Human Empire / Andreas Samuelsson T shirt Giveaway
Human Empire - Vinyl is Forever T shirt
Soundscreen Design is a product design company inspired by music. They are curating, manufacturing and distributing a line of t-shirts, hoodies and tote bags featuring artists’ iconic interpretations of the phrase “Vinyl is Forever”. Inspired by iconic visual slogans such as “I (heart) NY” and “Virginia is for Lovers”, and referencing music obsessives’ everlasting love of vinyl records, the series will appeal to music, art and fashion fans alike. For avid music fans, vinyl has become both the format of preference as well as a badge of honor. The wearables are designed to be a badge they can wear proudly.
To celebrate the release of the Vinyl is Forever product line we’ve teamed up with Soundscreen Design for a special giveaway.
Two lucky grain edit readers will be taking home a Vinyl is Forever t shirt. We only have 1 of each shirt, so the first place winner will get first pick.

wow, the grey shirt is awesome (in fact both are:) ). i’m a dj myself, one of the few im city still using vinyl. but i think that the music i dj (sixties soul, funk, reggae, some early hiphop…) should be played from the medium it was produced for. i’d take pride in wearing any of the shirts, as i believe that vinyl is indeed forever:)

Vinyl isn’t always forever. They eventually wear down to stop working, but pumping that vinyl into my Macbook helps preserve it.
So count me in.

Over a decade ago a dude I knew who DJ’d moved outta town and left me with a crate of straight heat - original boogie down, sugar hill, jimi, ohio players, leo sayer, sun ra, german beer hall songs and a blend of gang starr, wu tang, and stones throw pre-release bangers to boot…
I didn’t even know how to Dj but with that crate I had no choice…
Now mp3s are all the rage and my vinyl collection, though sicker than any itunes library, clunks up my entire basement storage space and plays home to spiders, reminding me that, like it or not,
vinyl is forever…

I love vinyl, especially when it is just slightly warped. It adds such an imperfect human element to an otherwise perfect reproduction. I just got Neutral Milk Hotel’s _In an Aeroplane Over the Sea_ on vinyl–I like it a lot more than the mp3s.

Cd artwork is just TOOOOOOOOOOO small. That large square format makes the viewer (holder) aware that the cover is a piece of Art. My albums are cherished. My cds are shifted about from car to table and treated without care often.

Love the human empire shirt, great design, and vinyl is the best because it is something you have to set up and really enjoy. its something that you really get sucked into.

I’d personally prefer the second design. I also like records because they have better graphics, better sound, and are easier to cue when dj’ing. I can’t begin to tell you the panic attacks I’ve had while doing my radio show and trying to get past a boring spot of a track on a cd deck.

Damnit pick me >_< And certainly the first design. The second one looks like a kindergartner with too much creative freedom made it.

In 200 years, my great, great, grand kids will inherit my vinyl collection, while my CDs and mp3s erased themselves or became corrupted years ago…

I have a friend in his 20s who has never so much held a vinyl record or played one. The more I explained the romance involved with buying a record, taking it out and playing it, the more I realized how crazy I sounded, but also how much I miss them. I have a collection of over 1,000 records that I have never traded, sold or given away no matter how much turmoil it’s brought me through the years.

My Aunt played a vinyl record from the late Theresa Tang (Famous Chinese siner) and a pair of standard speakers are enough to show how great the quality of it is compared to CD and mp3.
That is why vinyl is forever.

Not a big fan of #2. It’s great design for a 2nd grader. Not sure what Andreas was going for on this one. The first one is cool, however. Love the colors and retro design. I have a good vinyl collection as well. I used to manage a record store back in the 80s and have a TON of POP display items i.e. posters, cover art mini posters, etc. Plus, my dad us was a radio personality and has a killer jazz vinyl collection that we all enjoy.

The human empire page is the page my Hand Job book always falls open to because it’s my favorite page and I always look at it. I have been meaning to check out their website for so long and do you know I finally did today and it lead me to this link, to win a free t shirt. It seems meant to be that I should win. Although, the red one is secretly my favorite of the two t shirts. Now I feel terrible.

I prefer the Human Empire shirt as it doesn’t look like it was made in MS Paint, no offense.
I also prefer vinyl not only because it truly does sound better but because the format itself just makes me appreciate the purchase more. You get the huge artwork sleeve and the liner notes with vinyl and you’ll never see anyone storing their LP’s in a folder while CD cases on the other hand seem to be tossed out regularly and well downloads, while convenient for playing on the go, have nothing to them other than the music.

Why do I like vinyl? I like analog (says the web designer/geek for a living) because it’s solid. I have hundreds of cds that never play anymore, but my vinyl still does and sounds great. I have/rent dozens of dvds that skip and pause and cause me to miss major scenes in movies, but VHS never did that. I’m not totally against digital (put movies on a media card!). Analog should spin and digital should just lay there. I want to touch my music, I want to touch the artwork, I want the artifact.

my mom bought me my first record when i was 5…barry manilow. she followed that one up with synchronicity by the police when i was 8, and i somehow managed to save birthday dollars and allowance quarters to buy my very own copy of the boss’s born to run when i was 10.
i haven’t stopped buying records ever since.
i’ve been to over 40 record conventions and own 1700+ records. good ones, too.
i need shirt 1. please.

When I was little, i had the tiny little fisher price record player. I loved that thing!!!! I begged my mom when I turned 16 to buy me a real one, and she did. I use it constantly. Of course, I own hundreds of cd’s and whatnot, but my heart belongs to the record player. I feel like i’m living in better times when i use it. It makes me feel happy!!

I love vinyl and still have hundreds of 12/10/7″s. I love the scratchy sound before the needle finds the groove. I love the silly tricks mastering engineers used to do–like putting two different tracks in two different grooves, so that depending where you dropped the needle on the edge, you heard one of two different tracks. Or records that started from the center. I guess it’s that it’s an immediate, physical medium. You can see it work. It’s not hidden digital.
I prefer the Human Empire design at this moment.

I love vinyl because it’s so tactile and graphic. CD-sized album covers just aren’t the same! Imagine The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper being released initially on CD. 5 inches just doesn’t do the art justice. And let’s the sound is different from digital.
I prefer tshirt #1. I hope this wasn’t too late. Also, I’m already a Twitter follower. Thanks!

I absolutely love both of the t-shirts. But option one is my favorite because of the muted tones used. Option 2’s typography is great, the weird mix would have some good glances my way if I had it on.
