After years of only reading about this ad campaign, my mind was blown when I finally saw this ad (Rolling Stone, November 1968).
― Sterling-Kinney (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:18 (thirteen years ago) link
man tyler GOOD spot there.
reading ads like the one for Stage Fright makes me wish, as I sometimes do, for a more ambitious mood in rock -- it's like, mainstream rock, its main ambition is & generally has been to reach a lot of people & sell a lot of records, which is fine, but the rhetoric of that Stage Fright ad - "This album is another further step* in The Band's development." (paragraph break) "In the development of our music." (paragraph break) "The music of our age." -- I mean, if that were the norm, the need to deflate it would be & was great, but I feel like there's also value of some kind in Taking It Too Seriously. That framing the presentation in those sorts of terms affects the actual text (i.e. the album)/experience in some way, and maybe also does so before it even gets made - there's this sense that whether the guys making the record are in fact too high to even think right, they're surrounded by this idea that what they're doing is somehow important, which, whether it's true or not (it's not), maybe compels them to aim high.

haha amazing.
there are a few quite well known ones that i've never seen like the Randy Newman 'his voice is really something once you get used to it' one and the blondie 'wouldn't you like to Rip Her To Shreds?' one. also unconfirmed but apparantly exist; eccho and the bunnymen's one for Ocean Rain with their own(?) quote on it saying 'the best album of all time'.

'Is Your Name Leonard Cohen?'
From time to time you get the feeling that you want to disengage yourself from your life. Because you're no different from anyone else. And because your life is filled with the same love and the same hate and the same beauty and the same ugliness as everyone else's.
You want to withdraw into some kind of solitary contemplation -- a locked room or a quiet corner of your mind just to think about everything for a while. You. Her. It. That. Them.
If you put it all down on paper according to a form of meter and line, you're called a poet.
And if you're a poet who sets it all to music, then your name is Leonard Cohen.
And this is your second album of--for want of a better word--songs.
And these are your songs from a room.On Columbia Records

tyler be aware that at this moment there are network execs haranguing their drones to "get me the next mad men" and the one that gets it will be a period piece from a different era with readily i.d'able costume/prop scenarios
what I'm saying is given that there could be subplots involving rock stars (more of that costume/character stuff people go nuts for) you should probably draft a pitch and get it to somebody
