without the ipods, too.

Big Size
Detail on blue
2nd Detail on blue

I'd go with green... the blue's a little overwhelming somehow

yeah i like green too. That is pretty awsome!

This is really great, guys. I love the badass old gramophone. The ipods are really funny too... and I usually don't like ipod subs, but this one won me over. 5

nice, get those yuppies!

love the brick texture

Betamax would piss all over DVD!
T'is good but I'd want the ghetto blaster head to go with it like on the placement model. Would that be possible? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
5

i love the gramaphone!!!

you guys you guys! it's up! It's UP!!!! An FA COLLAB it's UP!!!!

$5! you guuuyyys!

if there were no ipods it would be a $5.. but I'm only giving it a 5

Thanks for the support so far folks!

I don't really understand people's complaints of ipods being in the design...who would the old-svhool gramophone, casette and casette player be looking at to beat to a bloody pulp without the harmless shiny new fragile ipod technology being in the forefront? But keep the comments comin!

hahahah . cute angsty characters!

I'm not necessarily in the "NO IPODS!" camp, but I think it's pretty obvious why the outdated music players are angry. One positive of the ipods not being there is that it looks like they're mad at us, which makes sense.

lol....gotcha shake. That actually does make sense now. Whichever people prefer more would be the way we'd go!

I'm not sure if I'll be in the minority on this but....I actually like the blue. For me, it better expresses the idea that the ipods 'wander down the wrong back alley'; the blue background with the spotlight make it seem more like a nighttime scene, and like the ipods are about to get mugged in the back alley! (Though I suppose the color won't be as big of an issue if you opt to take the ipods out. So, if the ipods stay, my votes on blue!)

Hahahaha, great work!

thanks guys!

this is a 5 the shirt does look good money green

(((((((((LOVE)))))))))

$$ FIVE DOLLAH $$

this is a cool design, but i think u need to follow through with the design all the way. for instance, u give the first to guys a pretty realistic face, than the tape's face is made from diff elements of itself. get what i'm sayin?

cute!

This is an awesome idea and is very well executed!

if the ipods weren't there i'd like it a whole lot more.

Ha ha - love it

Tho it would have been really cool with the little ipods playing jump rope with the headphones.

The cassette player chewing up the tape is a nice touch too. Mine always used to do that...

I happen to find this very funny! I think the iPods are essential to the flow of the shirt. Great Job Guys!!

awesome characters, love their expressions. $5

Another great one guys!

thanks guys!

i have a gramophone but not an ipod... i love their insipid, smiling faces. i love this shirt!

Great job you two! I adore the i-pods!!! I think the carefree smiles on their little faces add so much to the whole idea! I gave it a 5$!!! But Evan, that icon of yours REALLY makes me scared to see your collaberations! Maybe Harpo should go solo, and he'd get more votes! (just kidding).... good luck you guys!!!

AWESOMEEE $5
print!

Heh, heh...

GREAT $5

muchos gracias yo!

i think this is deadly!!!
the blue rocks!!

nice ;)

i might like it better if the old school were surrounding the ipods a little more

tired of old-school stuff vs new technology jokes. ok, i get it... we miss crappy old technology because thats what we all used when we were kids. la. boring. sorry.

This is actually not a joke about anyone missing anything...this is about old technology being pissed they aren't being used any more and have been tossed aside by the newer, more fragile audio equipment. And they are looking for a fight and will do whatever they have to to get back on top of the heap. So way to mis-interpret the design windsy!

no, i get the joke. im just saying that it appeals to people because it refers to old tecnology. thats the main reason people like it... its like, just mention something old...there you go.

pretty sweet.

i like the demented cassette the best.

windsy sounds like a hater lol

I think you're right, man! lol. It's cool windsy, you don't like the sub and that's ok, we all can't like the same things.

Some subs are like you say they are, but I feel this one isn't. There happens to be exceptional character work on this design created by Harpo25, and a dozen other neat smaller details going on here, but whatever.

As for your reasoning why most people like it, if you read above. most people mention the characters, not the nostalgia. And isn't nostalgia supposed to make things look cuter and more impressive then they were instead of turning old musical technology into hardened street punks?

Oh, and thanks for the comments everyone!

Nice design

Lol @ drama above

I really don't like the colours. Love the idea though.

sorry. i feel bad...

No need to feel bad Windsy. You stated your opinion, and am stating a rebuttal. I just think there's more than what you are saying this shirt and design's appeal is.

I agree with you on those designs that focus on a casette tape and a heart made out of the tape coming out of it and etc designs as being purely nostalgic. It just never even entered my mind when thinking of this idea or working with Bart on his amazing illustration about the nostalgia aspect of this design. Plus, who is gonna buy this shirt because they remember using a gramophone in their youth? lol.

I appreciate all comments so thanks for stating why you don't like this. It's a more than most people say when they hate a design!

LOL I like how the ipods are in the limelight

killerscore!

hahaha, great theme. 5
