I was wondering why they were going to appear on Jimmy Fallon tonight, but now it makes sense.

btw, zzzzzzzzzzzz

ugh they called it Turtleneck and Chain? UGH

VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 1 April 2011 20:49 (thirteen years ago) link

i bet there's a funny song on it about wearing a turtleneck and a chain

gr8080, Saturday, 2 April 2011 03:46 (thirteen years ago) link

someone wearing a turtleneck beats them with a bike chain :D

3/5 of the albums reviewed by pf this morning have nude/partially nude women on the cover.

It's Boobie Tuesday! (cue music)

VegemiteGrrl, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link

The Josh Pearson one is esp. annoying given the ironic(?) title of the record; I've been meaning to post that one here myself. The other two are just ugly.

Katy B On A Mission LP cover is a disappointment - I suppose the intention was to 'keep it real' but it just looks cheap and nasty to me. Also, I hate blue tint.

so edgy, so fresh

hey ilxor, thanks for contributing, glad you stopped by (ilxor), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link

Thats only the deluxe edition cover though, I like it better than the standard.

'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 17:10 (thirteen years ago) link

what does the standard look like?

Nult AGL (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 5 April 2011 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link

wild bill iirc

It says FAGG0T in comic sans

She Got the Shakes, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link

like the album cover, but the upside-down cross - both in application on the art here and w/ Odd Future in general - just seems like overkill. it's like "look, here's MORE things to remember us by!!". I mean their ridiculously long name is enough.

kelpolaris, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

not a huge fan, but can't find fault with that album cover. seems to sum up their aesthetic really well.

rockapads, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 21:01 (thirteen years ago) link

^^ otm

the upside down cross evokes the chillwave witchhouse aesthetic

diamonddave85, Wednesday, 6 April 2011 21:56 (thirteen years ago) link

the goblin deluxe is cool cuz i don't think any OF release has had an image of the artist on the cover -- also a portrait shot is a pretty common cover motif in rap but the font/upside down cross still keep it grounded in their aesthetic

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 6 April 2011 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link

prefer the wild bill cover personally

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 6 April 2011 22:55 (thirteen years ago) link

i don't think any OF release has had an image of the artist on the cover

Looks like a ring of Tylenols on a blue napkin.

Or a puka shell choker.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link

very kinetic image, imo

mizzell, Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link

really like it

out comes stanley, Thursday, 7 April 2011 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Reminds me of the title card of The Good Life. Should have a bird flying round it.

I said Omorotic, not homo-erotic (aldo), Friday, 8 April 2011 16:01 (thirteen years ago) link

eu flag was the first thing that came to mind for me. very clean design

flow (chilli), Friday, 8 April 2011 16:33 (thirteen years ago) link

I like that one

banjee trillness (The Reverend), Friday, 8 April 2011 19:19 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah it's kind of fun to look at...makes me feel like I'm standing on a ladder

VegemiteGrrl, Friday, 8 April 2011 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link

Gigamesh looks like some weird Eastern European Prog shit. I like it.

GLOWER METAL (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 9 April 2011 01:43 (thirteen years ago) link

hi gigamesh here is a present for you: L

three megabytes of hot RAM (abanana), Saturday, 9 April 2011 01:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, with all the effort put to those letters, you'd think someone would've noticed the typo?

Tuomas, Saturday, 9 April 2011 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link

It's not a typo.

That's why they call me (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 9 April 2011 19:58 (thirteen years ago) link

lmao

Oink Administrator (gr8080), Saturday, 9 April 2011 20:22 (thirteen years ago) link

It's actually really disco-y. I bet Tuomas would be into it.

That's why they call me (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 9 April 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh shit. This sounds dope

banjee trillness (The Reverend), Saturday, 9 April 2011 21:58 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, I've been waiting for some of his original material since his remixes started showing up a couple years ago.

That's why they call me (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 9 April 2011 22:03 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah not to turn this into the gigamesh thread but this is my jam

ok i just got to the synth sax and THIS IS THE SHIT THIS IS THE SHIT THIS IS THE SHIT THIS IS THE SHIT

banjee trillness (The Reverend), Saturday, 9 April 2011 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah the vocalist is dope but the corny lyrics almost lose me then the sax drops and i love it

Oink Administrator (gr8080), Saturday, 9 April 2011 22:53 (thirteen years ago) link

dunno how my brain made the connection but everytime i see that woodkid cover i immediately think

(eric koston btw, if you never grew up playing Tony Hawks Pro Skater)

kelpolaris, Sunday, 10 April 2011 23:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Lol nice one kel

VegemiteGrrl, Sunday, 10 April 2011 23:35 (thirteen years ago) link

good lord that is terrible

J0rdan S., Monday, 11 April 2011 04:03 (thirteen years ago) link

ha very 90s

banjee trillness (The Reverend), Monday, 11 April 2011 04:20 (thirteen years ago) link

Except that the 90s would've demanded the pattern to be in some bright colour and the text to be in some other bright colour. B&w is boring.
