a lot of the "on the rocks" albums—and there are a lot—are pretty bad but not nec yawnsomely literal.
i would like them to be standing on surfboards on top of those rocks please

the cover for wailing souls' on the rocks has me confused, however.https://img.discogs.com/foYSWABLprWb85l-qK0BsdHsfEw=/fit-in/600x588/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-602316-1209022645.jpeg.jpg

wailing souls cover reminds me when my wife and i were looking to get some hay bales for a halloween party. her country-fried coworker says "you don't want hay you want straw-hay. hay-hay's got chopped up snakes and shit in there." i think of this at least a few times a year.
― andrew m., Wednesday, 29 January 2020 15:48 (four years ago) link
the lesson: ask for straw hay, people.
I'm very anxious about getting The Surfers double bass back to shore without salt water damage.

At the last minute, the art director got worried this wasn't obvious enough, so added some Bound Hands for contrast.
