Introducing the Gary Allan collection

We all know Gary Allan is one cool guy, but now Zazzle agrees with us. 

Zazzle is an online merchandise company that seems like a pretty big deal.  From Gary's site:

This afternoon the country rebel announced a deal with Zazzle.com. Zazzle is the only on-demand retail platform to offer billions of high quality products, many of which are customizable and able to be produced within 24 hours. In signing with Zazzle, Allan has become the first major country artist to join a client roster of some of the top pop, rock and R&B artists in the world.

Zazzle will be Allan’s online and on-demand custom merch partner, providing premier services for The Gary Allan Custom Shop on www.zazzle.com (going live this afternoon) as well as on Gary’s website www.garyallan.com. Fans can choose from an array of Gary Alan designs including images and graphics from Gary’s personal collection, tour graphics as well as choose from a variety of apparel lines including American Apparel, Alternative Apparel, Edun Live, Hanes, Gilden and Bella. Fans can customize their own hats, t-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts, mugs, stickers, bags, keychains, aprons and various other merchandise. Limited only to your imagination, the Gary Allan Custom Shop will be online just in time for Christmas for Gary Allan’s own Black Friday.

If you visit the site here they have all kinds of goodies including t-shirts, mugs, mouse pads, key chains, buttons.  I could totally do all my Christmas shopping there, just not sure if the people on my list would appreciate the gifts as much as I would. 

Luke would like to buy you a beer

Or more accurately, Luke Bryan would like you to buy a beer.  Preferably one of his.

Luke just landed a sponsorship deal with Miller Lite. The partnership will include on-pack product placement, touring, contesting and downloads to cross promote Luke Bryan and Miller Lite in Wal-Mart stores. 

Luke will make in-store stops at various Longhorn Steakhouse restaurants as part of the partnership that will cross promote him and Miller Lite. The first on-pack promotion will include a physical copy of "All My Friends Say" and will be in stores through the end of the year.

Bottoms Up!

As a side note, the picture above has nothing to do with beer, but it's one big catfish so I felt compelled to add it.  You can check out some more of Luke's MySpace pictures here.

Have you ever visited the Kenny Store?

Have you visited Kenny's store yet?  His website has a really great store that you can visit to pick up your official Kenny gear. 

One of the really cool items they offer are sterling silver bracelets engraved with some of Kenny's most popular songs titles on them.  They sell for $55 and would make the perfect Kenny fan Christmas gift.  You can check out the bracelets here.

Buy some vintage Randy Travis stuff

Have you ever kicked yourself for not buying that cool Randy Travis Diggin' Up Bones T-shirt when you were at a concert of his?  Is your mom a huge fan who would love to have a Randy Travis baseball cap?  Then you, my friend, are in luck.  The new Randy Travis Vault is now open to help you out.  From Randy's site:

Visit the Randy Travis Store Vault! By popular demand the Vault is now open! The Vault features classic Randy Travis merch. Take a trip down memory lane with rare tour jackets, out of print t-shirts, past traditional song books, and more! Look for more classic items to be added soon! Purchase $50 or more in the online store and receive a new signed 8x10 from Randy.

Guess what all my friends are getting now?  Randy Travis sweat pants.  Yay!

Dixie Chicks record new music

Well alright, it's a Christmas Gap ad, but it's still great to see them. 

Joey + Rory's Christmas Overstock.com commercial

The first of these commercials was so popular I figured I'd go over and find the newest Overstock.com commercial that Joey and Rory star in.  This one is just in time for the holidays. 

The songs in the commercials are so great, I bet their CD is even better, may put it on my birthday wish list. 

Update:  Jack let us in on the fact that the song in this video is actually available on a CD.  Check out my post about it here.  Thanks Jack!

Jessica's Macy's commercial

Gawd, I've been sitting here for two hours trying to get this flippin' computer to work.  I have a problem that my browser is touchy and I'll get something on it it doesn't like or I'll try and shut my feed reader down or I'll have too many windows open in it and it will all of a sudden freeze and I'll have to restart my computer.  It's so frustrating I'd like to throw it out the window.  But it's a work computer and I doubt that my job would be happy if I threw their computer out the window. 

So I've sat here and had to restart my stupid computer three times this morning, each time losing the stuff I had been working on.  Sheesh, talk about annoying.  I finally went and deleted a bunch of stuff I didn't need and it seems to be working a little better.  Keeping my fingers crossed. 

Anyway, I had seen this commercial on the TV last night so I ran over to YouTube and searched it out this morning.  Jess shows up at the end. 

Behind the Proactiv commercials

Yeah, it's more Jessica.  I'm on a roll I think. 

Case and Craig Morgan launch a website

Case IH, as in big farm machines, recently launched a new Web site to promote Craig Morgan and of course themselves. 

After the song International Harvester became so popular Case jumped on the bandwagon and are now sponsoring the "Craig Morgan International Harvester Tour, Powered by Case IH."  Nice how that works.  I think I'll write and record a song called "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend."  Oh wait, never mind.

While some companies will gift their spokesmen and women with fancy cars, Case did things a little different and gave Craig a Case IH Farmall® 55 tractor.  Fancy. 

You can check out the new website here. 

Wanna buy some McGraw cologne?

I think most people know that Tim McGraw has a cologne out, but I've read in several places people having trouble finding it.  If you are one of those people then you can visit here to buy your own bottle. 

I must say though, reading the scents I'm a little worried.  Just a few are lavender, nutmeg, aged whiskey, and moss.  Moss?  Really? Hmm.
