Roll = role

Wants to impose Sriracha law in America (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 15 September 2016 16:13 (seven years ago) link

It's not even a really good pun, it's just like "roots rock" = "fundamental roll."

Speaking of "roll" puns, I noted the Brand X pun that took me years to get - Moroccan Roll = more rock and roll, in the puns you had missed thread.

So is all this stuff a reaction to the idea of the album as artistic statement? Or is it something else?

In like ten years I want to make an album called "Just Going Through Some Old Tweets..."

would be a good title if Henry Hadaway ever decides to make another Tweets record

Glenn Shorrock, "Villain Of The Peace" (from 1982, but he deserves to be pilloried for this nonetheless)

Strangely titled album by 70s TV heartthrob, Mick Robertson, "Then I Change Hands"...

Does the back cover have his left hand gripping his belt and the right hanging causally by the fly?

Janne Schaffer - Earmeal (1978)

Original Swedish album cover; US version is a sad Hard Day's Night ripoff (the "bunch of portrait shots from the same shoot, with the film border and stuff" genre).

It's from 1987 but this piece of crap from Daltrey surely has a home here:

Roger Daltrey, "Can't Wait To See The Movie"

Yikes

niels, Tuesday, 11 October 2016 14:45 (seven years ago) link

Yeah that might epitomize the 80s continuation/transformation of this aesthetic. Grayer and more brightly-lit, but otherwise the same old shit.

Jake's Progress, obviously, not whatever I typed yesterday. Pun on (a) rake's progress, I guess.

koogs, Tuesday, 1 November 2016 15:36 (seven years ago) link

Oddly, having never heard him before, he was on the radio twice in 24 hours, yesterday.

...is he some sort of singing rural Northern English veterinarian?

Prob because the painting is obscures the title in several ways...

juggulo for the complete klvtz (bendy), Saturday, 12 November 2016 14:56 (seven years ago) link

Not 70s but I think the title definitely channels the same awfulness:
