I occasionally pick up a little something as a memento, for example in September at Arctic Monkeys they were selling hotel style key thingys that I thought were very cool for £5. That's been on my keys ever since.

You can see what I mean in this print!:

I almost never buy tour T-shirts anymore, far too expensive.

Back in like 2005 I once made my mom buy me Crazy Frog sweatbands at the mall, and I think that experience might have something to do with the fact that I'm not much of a merch-guy today.

I wish I would have been 8 or something, but I was 11. To my defence Alex F is a fucking tune.

It's a nice idea but things have gotten a lot more expensive
- merch and tickets! It seemed unthinkable In 1998 that you could spend $100 on a ticket and not be front and centre but somewhere in the stands.

I like a good concert Tshirt souvenir but $40-50 is way too much. When I was oasis on the DBTT tour shirts were $30. Which even now seems the limit.

There's also too many shirts...some nice iconic ones but some rubbish ones too. Takes away the uniqueness of the souvenir if there's 10-12 shirts to choose from. But maybe I'm just being grumpy about these things.
