You're right, of course, but the Bulletproof Wallets is so good it almost makes up for his other, mediocre covers:

That whole thread was pretty classic:
the homoeroticism in ghostface's 'run'
Also, I wish could find the inner sleeve pic of BW online, where Ghostface and Raekwon are in the same situation as in the cover, and Rae is presenting a bundle of cash to the camera, and Ghost is doing the same, except that instead of money he's holding a huge pineapple.
Sometimes I really wonder what was going on during that photo shoot...
― Tuomas, Thursday, 23 August 2012 08:50 (eleven years ago) link
BW needs to be marked down because I always (mis-)remembered him rocking an eagle head on it. Although I guess that can be said about everything Ghostface.

I don't know what's more WTF - I'm gonna boil up some banknotes, or look at my bitchin' pineapple. Maybe it's a throwback to the days when pineapples were considered so extravagant that people used to hire them and bring them to parties to show off their status.

Amanda Palmer - what's going on there?
― Moodles, Friday, 14 September 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
she did a thing that seems kinda shady, ppl talking about it, kinda arguing but mostly agreeing that she's at least kinda shady
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 14 September 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
she asked for a bunch of money from her fans to pay for some shit but apparently people think she's already rich and shouldn't be asking for any more money from her fans to pay her backing band... or something. idg why anybody cares really.
― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 14 September 2012 21:10 (eleven years ago) link
Palmer has asked local musicians from each stop on her tour to come play in her band for that night in exchange for beer and hugs. Albini/musicians think that's well out of order, especially as she raised over a million dollars on kickstarter to fund the album she's supporting.
― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Friday, 14 September 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
if local musicians are stupid/excited enough to play for beer and hugs whose business is it what they do? seriously.

Because we have a LOT to say.
Also because our own upper mississippi sh@kedown is currently schooling Neil Gaiman on Twitter about it all.

She made a lot of money ($1.2 million) on Kickstarter.She now claims she doesn't have enough to pay for a backing band ($30K for the entire tour).She asked her fans to play for "beer and hugs"-- these fans already supported her on Kickstarter.She asked for trained musicians, not amateurs.These same musicians will also be required to play for the support act.A quick survey of her accounting suggests that she is lying about her lack of funds.An more extended examination suggests that she may in fact be a total con.
People care because:a) lost jobs for actual musiciansb) she continues to frustrate and seem more and more grifty with every explanationc) the semi-pro and pro musicians on this board (and their friends) object to people in their profession being exploitedd) she opens her blog posts with "hola comrades"
