ALO Wants to Siesta Contigo

Zach Gill, keyboard master in Animal Liberation Orchestra (ALO) sports the Vintage Vantage Siesta Conmigo shirt in this video of their CD release performance for "Roses & Clover" on May 5, 2007 at Amoeba Records in San Francisco.

Vintage Vantage loves ALO and their music like crazy. So much that we made a t-shirt for each one of them (and they're only $10).

ALO just spent a month in Hawaii recording a new album in Jack Johnson's studio, so keep your ears up for that. And watch out for Hot Tub fever.

Video here.

The supermarket ones are majorly trippy.

Does the grocery store you frequent have beach balls hanging from the ceiling? Why not?

Sweet Ass Packaging - Onion Ring Mix

The supermarket's graphical splendor bursts forth this week offering a beautiful box of Don's Chuck Wagon Onion Ring Mix.

The covered wagon sunset makes a man want to hitch his horse to a post and attack that basket of crispy battered onions.

We gave the preservative-free food dusting powder a try and found it very spicy and very salty but, on the whole, exceptionally decent.

Mucho Macho

While diggin' in the crates making new Linernotebooks, we came across the following advertisement for Village People gear, straight out of 1978.



Would you rather be at a discotheque in 1978 or at a warehouse rave in 1995? Why?

Vintage Vantage on MTV Detox

The hyperactive host of MTV's Detox: The Hills rocks Vintage Vantage on the reg.

Check him wearing I Can Explain* in this video, and wearing Mini-van a few episodes later.

We are so, like, trashy.

Hippies, Hipsters, & Light bulbs

Got a couple fun new light bulb jokes for ya:

How many hippies does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None. Hippies don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in sleeping bags.

How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Some number you've never heard of before.

Heard any good jokes recently? Best joke posted in the next couple of days gets a free shirt!

The hottest site to hit the Internet since Prodigy is definitely Awkward Family Photos.

We submitted one of our own Vintage Vantage company photos from 2004, let's hope it makes the cut.
