Ceci n'est pas un mixte tape

According to curator Bobby of Kitsune Noir, Ceci n'est pas un mixte tape, c'est un Kitsune mixtape - and there's a difference you know. (sic Patricia Arquette says to Christian Slater in True Romance on the roof). If you still hark back to the golden age of making or receiving mix-tapes for boys/girls you were in puppy love with and friend and fellow music lovers you'll appreciate Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker's take on the digital age that has killed the mix tape.

Hurricane Alicia

A great-looking vintage t-shirt with some serious pre-Katrina history to it.

History of the t-shirt
Hurricane Alicia was the first tropical storm and the only major hurricane of the 1983 Atlantic hurricane season. It struck Galveston and Houston, Texas directly, causing $2.6 billion USD ($5.27 billion 2006 USD) in damage and killing 21 people; this made it Texas' first billion-dollar storm. Hurricane Alicia became the last major hurricane to strike Texas until the stronger Hurricane Bret in 1999 made landfall. Alicia was the first storm for which the National Hurricane Center issued landfall probabilities.
