can't find a bigger image but the joke there is that he is holding a ridiculously oversized odd-colored drink with smoke coming out of it

Also works on the other thread, well done

Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 18:08 (five years ago) link

also features the classic shirtless + overalls + fedora combo, when is that gonna come back into style (and where the fuck did it come from in the first place)

Christopher Milk was John Mendelsohn's band ('60s-'70s freelance writer for RS, Creem, a few others, mostly famous for shitting on the first two Zep records).

wait so that's not *actually* a dude's name? lame

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 18:33 (five years ago) link

I think they may have been known as The Christopher Milk at one point. Which is somehow a much worse name.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 18:39 (five years ago) link

Listening to them now for the first time. Not terrible, but it sounds exactly how you'd imagine a band led by a Kinks- and Move-obsessed American anglophile rock critic in the early '70s to sound.

Joe Sample - Sample This

I guess it's not so horrible, really... I mean, with a name and a career like his, it was almost inevitable he'd release an album with this title.

that is killing me for some reason

That one has always confused me... Is "Dukey treats" a pun on some pre-existing term, or did he simply add his name as a qualifier, like in his song from the '70s, "Dukey Stick"?

Tuomas, Monday, 20 January 2020 06:32 (four years ago) link

Dog treats -> "doggy treats" -> Dukey treats?

Tuomas, Monday, 20 January 2020 06:34 (four years ago) link

Wasn't the first thing that came to my mind...

nickn, Monday, 20 January 2020 07:12 (four years ago) link

I mean, it's even made of chocolate.

nickn, Monday, 20 January 2020 07:13 (four years ago) link

That's not chocolate...

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 20 January 2020 11:51 (four years ago) link

I'm afraid it's a pun on dookie (in the American sense).

Guy spent too much time in Frank Zappa bands obviously.

He even has a certain kind of grin on the cover.

Buddy Rich, "Buddy & Soul"
+1 for one of the better puns in the Jazz pun subgenre
-10 for not actually doing Body & Soul on the record

Very good album tho! If you have never listened to “My Lady” you should rectify asap.

Pete Best - Best of the Beatles. You will note the cunning lack of his actual name on the front cover.

Secombe one is IMPRESSIVE

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 26 November 2020 16:35 (three years ago) link

Agreed! Also, that Pete Best cover is legally actionable.

yes m!ch!gan - the feeling's forever (morrisp), Thursday, 26 November 2020 16:43 (three years ago) link

yeah the secombe one is great.

visiting, Thursday, 26 November 2020 16:51 (three years ago) link

At first glance, I thought Secombe was carrying a sawn-off shotgun.
