YanniFilter (yes, THAT Yanni): Help me find this shirt...

May 12, 2008 8:58 AM

I just saw the movie High Fidelity for the first time. There was one scene in the record store where Jack Black's character is wearing a t-shirt with Yanni's mug in it's full glory. As soon as I saw it I knew I HAD to have that shirt! I've managed to find some similar shirts on Ebay, but nothing quite as spectacular as the one in the movie. So I will be forever in debt to anyone who can find this shirt available for purchase. Help me MeFi, you're my only hope!

I'm trying to remember it. Did it say Live From the Acropolis on it? This one at Ebay might be it. If not, can you describe it or tell what it said (if anything) on it?

I could be wrong (I can't find any pictures online from behind my corporate firewall), but I'm pretty sure it was not the Acropolis shirt. It was black and had a headshot of Yanni taking up most of the space. I remember it not having much else, which is why I don't think it was the Acropolis shirt. I don't remember it having any text, although if it did I'm pretty sure it would have been below his picture.

You're right, here's a photo (scroll down a bit), and an interesting story about the original t-shirt.

Interesting, thanks. And just for a little more clarification, I saw the DVD so the shirt I'm looking for would be minus the "Kill" and bullet holes.

Here's one that's pretty similar on Ebay.
