The T-shirt reads:

“A Canadian Success Story

I set Anne Murray to a disco beat.
Made Canadian millions.
Retired to a pre-fab log cabin in LA
in log-like, modular luxury.
Some people called me a sell out.
Many people called me a sell out.
But they were mostly hypocrites who also bought
A Very Murray Disco Christmas.”

A Canadian success story that seems to terminate in jest but is subtlety leading to… almost California.

The story of almost California. The t-shirt reads:

“Almost California is a story of longing and seasonal escapism told on value-added T-shirts. It’s a brand dedicated to wistful musings. It knows the counter-argument but sometimes thinks everything cool in Canada comes from Europe or LA. A Porsche Carrera that cruises too slow to kick up the corrosive salt at the downtown end of the world’s longest street. Or think Steve Carell singing the Beach Boys and rounding in desperate escapism the islands in the sand but this time his escapism is braving the deep drifts of Montreal’s Notre-Dame Ouest where the dep churns the Sloche Machine an inexplicable 12 months a year. Think North Star Pinball (after the Gottlieb machine out of Chicago) or better—surfing the St. Lawrence behind Habitat 67. Here, where the dirt trail concealed behind the cubist-in-real-life establishing shot of Leonard Cohen’s secret life leads directly to…

Almost California.”

Like Goya's Seated Giant, Le Chat Noir looks wistfully away… looks lazily through the urgency of distinguishing 'art' from 'design' to... Almost California.
