Plenty of Hoopla but STILL NO FREEBIES!






OK So apparently the NY DAILY NEWS picked up on our story and confronted Mr Franco yesterday---

"What? That's ridiculous," Franco exclaimed. "We completely created that shirt and that shark. David wanted me to wear a purple Monterey Bay T-shirt with a whale on it. I said I wasn't into the whale shirt, so he came up with his own design, which was the shark."


Pretty quick on your toes Mr Franco, but I gotta admit it's the rest of the article that paints your real picture.........

Girl: You look familiar.

Franco: I dunno. Have we met?

Girl: I saw you on screen an hour ago.

Franco: On the street?

Girl: No! On the movie screen! You were in the movie we just saw!

Girl 2: I loved it. I'm [Name redacted].

Girl: I'm [Name redacted]. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Franco: Hi. I'm James.

Girl 2: Where are you from?

Franco: Well I'm moving here to New York City very soon ...

Publicist (interrupting): You know girls, this is the Daily News right here ...

Daily News: Give me two seconds, and then you can tell him everything that you ever wanted to.

Girl (grinning widely): Like all my favorite sexual positions?

Franco (turns to the Daily News and smirks): I'll borrow your tape recorder for that!


I've got to admit I didn't expect you to be so cunning, Mr Franco. Way to win over the nerd from the Daily News with some poon. I guess if I had submitted my original pic of the shark-cat shirt on a some hot half naked chick then everybody would jump to my defense a lot quicker.

ANYHOOCH

Still no word of my free passes. Plenty of bloggers jumping in on this potboiler though and we appreciate it . Thanks for all the sharp comments too.


OH And as you can see in the above photo the original shark-cat shirt is now avail in that cool dark heather grey all u kids seem to love. buy one here!!!!

WOWCH DEMANDS SATISFACTION





(click on any of these photos for a larger view)

YEAH We've boiling over this one for awhile now. The makers of Pineapple Express ripped off WOWCH bigtime. In 2005 we made 500+ of those Cat-In-A-Shark shirts for Urban Outfitters
that were heavily distributed in their larger markets like LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK. Here it is 3 years later and drug dealer bro in pothead movie supreme is wearing a faded grey tshirt with the exact same concept on the shirt.......only there's a catch. WOWCH DID NOT MAKE IT.

Here's what Mr James Franco had to say in a recent interview with Hollywood.com--

HW: Can you describe your shirt to our readers?
JF:
This is actually a David Gordon Green design. There is a I think it’s supposed to be a Great White shark although it’s a bit shaded so it’s black. There’s a kitten in it that looks serene. It’s almost like it’s sleeping. I think the shark is not eating it, but carrying it to safety. The kitten was left out in the ocean and this shark decided to put it in it’s mouth and carry it to shore.



WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. That cat's dead dude. Eaten Alive. Franco is crediting the director of the film, David Gordon Green, with designing the shirt. Man how'd Mr Green do that? Oh I see....he faded and darkened the grey, flipped the design, and change the cat from white to yellow. But hey ya know maybe James Franco got it wrong, like about 90% of his career choices since Freaks & Geeks. He kinda lucked out with his reoccurring, albeit cardboard- like performance in the Spiderman movies , cos most of his roles seem like the script landed on his desk after it was turned down by Ryan Gosling, Colin Farrell, That 70s Show cast, Paul Walker, Johnny Knoxville, Shia LaBOOF, Stiffler, and Cuba Gooding Jr.

Does a JUDD APATOW production think they can rip us off? Well according to some lawyers we chatted with, yeah kinda. Regardless, WOWCH is above financial demands and outrageous court costs. Cosmic retribution is heading your way ya funny movie guys and we've only got ONE DEMAND.

GIVE US FREE PASSES AND POPCORN. AND MAYBE A LARGE SODA THAT WE WILL PUT 2 STRAWS IN.

Fair is Fair. I want everyone who reads this to pass it on. Repost it. Link it. Hyperlink it. Evite your co-workers. Read it to the blind. Use the word VIRAL. Lets put the internet to use for once and get me some freebees! Somebody out there has to have a cousin or a pal in the industry that could easily forward this to somebody else that knows Mr Green or Mr Apatow (don't bother sending it to Mr Franco, I don't think he has much pull). I know for a fact that several of my friends claim they're 'down' with Spike Jonze, well prove it dudes cos everyone in Hollywood would listen up if they got an email or a text from him. WOWCH DEMANDS SATISFACTION. WE WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE. Matinee discounts won't cut it this time.

