Miles Prower

Had to say it out loud before I got it.

That reminds me of a character from the old Children's Television Workshop show "The Electric Company," a detective specializing in code breaking named Fargo North, Decoder.

It took me saying it several times before I did. Jeesh...

That Joan Baez cover is just insane. It should be the flip picture on Black Sabbath's Never Say Die.

If I seized control of the US government I would force bands like Arcade Fire to do these kind of titles, like the whole band dressed in black and Win Butler dressed all in white, Arcade Fire - "There's One in Every Crowd"

Win Butler's second solo album, The ______ Did It (cover features Butler in the center of the frame, being pointed at by a number of 1920s rich people.)

hahahaha

Alternately, ''...You Mean, I Did It?!'' with the same setup, except Win's accusers are also clutching twelve-inch records.

an Arcade Fire cover would have to have an Out of Quarters joke

I must be an idiot but the Aerosmith play on words never occurred to me.

Or me. I assumed it was just some American thing I didn't understand (not unlike Aerosmith).

Was kinda thinking, after the Joan upthread, that it'd be cool to assemble a record collection entirely of 70s albums where the artist is in front of a blue sky background. Four hundred copies of Leo Sayer's Endless Flight, mysteriously available in every thrift store box in the lower forty-eight states, would line the walls, floors and ceiling, creating weird perspective effects where it looks like Leo, looking like a poor man's Richard Simmons, is jumping over everything else you own:

Doctor Casino, Monday, 4 August 2014 20:35 (nine years ago) link

Alternately, the idea may be that they've let Leo be sucked out of the back of a plane, Air Force One style. Not such an endless flight, buddy!

"Endless Flight" should be a picture of him looking at his watch on a commercial airplane

'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 4 August 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link

Passenger next to him is either (a) a buxom, eyelash-batting rocker babe, with Sayer mugging wild-eyed ("can you believe my luck, with this flight being endless and all?") or (b) a yakking grandma, shoving unwanted family photo album into Leo's lap (with other distractions surrounding: shrieking baby, record execs, cigar-smoking mustachioed old money type, etc). However, if photo is really cheap, everyone can just be quietly perusing an in-flight magazine.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 4 August 2014 21:05 (nine years ago) link

I feel like there might also be a bell-shaped tourist in an xxxl Hawaiian shirt, his gut spilling over the armrest onto Leo

'arry Goldman (Hurting 2), Monday, 4 August 2014 23:17 (nine years ago) link

...with an implausibly large sandwich, also spilling its guts.

It's like the record company bussed all these artists to the mall have their pictures taken in front of that backdrop.
