BREAKING: "Sexy Results" to receive new physical format release

Folks, it's a whole new game of tiddlywinks out there. Kids who were born in the early 90s and thus have no memory of a world before the internet are consuming music now, and if they're all like this Emily goofball over at All Songs Considered, none of them place any value whatsoever on recorded music. Like, none. (They may or may not place value on raw yet sentimental vocals or nostalgic songs about hometowns, best friends, ex-girlfriends etc., but that's neither here nor there.) Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, you've got Old Rocker Dudes railing against the new paradigm like it's a murder of windmills (DISCLAIMER: i'm not sure that's the collective noun for windmills). "Your refusal to pay for music killed my friends," and so forth, all the way to sort of sticking up for the way major labels used to do business. What the what?

With all this yelling and gnashing of teeth about, it's clear that some thinking outside the box is A Thing That Should Happen now. With that in mind, let's go back to Emily's blog post:
As monumental a role as musicians and albums have played in my life, I've never invested money in them aside from concert tickets and T-shirts.
Hmmm...t-shirts, you say...??

ITEM! IFIHADAHIFI TO RELEASE Songs From Sexy Results: Cedar Block's Dig for the Higgs and How the Quest Was Won IN DARING NEW T-SHIRT FORMAT




That's right, fools -- these dapper new "Captain Kitty" tees will cost $12 and include a download code that will permit the fashionable music aficionado to add our latest sonic misstep, Songs From Sexy Results: Cedar Block's Dig for the Higgs and How the Quest Was Won, to their iTunes or equivalent digital music exhibition system via our Bandcamp site. We're not entirely sure about this, but this may make IfIHadAHiFi the first Milwaukee band to ever release a record on cloth, although it obviously isn't the first ever Milwaukee band-related release onto a t-shirt (amirite Gordon Gano?). 

Sexy Results Captain Kitty t-shirts will be available for purchase at the 2012 PRFBBQ in Chicago on June 30 and July 1. And yes, many of them will be pink. We're certain that with this torso-hugging apparel on your back, you'll be guaranteed some truly sexy oh god i'm sorry i almost actually made that joke.

If you're wondering why the blue hell a t-shirt featuring a Sexy Results download features artwork from Nada Surf +3, you just shhh your pretty little head. Ain't none a' yo' concern. (Hint: IT'S A GODDAMN KITTY.)
