ScoreKeeper Wants You To Know About Megageeky-But-Cool Film Music T-Shirts!!

Greetings! ScoreKeeper here with something so delightfully geeky that discussing it in public requires one to understand language born of an entirely new vocabulary. However, let this serve as a warning. If you’re only casually interested in filmmusic then don’t bother with this article. What I have to say is for the hard-score, the uber-passionate, and the unapologetic filmmusic-aholic. This article is for those who spend hours glued to filmmusic message boards defending the degree of intellectualism in John Barry’s music versus the music of Jerry Goldsmith in a gloves-off verbal death-match to the finish. Or for those who repeatedly click the refresh button on their web browser at 11:59PM awaiting the next Varèse Sarabande CD Club midnight release. For all those who ever laughed at Pukas…yes, this is for us! Look, I make no bones about it. I’m a film music geek. The volume at which I absorb all things related to film music would make most normal folk consider me legally insane. That said, it always puts a smile on face to find others not only sharing in my inexcusable whims of filmmusic passion but actively feeding them as well. Virtually meet Ray Barnsbury. He has reshaped the very definition of high-profile couture with a new filmmusic fashion line that has sent the world’s top designers like Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, and Yves Saint Laurent into a spiraling turmoil of panic. I mean, who wouldn’t want the first couple bars of the main theme from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) in handwritten manuscript silkscreened on the front of a fine black or white t-shirt? Maybe a few? Perhaps, but only because they’d rather have the first few bars of the JAWS (1975) theme, or the theme to STAR TREK (1979), or STAR WARS (1977), or BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985) or E.T.-THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL (1982). Yes, the only real problem is deciding…which one?

In addition to this lovely manuscript line there are also multicolored shirts with names of famous film composers emblazoned across the front.

Want to command a monopoly on attention at your next party? Walk in sporting an olive drab t-shirt with the name James Newton Howard etched over his initials in genuine imitation silver ink across your chest. Or perhaps the name of Jerry Goldsmith in a classic 70’s baseball script would express your desire for complete social domination a little more effectively? There are even designs to quell the uproarious demand from ardent female filmmusic fiends. Multiple designs. Multiple colors, Multiple sizes. Multiple compliments. To see the complete line. CLICK HERE to visit Ray Barnsbury’s web site over at Zazzle.com and place your order today. I picked up a trio myself a couple of months ago and haven’t worn anything else since. WARNING: Wearing these shirts may unintentionally provide effective means of birth control. Wear at your own risk.

ScoreKeeper!!!
