Rizzoli were nice enough to send me a copy of the latest release they’re promoting, Australian photographer Nabil Elderkin‘s “Kanye West: Glow in the Dark” book, which document’s Kanye’s concert tour by the same name. It’s an impressive hardcover, perfect for the coffee table of any dedicated Kanye fan. It’s a photography book, and as such, it’s chock full of images and rather light on text, but it does have some journal entry-style commentary from Kanye, and there is an interesting fold-out covered with some of the things the press have said about him, often not particularly nice things. Nicely designed by Base, it comes with a CD featuring four of Kanye’s instrumentals, and an interview with Spike Jonz.

Complex have dropped their “The 100 Best T-Shirts of the 2000′s” countdown. It’s great to see Staple on there twice, and The Hundreds California Culture shirt is on there (what about the paisley tee?), not to mention tees from the likes of Parra/Rockwell, No Mas, Nossa and Rockers NYC. Someone at Complex apparently remembers Mato too. Here are a few brands I think it would have been cool to see: Mishka, Mike Giant/REBEL8, Foreign Family, 2k (the ampersand tees were huge, and spawned a veritable cottage industry of reinterpretations), Obey (the Obama tees were huge and also sparked a bootleg phenomenon), Milkcrate, Turntablelab, Subfreakie…I’m sure I’m forgetting some great brands. Who else should be on the list?
