Tracer Hand, Thursday, 6 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

not fair to the feelies !! they were a very self-conscious group of young men "from next door" in the tradition of buddy holly

and crazy rhythms was a packaging dream -- very fresh and airy and roomy and clean and not ambient (with the CD you only get a white jewel case side-piece)

whereas the vinyl looked a bit like this :

George Gosset, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

no, that was the mp3 of the html version of the feelies vinyl, sorry

George Gosset, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

First, I just want to say that the last couple of posts by George Gosset are among the most amusing things I've ever read. Though I fear for George's sanity.

Second, we have a NEW ENTRY, courtesy Sean Carruthers.

The broken one was supposed to be our pal Jaz again...probably didn't work so well anyhow. Here's another one, probably tentative, and then off to bed.

I must say, Alex, that you're frighteningly good at this...

Clarke B., Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, that's what the nightshift here at work gets ya. Lots o' freetime to consider simillar album covers....

Alex in NYC, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sean- also loveless w/ Band of susans' 'the word and the flesh' alb.

Alex is my NU-GOD

Tracer Hand, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Alex, gangsta, how do you do it??

Tracer Hand, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Lots of downtime during the day.....and a ouija board. Actually, the one I'm most impressed with myself about is that Springsteen/Cheap Trick one.

Alex in NYC, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Most entertaining. :-)

That Def Leppard cover is the most hideous album cover ever, and I'm inlcuding Linda Rondstadt here.

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's great. I feel less alone in the world knowing that someone else picked up on the Dig Me Out/Kink Kontroversy uh... konnektion, as well as the one between Pavement and Guru Guru.

Jody Beth Rosen, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Best thread EVAH by about 20,000 light years (and I really mean it this time). I'll contribute some covers tomorrow, hopefully.

Jeff W, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey somebody do Herb Alpert/Soul Asylum, K? I'd do it myself but I have to go back to work.

Jody Beth Rosen, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

These aren't album covers, but dig the similarity:

Alex- add the cover of 'Skullflower's Xaman (to be found in their homepage: google it!) to heelhammer cover.

Julio Desouza, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Look at the gun on the SICK PLEASURE cover....clearly rendered from studying the iconic image on the left.

Alex in NYC, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link
