Steve Albini Sporting 'MX-80' Shirt
I was reading some pieces from the Baffler on line, and read a piece by Steve Albini, "The Problem with Music."

I looked up the Wikipedia article on him and noticed that the picture they have up for his article (Oct 2009) shows him wearing an MX-80 tee shirt...

You can see the image itself by clicking on the photo on the Wikipedia page, assuming it's still up when you read this. The image file metadata is here:

Comment by Bill Zink on November 2, 2009 at 12:31am - My favorite unsubstantiated rumor is that Albini name dropped TBW! along with MX-80 and the No Bar in a rant about Indiana punk rock . . .

Looks like the shirt was available in 1977...

so the real question here, herr proffessor, is how can we immanentize the image by locating a tee shirt of the same ilk for our very own?
and why can I post here and not in the 'scarcity' thread?

- The lesson we learn here is that the No Bar, in Muncie, IN—of all places—was the center of the universe.

If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.

ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…
John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
