Be silent and just LISTEN

Hey there everybody?! I hope your Fall season wherever you are is going well. I came back from Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t want to come back. It felt like I was in Okinawa, Japan again. Anyhow, this blog is going to touch on one of my favorite clothing companies; LISTEN. If you rearrange the word “silent”, you have the word “listen”. The two words in life go hand in hand of course. The company was founded in August 2001 by two vinyl collectors known as The Revelli Brothers. You can learn more about the history of LISTEN by clicking on the link to their MySpace page. What turned me on to the company was during the time when almost ever turntablist was wearing the product with the simple logo of the company displayed on the front of the tee. My curiosity found me to do a search on the company and see what they were about.While looking at the variety of shirts they offered, I actually had fun trying to figure out what artists and/or important figure they displayed. I’ve actually got turned on to a lot of artists like “Black Sugar” because of simply viewing the shirt. LISTEN also had a branch in Japan. I don’t know what happened to the website they had for Japan, but it was cool. I had the opportunity to grab some Listen hoodies and shirts from Japan while I was stationed in Okinawa a few years ago. I wish they would make them available to peeps in States. Oh well! Don’t get me wrong things work the other way around for the people in Japan who wish they could get stuff from the States. Well, I hope LISTEN continues to make fresh gear and accessories for a long time. You can purchase LISTEN t-shirts and hoodies from The Giant Peach. If there is a clothing line you would like to share, reply to this post with your comment. Thanks for taking the time to read my post! Oh, one last thing. What artist is featured on the t-shirt I’m wearing in the picture on the right? LaterZzzzz! ALF
