i love this thread every year

alpine static, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 19:24 (six years ago) link

i wish we still had separate threads for good and bad covers because there are a lot of terrible covers on this thread but i suspect the people posting them think they are good. can you at least please say if you think the cover you're posting is good or bad so i can make fun of you?

na (NA), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 19:59 (six years ago) link

I think that's only fair.

- Juana cover reminds me of a Vermicious Knid
- mine was posted because it's good ftr

horny and dead sons of toil (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link

I only post good covers. Just so you know.

ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 21:30 (six years ago) link

yeah if a bad cover is posted it gets called

Posted the Yachty cover cause it felt noteworthy, still not sure how i feel about it tho. Popular rap being more open to diversity is obviously great but 'homosexuality is wack' Migos being on the record kinda makes the cover a good embodiment of a certain strand of social media wokeness.

the Pharmakon cover is so cool, easily my favorite so far this year

flappy bird, Friday, 2 June 2017 18:20 (six years ago) link

Pharmakon showed up in my discover weekly spotify thing a couple of weeks ago. Was a bit of a shock to have that unexpectedly show up on my phone's lock screen.

Very good album, btw.

Yeah, Pharmakon wins. Awesome album to boot.

Lol @ The Fucking Arcana. Have to hand it to you, "martyfalling", you've got endurance. Till the fp's rack up to 51 that is. I'm assuming that won't be too long from now, so make the most of it here. Tomorrow. Or yesterday.
