I can parse everything in that image except the bandanna on the toe.

TV test pattern is visually quite incredible

Maybe it's a Jimmy Buffet reference ("stepped on a pop top..."

I see that test pattern as a mid-70s variety show!

The Kirk Lorange ‘No Apostrophe’ cover posted upthread clearly should have pictured him being served a bowl of alphabet soup at a fancy restaurant, smdh

Here's the back cover, all quite a long way from Soft Machine

Scorpions level creepiness

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 21 November 2019 21:49 (six years ago)

That's a long way from any other Kevin Ayers LP cover I've seen.

xp
Yeah I was going to mention Robert Palmer, but even he's not that ott.

nickn, Thursday, 21 November 2019 21:50 (six years ago)

long wondered if Scorpions were inspiration for Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove, esp Animal Magnetism and Love Drive....the original Virgin Killer is a good case for censorship

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 21 November 2019 22:29 (six years ago)

"Smell the Glove" made me think of the Eric Carmen album, "Tonight You're Mine" - I remembered the cover, had to google the title - the opening song of which is (yikes) "It Hurts Too Much".

What’s wrong with being sexy?

Is Richard Wright’s “own” (1978) album — Wet Dream — already here? (Ctrl+F doesn’t find it, but I know that’s not dispositive.)

Bus Boys, "Minimum Wage Rock & Roll"

Eddie Murphy loved that band!

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 25 November 2019 17:52 (six years ago)

one of the greatest album titles of all time imho

“Hakuna Matata,” a nihilist philosophy (One Eye Open), Monday, 25 November 2019 17:59 (six years ago)

Wet Dream, the long-awaited follow-up to Native Son

Raul de Souza - Don't Ask My Neighbors

Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 12:57 (six years ago)

I love pretty much everything about that cover: his exuberant pose, the album title of course, the fact that he's playing on the rooftop and therefore isn't actually bothering his neighbors, the bluebird standing on his logo...

Tuomas, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 13:04 (six years ago)

Seems like he should be playing a “Souza-phone,” tho(?) 😛

Soy Bean False Chicken (morrisp), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 14:40 (six years ago)

Bus Boys opened for Eddie Murphy a lot.

earlnash, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 14:58 (six years ago)

(xp) It's a nice one.

'Skills' Wallace (Tom D.), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 15:08 (six years ago)

they opened for him on Delirious, he also got them in 48 Hours, must've been good buds

Just remembered this one from my youth

I'd bet the Bus Boys probably have at least 1 good Rick James story.

earlnash, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:33 (six years ago)

That's a great one too, but maybe better for the bad puns thread.
