We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when…we began playing a Hunter S.
Thompson–inspired board game? Believe it: you play as characters from the book (we call Dr. Gonzo),

The most accurately named site on the world wide web, this so-stupid-it's-brilliant concept is devoted to
side-by-side images of, well, explosions and boobs. Think of it as something to tide you over until

Soundscreen Design, based in (where else?) Brooklyn, created these elegant tees by pairing graphic designers
like Scripop and Jay Ryan/The Bird Machine (pretend you've heard of 'em) with indie bands like Deerhoof, The
National, and Battles (pretend you've heard of them, too). The results: soft, handsome organic-cotton tees
custom-tailored for a decidedly un-roadielike fit.
If you remember those pinup girl pens that let you undress (and, we suppose, dress) a girl by flipping it
upside down, then you pretty much understand the concept of this iPhone app. Which, of course, doesn't make
it any less enjoyable.
