Looking for local clothing models for The Gits store

I am currently looking for local men and women (and anything in between) who would like to be apparel models for The Gits Online Store.

The images on the site are over a year old now, and with new merchandise debuting just in time for the holidays...it's time to get some new pictures! If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and might be interested, please read the following:

This is not a paid gig. You will however be comped some swag and reimbursed for travel (depending on where you're coming from).
I am looking for men and women the San Francisco Bay Area.
Photos are done in a casual session out in public places. For example, our last shoots happened at the Castro in SF and in front of popular urban art. I am always open to location suggestions.
To get a jist of how your images will be used, check out the Gits store.
I will need people to model: black Gits shirts for men, black Gits shirts for women, white Gits shirts for men and women, pull over hoodies and zip hoodies. Messenger bags, and possibly one other item.
I have a pretty flexible schedule to work with, and will show you the photos before they go up on the site. You will essentially be wearing the merchandise and be your cool self. I am not looking for a certain body type, ultimately I'd like to have a diverse group of people.
Check out these images of examples of the kind of photos I will be taking:

Shoots usually take about an hour, including getting to the location once we meet up.
If you would like your name mentioned in the image, such as "Model: Your Name" on the image itself. This is a great chance to get yourself out there and add something to your portfolio if you like. The goal is to do these photos before it gets too cold, windy and rainy.

If you are interested and live locally, email me at Beccajs@gmail.com so we can coordinate the make it happen!

The album art of Tommy by Mike McInnerney

People often ask me what my favorite album is. Without much thought I am able to answer them. The Who's 1969 album "Tommy" is my favorite record of all time. The album artwork also happens to be my favorite. Recently I was thinking about the album and how it affected me in my life. I decided to look up the Tommy album art and was surprised that I was unable to find any of it. I could find the cover, but never all the album art inside. The Tommy CD comes with a booklet with lyrics and a series of different illustrations. But they weren't on the internet. So this blog will be changing that! I just took out my CD booklet and scanned all the artwork. There are two versions of the cover, one featuring small images of their faces inserted into the gaps in the central sphere. The other is just the original work. Executives at The Who's record label insisted on having the band members pictured on the cover, so that's why there are two covers. Pete Tow...

The Duck Walk

In honor of Angus Young's birthday today I've posted a little bit about his famous stage moves which he channeled from Chuck Berry. Angus, of course had his own more erratic spin on the dance move and made it his own. Check out the difference... "A one-legged hop routine, and the "duck walk", which he first used as a child when he walked "stooping with full-bended knees, but with my back and head vertical" under a table to retrieve a ball and his family found it entertaining; he used it when "performing in New York for the first time and some journalist branded it the duck walk." I love this guy's "Duck walk tutorial". "Just follow these easy steps...literally."

[REVISED] Eddie Vedder's voice, the most emulated voice in music history?

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder has one of the most distinct and emulated voices in contemporary rock music. I feel like I spent the entire 90's hearing alternative bands copying Eddie's singing style. Just to show you how many artists have been said to sound like Eddie Vedder throughout time; Creed's Scott Stapp, Fuel's Brett Scallions, The Stone Temple Pilot's Scott Weiland, The Calling's Alex Band, Soundgarden's Chris Cornell, Lifehouse's Jason Wade, and some say Nickelback's Chad Kroeger have a similar sounding voice (don't shoot the messenger). And probably more than I can remember. When I continued to look into this stream of vocals that sounded the same, I came upon a quite obvious realization. Whether they know it or not, they are actually emulating Jim Morrison. It also makes sense that Eddie later played with the remaining Doors members and inducted them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This singing style wasn't just ho...
