The Mood Board: The Dereliction of Merch Merch is dead, long live (old) merch A tale of woe, dusted with chagrin: in the summer, when Lockdown: A New Hope meant we spent all our Chablis money on things we didn’t need and wouldn’t use again (kettle bells; emotion journals, baker’s spectacles etc.), I spaffed £50 (I think) on a sweatshirt from Haim’s collection of WIMPIII ( Women In Music Pt. III) merch. I was all like, “Haim are (is?) great and I love sweatshirts and acronyms and I have spare money because I don’t go anywhere or do anything and the only exciting thing I purchased recently is a pack of Quorn cocktail sausages, so yeah, I’ll buy it”. The sweatshirt never turned up, and the receipt was deleted by an actually-quite-annoying email server before I realised. So now I’m sweatshirt-less and £50-less, but maybe it was meant to be. Haim have since released a very meh song with Taylor Swift and it wouldn’t have fit me anyway, because of all the Quorny bois.
