Tcritic by Karl Long | The Daily T-Shirt Blog Covering Indie Fashion and Design

March 28, 2009

Okay, so I wrote my first book at age 14. It was called the "Complete Dictionary of Coolish Language" and contained lots of definitions of such trademark terms like "Sweetopian" and "Awesomesauce" and "Spiffilicioustorioustacular". But as the book wore on, it begin to contain a bit more about the philosophy of everyday life.

Working with the theories of Aristotle and Plato, I posited that the designer T-shirt would be one of the most important objects in the future of objects, and that many future economies would run almost exclusively on T-shirts.

Now that that day is here, and has been for quite a while, a whole new class of critics has emerged. These critics are what I call the "Critics of the Neoticular Object", or "Those Who Blog Exclusively About A Singular Type of Object, One of Those Objects Being Something With the Social Gravity of a Designer T-Shirt". My good friend Karl Long (@karllong) is one of these people.

In addition to bringing the public the communication innovation that we know of as Nokia, he runs a blog about T-shirts. That is, he reviews T-shirts, he wears T-shirts, and he posts pictures of T-shirts. He's a T-shirt critic. And his blog, thus, is called Tcritic.

So, good folks -- if you are at all, and if at all I mean even slightly, interested in the goodness that one might call a T-shirt (remember these are the things that you have to wear, or else you are not allowed into most retail stores -- even Abercrombie and Fitch), then I suggest you check out this blog. It might be one of the most important things you accomplish all day, if not all week.

And if it is not, then you can E-mail Karl Long yourself and tell him that he failed to provide you with something interesting, because I'm only the message carrier here. I happen to think that his blog is pretty neat-o. So far, it is the only blog I've encountered that reviews T-shirts. If it is the only blog out there, then I think Long's work is sweetopian and innovative.

If he's not the first out there, I still think exactaly the same. Perhaps I am not digging deep enough in order to find a billion more blogs like this, but seriously -- a blog that reviews T-shirts is a pretty BOSS idea.

So, Tcritic is the name for the website. You can click on it there, instead of here, but I guess you could click here as well. Great hyperlinks! Golly Gadzoinks! This post is over.
