Nice. I think this might be one of my favorite Bobby P covers yet.

want to like the new dopesmoker cover, as i've been a roper fan for ages, but like i said on some sleep thread or another, this is the best part of the design, imo:

I thought the white van in the Unberto cover was a disco ball sitting in the back seat. Like, skeleton and his buddy disco ball driving around on a rainy night. And I loved it.

Google "holbein skull", people. The skull is an allusion.

Jimmy Edgar - Majenta

got the umberto record today, the cover is even better in 12" form

Excellent! Does the back cover add anything to the narrative?

btw didn't i braek ur heart (NickB), Monday, 14 May 2012 09:14 (eleven years ago) link

it appears to be a female hitch-hiker from the 80s

so sort of, yes

Interesting that Holbein chose to paint that on a square canvas, I think at that stage he was basically designing pomp rock record covers 400 years ahead of his time.

wtf @ iggy wearing that much clothing

♆ (gr8080), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 18:41 (eleven years ago) link

i think it's time to call this whole satan thing off

lol iggy looks like the seahawks back cover shot

have to admit that the back of that umberto cover is a bit disappointing. glad it adds to the narrative, but it's a big step down design-wise.

i think it's time to call this whole satan thing off

Come on, it's the best way to piss off your parents.

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:36 (eleven years ago) link

i always feel vaguely sorry for iggy when i see him wearing a top. it doesn't seem like his natural state.
