Doldrums in this case is prolly an Ariel Pink ref no? but yeah it is bone idle and it's not like you even came up with a killer name or anything come on man

Fur - Cocoon ...I'm a sucker for this sort of landscape painting, wonder who did it?

what's so notable about that waka album cover?

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 21:41 (thirteen years ago)

Notably crap obviously.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 June 2012 22:06 (thirteen years ago)

yeah but it's so generic either way i don't feel strongly about it

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 22:11 (thirteen years ago)

True.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 June 2012 22:12 (thirteen years ago)

though i guess just the basic work is pretty bad looking, looks kinda 90s and regional though, which is weird now cuz everyone seems to be a lot slicker at very least

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 22:13 (thirteen years ago)

kinda 90s and regional though

must... not....

Would never listen to a non-VHF Doldrums on pure principle. Hey look at me, I'm starting a band called Magnog. Ugh, these fucking kids.

Laurel Halo - Quarantine

DavidM, Saturday, 9 June 2012 17:15 (thirteen years ago)

Why did I add the Laurel Halo cover when we've already had it? Argh.

new Guardian Alien

calm me maybe (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 9 June 2012 17:36 (thirteen years ago)

The deer in the sky holding a book with his mouth makes it.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 June 2012 17:37 (thirteen years ago)

Last couple are good.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Saturday, 9 June 2012 18:02 (thirteen years ago)

Mrs Magician working from the same palette as Carter Tutti Void, Best Coast, etc. Funny when things 'trend' so obviously. Can't accept that this is any more a coincidence than the 'bands with animal and beach-related names' thing

If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Saturday, 9 June 2012 19:03 (thirteen years ago)

At least this doesn't give me a headache like the CTV album art does.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 June 2012 19:10 (thirteen years ago)

Pretty sure you can trace it back to Merriweather Post Pavillion

Black Angels were doing this steez before AC: http://www.amazon.com/The-Black-Angels/e/B00197ENG0

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 9 June 2012 20:00 (thirteen years ago)

what is Anywhere like? that cover intrigues me

♆ (gr8080), Saturday, 9 June 2012 21:39 (thirteen years ago)

that landing cover is great and even though theres no type on the cover it's still nicely composed

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 10 June 2012 00:21 (thirteen years ago)

anywhere is kinda folky psychy, suits the cover

sissy space echo (electricsound), Sunday, 10 June 2012 00:37 (thirteen years ago)

riyl espers

sissy space echo (electricsound), Sunday, 10 June 2012 00:38 (thirteen years ago)

Will check that out!

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 10 June 2012 01:23 (thirteen years ago)

You can't see any of the landings on the Landing cover.

InternationalWaters, Monday, 11 June 2012 18:43 (thirteen years ago)

ha, i was thinking the same thing but it seemed too corny to point out

they loooovin the crut (The Reverend), Monday, 11 June 2012 20:45 (thirteen years ago)

That Landing cover is okay, but it pales in comparison to one of the great staircase-featuring album covers of our time:

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Monday, 11 June 2012 21:00 (thirteen years ago)

Shit, that's poor quality, so much for posting to this thread from an iPad.

Better version here: http://12kblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/12k1051mini.jpg

Para One - Passion

Number None, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 11:35 (thirteen years ago)

Looks like a Dali's Car album

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 11:52 (thirteen years ago)

Speaking of which...

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 11:52 (thirteen years ago)

eh, they don't have an apostrophe do they?

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 11:53 (thirteen years ago)

that "Parental Advisory..." sticker doesn't do the Para One cover any favours does it...

Arvo Pärt Chimp (Neil S), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 12:53 (thirteen years ago)

i dunno, it's kind of an amusing juxtaposition

Number None, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 13:37 (thirteen years ago)

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:42 (thirteen years ago)

Have liked the wackiness of the past few Dino jr covers, but they're all kind of hideous to behold

Zaireeka Badu (NickB), Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:45 (thirteen years ago)

love that (and the other recent ones)

mizzell, Wednesday, 13 June 2012 15:48 (thirteen years ago)

ditto. way better than the art to bug anyway.

Weingarden By Kawhineyscope (how's life), Thursday, 14 June 2012 01:43 (thirteen years ago)

This is unsettling

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:57 (thirteen years ago)

an album cover like that is usually to distract from a shitty album

lamborghini persie (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 14 June 2012 17:59 (thirteen years ago)

Maybe, but the first mp3 is kinda cool.