OH BY THE WAY. We're bringing that shirt outta retirement. $25 each.
Wanna buy one????? click here!!!

GAWKER picked up on this. Check it out -----> here.

BLIP ON THE RADAR
























Yeah for some reason Tokion did a lil summer tshirt photoshoot for their website/blog. I'm not sure why either. I'm gonna assume Uniqlo paid for it cos their shirts are all up in it, as well as Tonite, Built By Wendy, and Lead Derby. Regardless there's no such thing as lousy press, plus the pics are kind of pleasant in a real harmless, breezy fashion. So enjoy some summer jams while gazing at the youthful blissful tshirt scene.

TODD IN 2H






SO Yeah as you may have noticed from the above photos my neighbor surfer dude Todd in 2H is kind of a big deal. I've spent so many sleepless nights contemplating how such a nice dude has so many celebrity bigshot friends. Finally it hit me. He's a stalker! Or maybe a really successful grifter. No silly he's a NYC artist! When I first was introduced I was told he's the guy who paints bands live while they're performing....Dinosaur Jr and Guided By Voices to name a few. Young Hip bands too I just don't remember which ones. He told me he was hired by Nylon to paint the Misshapes DJ at art basel the other year and that afterwards they awkwardly asked him if they could have the painting. His answer was like yeah if you give me 20 grand.

He's having a big party on Tuesday at Santa's. I get to DJ with that 70s show guy and I promised Todd I wouldn't be snarky to him. I swear guys I'll be on my best behavior.

here are some of of my fav jams right now. enjoy!

Jet - Antler
Television Personalities - How I Larned to Love The Bomb
Simple Minds - I Travel (extended 12)
Cheap Trick - Everything Works If You Let It

I WENT MAD And Hit ROCKBOTTOM.

Jeez Louize I have not been a faithful blogger lately. whats my problem????

I blame the following 2 videos along with Mr Michael Schenker.Yeah he was a sweet guitar player and by the time he was 17 had already been in the Scorpions and UFO. Eat shit Conor Oberst.



crap. UFO performing Rock Bottom live on German TV is even better, but the jerkwad who posted it disabled the embedding. Anyway if u wanna see some guy in a suit on acid take his clothes off and dance on stage click on this link here


So yeah these vids back2back must of tapped into some bizarro wasted alter ego of mine cos my brain has been operating on a different frequency ever since. Lets just hope I don't start wearing a denim vest with no shirt this summer.

hey while we're at it why don't u DOWNLOAD these jams in MP3 form and lose your shit walking to the subway every morning?

I'm Going Mad

ROCK BOTTOM

oh BTWs Pizza Party Happy Hour Returns next week.....I'll post a flyer soon!

LONGEST GOODEST FRIDAY



hey what can I say. I'm a bad friend. I want my blog to be so gosh darn good that if i can't focus all love towards it I just completely ignore it like one of my future stepchildren. but anyway.....



got a full page in the current issue of NYLON (the kills are on the cover----man they are so cool smoking cigarettes on stage and wearing all black and leather. how original) . Its some article on American fashion in England? or English fashion interpreted by americans? I dunno man to be honest I got bored 2 paragraphs into the silly thing. All I know is that UK shops and showrooms have always been snooty to us so sorry guys aint gonna see WOWCH on that side of the pond anytime soon. Regardless I think we all can agree that the pic is topnotch one of the best I've ever seen any wowch in. word.



Yeah I guess not many people know my animosity for most museums and galleries in general.
But man the new $64 million NEW MUSEUM on Bowery is right by my JMZ stop so I have the displeasure of having to 'Logan's Run' by it every other day of the week. The future is soooo awesome......and clean! Anyway the worst part is that its set up right next to a couple of homeless shelters so I get the unfortunate juxtopostion of tourists and art students waiting in line to buy crap from the gift shop a few yards away from haggard street people waiting in line for a meal and shelter. UP YOURS New Museum. Ya looked more the part when you were on Broadway next to Victoria Secret.



its my old friend Cara's bday tonite. J Penry are gonna play goth and synth tunes ala OUTLAND back in the college days. here are some tunes for your troubles....they cover all todays subject matters and a lil bit more. whoopie!

The Long Good Friday

Slip It To The Android
