Hah awesome, love the title/art. Just trying to think what the cover reminds me of...some early-to-mid 80s early CD art by an established artist, no?

This has been killing me for the last couple hours. Bruce Springsteen's The River is almost it, but not quite.

it reminds you of franz ferdinand, and corporations

No! I don't even understand that! Isn't Franz Ferdinand's aesthetic like Eastern Bloc propaganda or something?
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link
Man, Franz Ferdinand. Missing 2004 right now.

any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo
Does it offend you?

maybe it reminds you of that because that's a painting by Robert Longo and the DFA announcement specifically referenced Robert Longo

'Dance yourself clean' could have been a great title imo.
Kinda looks half arsed how James appears to be just leaning on a wall in the photo. Font and Colour of the font seem like a joke, argh...

Font and color directly ref some 80s album that's been on the tip of my tongue all afternoon. So yes, probably part of a joke.

Oh I didn't know that. Davek upthread was mentioning it reminded him of and 80's album and thought that must be it. Just saw the cover for the "drunk girls" single and the reference is more obvious in there:

Would have been a much better cover with a cartoon James Murphy than a photograph tho.

i mean sorry that's bigoted but fuck it haaaaaaaaaaaa
who do you mean? my country is on its second female president. the first was in 1990. you assuming i'm british is a pretty good indication of why you don't find that line embarrassing and why even if it's a joke it's a stupid one.

If the line had been "We have a black president, so shut up" then I wouldn't have a problem with it tbh Not gonna turn this thread into the annual LJ-fails-to-understand-race clusterfuck, will duly shut up
