I was hoping for something similar for I’m Walking or Walking To New Orleans, but no.

the poignant simplicity of Here Stands Fats Domino more than makes up for it tho:

apparently this variation also exists:

Nice of the lady to let Frankie borrow her lipstick too.

Marlana Shaw (RIP): Out of Different Bags

She’s not out of them, looks to me like she’s got plenty of bags. I suppose she could be out of some… different bags. Different different bags.

Peter Bardens - Write My Name In The Dust

Although he doesn't have his name written in the dust, so maybe it doesn't belong here.

Wonder if there was a conversation about whether the artist and title should be switched, and it got nixed bc someone thought that would be too yawnsomely literal

that's something else right there.

literal for sure, yawnsome idk, that rules!

I finally got a copy of Fire Of Unknown Origin, and I never before noticed how literal the cover art is (though, it's the opposite of yawnsome, to be fair).

Surprised I never posted this, it was one of a handful of jazz LPs my parents owned when I was little and I used to stare at it a lot for some reason.

Since he died recently I though I'd repost this one, a favourite yawnsomely literal album cover of mine.
