Okay, genius designer Brian Lichtenberg’s Gizmo Skirt looks cute and cuddly now, but just wait until it chows down on some frozen yogurt after midnight. Don’t get stuck with a spider-gremlin mutant wrapped around your waist! However, if you think you’re responsible enough to adhere to those three simple rules, this is pretty much the raddest piece of clothing on the planet. Bedazzled with Swarovski crystals, Gizmo’s beckoning eyes are sure to set any self-respecting nerd’s heart aflame. The girl who sports this skirt for a stroll through Comic Con is the luckiest girl in the world.
1. Great band (obvs.) and great song

5. Shot at the Cabazon Dinosaurs, from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (they’re now a creationist museum)
6. Songs that end with explosions/asteroids are always good
The clip’s director, Steven Andrew Garcia, has a blog called Brain Sheer where he posts rad behind the scenes photos along with portraits of people and bands we love, like Where The Wild Things Are graphic designer Geoff McFetridge, Kim Gordon, Abe Vigoda– and whaddya know, he’s even got a couple nice pictures of Spike! Here’s a shot of Mika Miko minus the dinosaur masks and one of Geoff proudly showing off his bike:
