...and now I have a Neil Young dream to contribute! I dreamed I was at his house with my niece - she was attending some kind of children's party for his young kids. He entered the house dressed in a pinstripe suit and running shoes, complaining about his commute home from the office: "That drive, that drive..." I was aware that he'd taken a position in the A&R dept of some record company and asked him "How do you like your new job?" He grinned and nodded a few times and said, "My focus is on the mind," then turned away. I pondered his answer for a few seconds, then his wife took me aside and advised me not to pay him any mind - he didn't understand my question, and in fact was almost totally deaf.

feel like peter buck was also inspired by the "Horrible 70s album titles like I've Got My Own Album To Do" thread. wonder what his ILM username is.

is it more or less punk rock than 'monster'
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 26 February 2014 00:32 (twelve years ago)
I think Peter Buck was on record saying that if it was up to him REM albums wouldnt even have any artwork, just white space, and something to distinguish it from the last album, as if he was talking about Chicago albums or whatever
Although maybe the White Album has kind of ruined that for everyone else
― Master of Treacle, Wednesday, 26 February 2014 00:38 (twelve years ago)
I get that, REM album covers were pretty consistently bad, imo.

i wish he was wearing the same suit
that is a pretty good one, but the dgaf ante would be upped if he wasn't looking so dapper. break out the hawaiian shirt, cohen!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 17:51 (eleven years ago)
That'd be a major uphill battle against Jimmy Buffett, the John Coltrane of dgaf Hawaiian shirt album covers.

dig his goatee though!
i think you guys don't realize he probably goes to sleep in a suit, it's not a sign of "effort"

I can't tell if that is an actual album cover or a meme, which is probably the point, good work Elton.
Still

Has there been a "pointless" round for "Neil Young Albums" ?
