Fashion: Insound and your favorite bands make "mixtape" tee shirts

Relive (maybe) your youth of making mixtapes for the ones you love/like/loathe/swoon over with this rad new concept tee shirt. Designed exclusively for Insound by Andy Dixon of The Chemistry Designs, the guys have created three mixtape t-shirts on American Apparel-quality tees. The back of each mixtape shirt includes lines for you to write in your favorite song titles. Insound will throw in a free Sharpie too!

The shirt categories are:

(1) “best love songs"
(2) “best break-up songs”
(3) "blank mixtape design"

To sweeten the pot, Insound has asked some of your favorite bands to customize their own mixtape shirts to auction offer for charity. Participating bands include The Hold Steady, No Age, Dinosaur Jr., Of Montreal, The Kills, etc. These special, hand signed band mixtape shirts will be auctioned off via eBay, with all of the proceeds going to benefit the nonprofit 826NYC.ORG. The first two auctions (Of Montreal & The Hold Steady) begin today with more auctions scheduled to begin soon. Keep checking the Insound Flickr feed for updates on the designs and playlists from the participating artists. Want to make your own? Order it here now!
