Remember when credit card companies started letting you design your own credit cards? Yeah, well, they didn't like what I came up with

Regardless, the folks over at Harmonix are offering fully customizable merch at their site that further blurs the line between your fantasy life and your sad, sad, real life.....


“The products we will be offering through the Rock Band store go far beyond standard videogame fare and encourage Rock Band players to live in the real world of rock,” says Ryan Lesser, art director at Harmonix. “Just like with real bands, Rock Band bands need their own schwag too, so we’re giving Rock Band musicians a chance to order personalized t-shirts, posters, bumper stickers and more that are sure to keep any fan happy.”

T-Shirts.......$29

Posters......$14

Stickers (sheet of 6)..........$5

Bumper Sticker........$4

Shown: Official Joystick Division swag for sale or lend.

But it remains to be seen if I'll be able to purchase items for my band Pre-Teen Pussy Riot!! or my other band, Panic!! at the Disco!!, and put these on a shirt using the mish-mash of in-game, artist-created logos. I've contacted Harmonix with taste/copyright questions, and am eagerly awaiting their response. Until then, my band Episiotomy Juice will trudge forward.
