not fair to the feelies !! they were a very self-conscious group of young men "from next door" in the tradition of buddy holly

and crazy rhythms was a packaging dream -- very fresh and airy and roomy and clean and not ambient (with the CD you only get a white jewel case side-piece)

whereas the vinyl looked a bit like this :

George Gosset, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

no, that was the mp3 of the html version of the feelies vinyl, sorry

George Gosset, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

First, I just want to say that the last couple of posts by George Gosset are among the most amusing things I've ever read. Though I fear for George's sanity.

Second, we have a NEW ENTRY, courtesy Sean Carruthers.

The broken one was supposed to be our pal Jaz again...probably didn't work so well anyhow. Here's another one, probably tentative, and then off to bed.

I must say, Alex, that you're frighteningly good at this...

Clarke B., Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that's what the nightshift here at work gets ya. Lots o' freetime to consider simillar album covers....

Alex in NYC, Friday, 21 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sean- also loveless w/ Band of susans' 'the word and the flesh' alb.

Julio Desouza, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, gangsta, how do you do it??

Tracer Hand, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Lots of downtime during the day.....and a ouija board. Actually, the one I'm most impressed with myself about is that Springsteen/Cheap Trick one.

Alex in NYC, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Most entertaining. :-)

That Def Leppard cover is the most hideous album cover ever, and I'm inlcuding Linda Rondstadt here.

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

That's great. I feel less alone in the world knowing that someone else picked up on the Dig Me Out/Kink Kontroversy uh... konnektion, as well as the one between Pavement and Guru Guru.

Jody Beth Rosen, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Best thread EVAH by about 20,000 light years (and I really mean it this time). I'll contribute some covers tomorrow, hopefully.

Jeff W, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey somebody do Herb Alpert/Soul Asylum, K? I'd do it myself but I have to go back to work.

These aren't album covers, but dig the similarity:

Julio Desouza, Thursday, 27 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Look at the gun on the SICK PLEASURE cover....clearly rendered from studying the iconic image on the left.

Alex in NYC, Friday, 28 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Another sacrilege, sorry....
