10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Friday, 11 May 2012 03:20 (eleven years ago) link

I thought the white van in the Unberto cover was a disco ball sitting in the back seat. Like, skeleton and his buddy disco ball driving around on a rainy night. And I loved it.

Jimmy Edgar - Majenta

got the umberto record today, the cover is even better in 12" form

Excellent! Does the back cover add anything to the narrative?

btw didn't i braek ur heart (NickB), Monday, 14 May 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link

it appears to be a female hitch-hiker from the 80s

so sort of, yes

Interesting that Holbein chose to paint that on a square canvas, I think at that stage he was basically designing pomp rock record covers 400 years ahead of his time.

wtf @ iggy wearing that much clothing

♆ (gr8080), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 18:41 (eleven years ago) link

i think it's time to call this whole satan thing off

lol iggy looks like the seahawks back cover shot

have to admit that the back of that umberto cover is a bit disappointing. glad it adds to the narrative, but it's a big step down design-wise.

i think it's time to call this whole satan thing off

Come on, it's the best way to piss off your parents.

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link

i always feel vaguely sorry for iggy when i see him wearing a top. it doesn't seem like his natural state.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link

i always feel vaguely sorry for the world when iggy is not wearing a top.

mark e, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:45 (eleven years ago) link

guys don't fret that is iggy's arse on the semargl cover, all is well with the world

Goodbye 20th Centipede (NickB), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link

I appreciate Iggy's preservation more now that my wife works with leather goods.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link

Goodbye 20th Centipede (NickB), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link

the limited record store 12" cover was bad enough (ooh, a pun on the title one drop), but seriously.

i realise the world will be gushing all over a new PiL album, but f*ck could they not have done something a little more worthy of eye balling than this shit.

truly dreadful.

mark e, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, that's next-level bullshit, expecially for PIL
