Was Hed (PE) Out

I don't like.

looks like they swiped it from one of those hipster-porn tumblrs

The Hed (PE) Out is pretty. But maybe I'm just a hipster.

Is that what happened to the Vampire Weekend Contra cover after a few drinks?

I simultaneously love & despise it. It hurts me to decide which it is.

Is it possible for something to be fraught with boring?

i love that

Dancing bedbug ftw

sahara hot nights is awesome

Since I don't know who they are, I'm going to assume they're nomadic Icelanders who were captured on tape by a documentary crew and are now being exploited by a joint venture of National Geographic and Hot Topic.

i mean the cover, i also have no idea who they are

xp to nakh's cover

Sahara Hotnights are actually a Swedish all-girl group who came around the same time as The Hives and used to sound a lot like The Runaways, but are totally refined and excellent now.

That's the D'Eon / Grimes split LP cover, which is an annoying picture of two pretty bad musicians

That's some Sergio Mendes/Herb Alpert style done right.

(Don't listen to this band unless you want a sugar headache, though.)

cuet, but trying so hard that the music needs to measure up

Can't get over that Sahara Hotnights; it's so cynical but I still wish like crazy I was on that plane.

Has a Blancmange meets Supertramp vibe.
plus some Kraftwerk

I agree with these things re: Sahara Hotnights. I really miss painted cover art. Everything now is just splatters and doodles OR created to look like paintings in Illustrator and Photoshop. I probably won't buy it on vinyl because I don't have a turntable, but I really hope the LP release is gatefold and on heavy stock.

^ I realize that sounds all "you darned kids!" but I'm kind of sick of covers that just look like photos from flickr or a few brushstrokes on a block of wood.

o no the sahara hotnights is grebt

although i wish there was a more evident hint of menace in it

Maybe when you open the gatefold there's a goblin on the wing.

Definitely something going on under that blanket imo.
