Weird Merch

There's no money left in music. Sure, many musicians make money left and right, but the last time someone made serious dollars off of selling their CDs – in a store, to human beings – it was like 1802. This is (quite obviously) because, at some point, everyone decided that music ought to be free, which is probably correct. But if you're a musician and want to make money off of selling your music, you're kinda boned.

So, what do you do? Well, you sell your fans something that can't be obtained by opening a google search and typing in "(album name) mediafire." There are shows, obviously, which are shows, and then, there is merchandise – t-shirts and shit. It’s the “and shit” that this post is chiefly concerned with. Thanks to the magic of Google, I found some weird stuff that musicians are trying to force into your vile, commerce-resistant hands. Check it out!
