There isn't a whole lot of text, but the text that's there contains some great little nuggets on music, identity, art, style, and nostalgia, from such underground mainstays as Nicole Panter, Kid Congo Powers, Mark Arm, and Thurston Moore, amongst others. And of course it's fun to look at the images of all these old t-shirts and wish you had them in your own collection.

This jumped out at me in the library today, proving there is such a thing as perfect timing. Just begun my own series of tshirt screenprints for my final month (!!!) of uni, so seeing this beautifully photographed collection of original subversive shirts is fantastic.
