Sonic Youth, Joy Division, and Radiohead goodies

I’ve been scouring the city—admittedly, not for an eternity—to track down some patches or badges featuring artwork from these or similar bands. So far, my luck has been abysmal; the only thing I managed to stumble upon was an Unknown Pleasures t-shirt over at a local record shop and a single Unknown Pleasures badge, and that was it. As for finding anything related to Radiohead... nothing. Not even a trace of Sonic Youth. 😢
I’d also be interested in picking up some Bauhaus or Sigur Rós gear, among other things, though I highly doubt such items even exist in the US....
Does anyone have any actual, useful information to share?

Just give it up—America has no love for you. 😁

Sigur Rós

What a mess.

😠
It’s just not happening.

In this absolute circus

somebody actually gave you some solid advice
😠
so why don't you just write out why you hate country music? we're all dying to know...
😠

You probably should've just asked where to pick up some cowboy hats and bandanas instead... 😁

Anyway, my mom used to feed an entire army of moths in our neck of the woods. 😠

Are we really talking about eBay?

Leave those hydrangeas alone😂
They remind me of my neighbors sitting on that bench out front; they all have hairstyles shaped like individual blossoms, with their hair differing only by the specific shade of hair dye they choose to use.

By the way, there were some Nirvana badges for sale over on Broadway, but they were all sold out after just a week.

The hydrangeas are gone??? How does that even happen, why though???? 😢

You've got an extra "e" in your signature 🙂

See this.

They have pins available.

As if you can only find that in Europe. And what, is America not part of the Western world?

It seems like America feels the same way about us...

They've got badges.

It’s actually pretty interesting—they even carry some Chuck Berry CDs and vinyl at decent prices. Too bad I’m completely broke right now. 🙂

Ugh, seriously?! That moderator just totally blindsided me! 😲

Maybe I should just go ahead and report myself to Willard... seems like the only way...

Real fans of The Cure are out here asking where to find some decent rope... What kind of pins? Only the ones for your mouth. 😁 😁

Ehoton is the absolute gold standard. 🙂 😍 I’m counting down the days until I can finally grow out my hair, rock a massive afro, and dye the whole thing that specific shade of pigeon gray. 😍 I’ll spend my retirement baking endless batches of cookies, perfecting my homemade pies, bickering with the other grandmas on the subway, and haggling over prices at the farmer's market. I fully intend to be the ultimate grandma.

If you’re looking to get custom patches and other gear made, honestly, don't even bother trying to find someone to do it for you in a place like Chicago. You won't have any luck. My only real advice? Just take the reins and start doing it yourself. As for badges, you can pretty much whip those up on your own without much trouble. I'm not entirely sure what the current market rates are for professional manufacturing, but if you want, I can look into it and get back to you.

my patch on Nirvana is probably the best one out there 😍

Myshoide merchandise? I suppose I might be exaggerating just a little bit, wouldn't you agree? 😛

Look, can someone please just point me toward a hot cowboy who knows where to buy some decent hats?
The only snakeskin cowboy boots I've seen without any chaps were priced at $667... 😬

I even started a whole new thread in the fashion section:
