Remember  mixtapes? Insound has taken the classic mixtape concept, taken out the audio, blown up the personalized design and made it wearable - the mixtape t-shirt.

Designed by Andy Dixon of The Chemistry Designs, they've got three mixtape t-shirts on American Apparel: (1)"Best Love Songs," (2) "Best Break-Up Songs," and (3) a "Blank" mixtape design. The back of each mixtape shirt includes lines for you to write in your favorite song titles.

Insound also asked some of their favorite bands to customize their own mixtape shirts for us to auction offer for charity. Participating bands include The Hold Steady, No Age, Dinosaur Jr, Of Montreal, The Kills and more! 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 Flickr feed (http://www.flickr.com/photos/insoundflickr/) for new shirts and auctions. Go here to order shirts:  http://www.insound.com/search/searchmain.jsp?query=mixtape+shirt.
