Hale Links: Volume 23
posted September 21, 2005 #
In tribute to his link sent earlier, let's have another installation of Hale Links (Volume 23):
Sloths - if you don't think these guys are adorable, you're nuts. C'mon, look at this one in a cardboard box! Adorable to the core.
LE Grandaddy Shirts - order a Grandaddy shirt from Insound, get a design that won't be made ever again. Sort of a gamble but a safe one if you love Grandaddy. Note, after seeing the design I will certainly pass but I really enjoy the concept of limited edition shirts (a new design for the next five months).
Indie Goes Mainstream - sort of a fluffy article about the fact that Death Cab, Modest Mouse, and several other bands are finding success on major labels despite being considered "independent." The jist is this: 1) The term "indie" will no longer bear any meaning, much like "emo" doesn't really mean anything. 2) People will forget that being an indie band means that you are signed to an independent label - not Atlantic, or Virgin, or Sony, etc.
Abduction Dog Tags - fear being abducted by aliens and have no way to get home? These dog tags should help quell that fear.
Boombox Central - basically if you really want to make that "ironic" 80's hipster Halloween costume complete, you need to pick up one of these ghetto blasters. Though I will admit that this guy is pretty sweet.
Extreme Shaving - "it's pretty much as dumb as it sounds." [ Example ]
LED Bathtub - if you love taking baths, this will take you to the futuristic extreme! Kitsch to the max.
Unreleased Fight Club Trailer - I saw this posted on Golden Fiddle but the link wasn't working.. now it is apparently. A very bizarre trailer for Fight Club featuring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt playing a song dedicated to the penis. Sort of awesome in a weird way.
