Our Top Albums Turning 20 in 2014!
New year is all about looking ahead and thinking what the next year could possibly have in store for us, be it in our personal lives or maybe just what amazing new music, movies and TV shows will change our lives and have us thinking....how did we live before this?!? What did we listen to or watch??
Just for a cheeky change and to add some extra little reminder that you now need to write 2014 and not 2013 on everything (it can take us a wee while) we thought we would take a look back at what we were loving a massive 20 years ago now and perhaps scare ourselves a little at how not long ago that really feels!
Yep this year, if you haven't already realised, all the albums that were released back in 1994 will be turning a milestone 20 years old!! Can you believe it?! It was a truly great time for music with so many bands we still love now first hitting the scene and of course some others we'd much rather forget.
With an almost disbelief and slight feeling of our age now, we thought we would take a quick look back to remind ourselves what was hot back then and what classics have been with us for two decades now (sorry). Enjoy!
Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album)
Their debut studio album which included some songs you might remember such as "Undone - The Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly", and "Say It Ain't So", this amazing album really launched them into big mainstream success but sadly only reach the number 23 spot in the UK charts. For shame!
We love TruffleShuffle tees just as much as you do!
Working for the biggest online retailer of cool t-shirts, we see our fair share of amazing tees hit the shelves...! But which ones have stuck out? Do we have a favourite..and why do we love them so much? I've grabbed 10 minutes with a few of my favourite TruffleShufflers and asked them about their fashion tee-ndencies while they've worked here, and what generally makes them tick when it comes to the world of retro! Enjoy!
First up is James, the designer for TruffleShuffle (he's the one responsible for all the cool t-shirts - so we should probably take 5 minutes to applaud his geniusness!)
Favourite t-shirt ever produced? - Old Skool Gamer T-Shirt. I've been a massive computer game fan since I was about 10, so to get the opportunity to design a T-Shirt featuring all my favourite consoles and controllers was a bit of a treat.
Favourite range you've ever designed? - Sesame Street is always really fun to work with, they've got such a versatile range of characters and we're always allowed to do quite weird and wonderful things with them. Whether we've got Elmo and the gang crossing Abbey Road, joining a rock group or even recreating the Trainspotting movie poster they always make it look cool!
What was your first t-shirt ever purchased from TruffleShuffle? - My first T-Shirt from TruffleShuffle was one featuring Pac-Man and one of the Ghosts taking over Tokyo, it managed to look retro and modern at the same time and is still one of the favourite items in my wardrobe! It came from Chunk clothing who are always experts in doing weird mash ups with their characters.
Mixing it up with our fresh new music tees!
We love a good mash-up at TruffleShuffle and these brand new funky T-shirts certainly fit the bill! Quirky brand Cool Toons have added a humorous twist to some of our favourite hip-hop acts on an awesome line of music T-shirts that dares to be different.
Holy Moly! Inspired by one of the greatest hip hop acts ever, Run DMC, this Nun DMC offers a whole new take on the timeless rappers!
Snoop Dogg and the humble amphibian the frog come together on this funny Snoop Frogg design. Hip Hop to it, you wouldn't want to miss out on this cool tshirt!
This Beastie Soys tee just made us chuckle so much when we first saw it! Quite an unusual combo to say the least. So fight for your right, to be different!
Our favourite Photographic t-shirts....say Cheese!
They say a picture says a thousand words - here at TruffleShuffle, we like to think a photograph says a thousand cool words!
We have a bustling collection of Photographic t-shirts, so thought we would share our top 'pics' with you!
Exclusive to TruffleShuffle - our range of Thunderbirds t-shirts includes a Parker t-shirt - capturing cockney chaffer Aloysius "Nosey" Parker to a tee!
With David Bowie making a (very welcome) comeback - it seems only fair that he's included in our selection! Featuring a super cool image of the star - these Amplified t-shirts would make an awesome addition to any music t-shirt collection!
Fight for your right to be retro....
Here at TruffleShuffle we have an excellent range of music t-shirts. We've got designs featuring Blondie, Blink 182, Kiss right the way through to Guns N Roses and The Who. But one new design that caught my eye the other day isn't very obvious as a music t-shirt.......
Its a t-shirt that is worn by Ad-Rock from the Beastie Boys in the video (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!). Its a Physical Education t-shirt for a New York high school, Stuyvesant High School. Fight for Your Right is one of the most popular Beastie Boys singles and was their fourth release from their 1986 debut album Licensed to Ill.
This t-shirt is for fans of the more subtle retro look and will get you that 'knowing nod of appreciation' from other Beastie Boys fans.
