Vintage Rare

Here are some more information for Vintage Rare:

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Amigos gets. Amigos stated simply is one of Santana's best CDs to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn't a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Amigos is a nicely varied, mix of 7 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

I'm of the opinion that Amigos is certainly Santana's best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it's a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Take Me With You, track 5 - Tell Me Are You Tired, and track 7 - Let It Shine

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Dance Sister Dance. Good stuff!

Is there a GOOD store out there for RARE or VINTAGE band t-shirts or music merchandise? Old-school Goth rock.?

'GOOD' meaning reliable, with at least a decent selection of products. I am looking for old-school band t-shirts that might now be considered 'rare' items. I am especially interested in t-shirts with intriguing graphics that are catchy or obscene, & maybe even considered legendary in their own right. My musical taste follows the likes of Marilyn Manson(& the Spooky Kids), Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Jack Off Jill, David Bowie, Type O Negative, 10,000 Maniacs, Coal Chamber, & anything that might have flocked to the Batcave Club. PLEASE do not suggest Hottopic or Spencers; This is exactly what I am NOT looking for. I am searching for something other than the tasteless crap that hangs on the racks of every alternative store in your local mall. PS: I'm not too stingy on the legalities of re-printing t-shirts, if you catch my drift
