That La Big Vic cover reminds me of this :

"Featuring Rob Thomas" is definitely the most appalling thing about that cover.

This faux illuminati symbolism with triangles on the album cover bullshit must stop. Just be done with it already.

van smack, Saturday, 11 June 2011 04:40 (twelve years ago) link

What is that even in reference to?

The Reverend, Saturday, 11 June 2011 04:58 (twelve years ago) link

god, that "INXS" thing is appalling, makes all the psych/folk triangle bullshit seem completely cool by comparison

And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore (contenderizer), Saturday, 11 June 2011 05:10 (twelve years ago) link

god that INXS cover...I don't know whether to shoot myself, them, or my computer. FUCK

the feather

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 12 June 2011 06:08 (twelve years ago) link

no i totally agree

it's like that movie with john travolta in music form

brodieopolari.... oh fuck it (kelpolaris), Sunday, 12 June 2011 14:00 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, like the image more than the type, but the whole thing is pretty great

(listening to it now...err, shouldn't have.)

Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 06:06 (twelve years ago) link

I didn't know Emanuelle Parrenin was still making music

Number None, Tuesday, 14 June 2011 14:29 (twelve years ago) link

yeah, she returned to music a few years ago (guest appearing on Etienne Jaumet's album Night Music in 2009) and has been appearing in concert since the beginning of this year, so the new album wasn't totally out of the blue. I still haven't heard it yet, but this sounds promising:

I possibly shoot out a star with a BB gun / pop some balloons with darts at a state fair to win that in coke mirror format but that's about it.

joygoat, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 15:51 (twelve years ago) link

^ would possibly...

joygoat, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

hate the Symaca cover even though it has all the elements that ought to appeal to me. Looks like someone dropped a mint on a tiny civilization or something. Also the font is pretty shitty.

owenf, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link

Limp Bizkit cover is amazing. Can't wait for the album.

owenf, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:56 (twelve years ago) link

Bizkit cover is way better than the Symaca cover.

why the black dude picking his nose?

ladyboner (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 16 June 2011 08:51 (twelve years ago) link

Because he has a booger. Why do you pick YOUR nose?

Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 16 June 2011 08:51 (twelve years ago) link

Cover is surely Fred Durst's tribute to this:

cloaca flocka flame (NickB), Thursday, 16 June 2011 08:55 (twelve years ago) link

limp bizkit cover is kinda dumb/funny (and yes godawful, but that's clearly the point)

prefer it to the symakya and emmanuelle parrenin, tbh

And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore (contenderizer), Thursday, 16 June 2011 09:31 (twelve years ago) link

WOMEN ARE NOT FOOD LYRICS

women, woman, woah man!, i know man...
i will not look at you like i am hungry
i won't drink of you even though i'm thirsty
i won't drool or sink a tooth because women are not food
i won't pity you when you're rejected
you are loved and lauded not respected
i won't laugh or care for you because i will not be used

i can't be the first who said i'd leave it
i can't believe you can't believe it
a younger me don't get me started
after everything i think i did for it
i won't look at you like i am hungry
i won't drink of you even though i'm thirsty
i won't waste a bite on you because women are not food
i won't trick you into something funny
the thought of you broken up destroys me
i won't do what other men would love to do to you

i can't be the first who politely declined
so many bars with men waiting in line
they want to get confused and used blue
everything i do i do for the women

woman
woah man!, i know man...
i will not look at you like i am hungry
i won't drink of you though my thirst decieves me
your wet furry beach oasis feeds the dullest tools
i won't think of you like you mean nothing
you have thoughts you're alive your words mean something
I SALUTE MY MOTHERS FLAG BECAUSE WOMEN ARE SO COOL

And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore (contenderizer), Thursday, 16 June 2011 09:55 (twelve years ago) link

^ the show is the rainbow - "women are not food"
