Was reading La Gazette de Bon Ton from (almost!) 100 years ago the January 1924 edition) and there's this little article about sports shoes by Perugia with examples for skating, tenis, golf, and riding, and I thought "I've seen those boots before!", so I went looking for them and here we are: crocodile riding boots by André Perugia from the 1920s as reported in this French magazine and some outfits to complement.

No but really: if you haven't listened to Andre 3000's new album, New Blue Sun, please do. It's really interesting.
Yes, it's experimental and weird and sounds a little like 1990s New Age music, but it's also good because of those things. It's meditative and wandering and not background music. You don't want to let it just sit in the background; you can do other things while listening but you ought to keep one ear on it. (One reviewer said that he could have pushed it a little further and I agree, but it's also really good as it is!)
I think "That Night in Hawaii..." is probably the most "traditionally" structured piece on the album, so while that's the 3rd track, it might be a good spot to dip your toes in.
Anyway, the whole thing is available to listen to for free online. I found it on YouTube (because I'm at work and that's the easiest method).

While the two players have missed 18 consecutive games combined, they each have a history of injury. While James was out for only two games last season after spraining his left ankle, Davis missed eighteen straight.
