Agree, it's definitely deliberate choice. I didn't buy the Young Offender t-shirt for this very reason. I did get a Jack The Lad one but it's "not really me." Meanwhile, the Sexy Northerner t-shirt has my name on it.

I like to think I am a Sexy Northerner. I definitely qualify for the second part through place of birth and have been told more than once and by different people that I qualify for the first. So if/when that t-shirt appears in the PSB online store, I am buying one. And I will wear it in public. And I hope it starts conversations with strangers and will be disappointed if it doesn’t.
"Hey guys, I'm a ___" Young Offender, Fugitive, Sexy Northener.
Hey guys, I'm Jack the Lad.
It has to be deliberate, selecting song names that are applicable in this way.

It doesn’t fit that theme… but I’d buy SAD ROBOT WORLD at the drop of a hat.

Then there's I'm With Stupid, which is of course a song named after a t-shirt.

Such a delight, watching the concert footage.
I'm very happy with how the two Obskur concerts went. Makes me proud to be a PSB fan.

Yeah, I got that one and the arrow is pointing up. I had to explain the concept of irony to someone who asked about that shirt ("why would you wear this?")Richard-Eastham wrote:Brilliant!Vintage Youth wrote: Wed 15 Jul 2026, 11:10 pm Then there's I'm With Stupid, which is of course a song named after a t-shirt.Of course, and that track absolutely should be given its own t-shirt!

Brilliant. BRILLIANT. Attention, PSB marketing people. You should really pick this one up before the bootleggers do!
Can you imagine, PSB standing on stage staring out at a theatre full of One of the Crowds?

I'm not a typeface expert but the Cabazon and Gothicus fonts are close to that used for OBSCURE

Thanks, I'm trying to retrieve them.minimalpsb wrote: Tue 21 Jul 2026, 11:30 am Does anyone have a dimeadozen Account ? I ask because one guy recorded both Obskur Shows in Berlin !
We do have continuous Youtube videos of the show, but these 2 audio-only bootlegs could be pretty good quality.
Will see if they respond to my request.
Of course, and that track absolutely should be given its own t-shirt!
