Alex, fuck, you are the king of these!

derrick (derrick), Friday, 7 January 2005 05:18 (twenty years ago)

Thanks, Derrick. Not always, though. Some work better than others.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 7 January 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

For example, these two don't really match, but the latter really reminds me of the former.

I'm sure we could do a whole thread of "skinny tie and sax" covers...

Alex, who is that next to the Bauhaus? I immediately thought that looked like Andrew Ridgeley, until I realized how embarrassing it is to instantly associate anything with Andrew Ridgeley. Anyway, let me know k thx bye

the scissor sisters one is great - the other cover is the profile view!

pete b. (pete b.), Friday, 7 January 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

who is that next to the Bauhaus?

That's aging, new agey electronic music luminary, Jean-Michel Jarre.

genre-mining takes the sweat out of this:

ONe could probably make a whole other thread based on this.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 7 January 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

I don't think there's any way I could come up with this sort of stuff. My brain just doesn't work like that.

I just noticed the best cover connection ever.
One is an album
One is a book!
Yay!

Øystein (Øystein), Monday, 31 January 2005 13:57 (twenty years ago)

Alex or Jay-Kid, I can't do this and I have a request. If you have the time and the inclination, please put Roger Waters' The Pros and Cons of Hitchiking next to Silver Jews' American Water. I've always been curious. (have the Joos album, only seen the Waters' album. . . .)

it's very easy, you know. just picturesearch the covers on g00gle, click you way to the axtual jpeg's, copy the url and paste it in the ilx text field with an 'i' in front of it.

Not a cover, but you can use it to buy covers (it's the new US nickel).

If the new penny design is a picture of Abe Lincoln sitting on the roof of a log cabin, I'm gonna get suspicious...

Someone suggested that to me a while back. I dunno. It'd be cool, but I get the impression that it'd be a huge hassle to get the permission from all the respective record labels.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 19 February 2005 12:01 (twenty years ago)

yeah, but i think it can be done. i know people who have experience in clearing songs and videos for compilations. they can help. i mean, we're not going to make any money on it anyway, so we might as well give a bit of it to people like them. i'll get in touch with you via mail.

Jay-Kid (Jay-Kid), Saturday, 19 February 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

haha i was really baffled by that prince/strokes one at first. now i see. these are great.

Leeeter van den Hoogenband (Leee), Saturday, 19 February 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

I did that one some time ago (sorry, I'm not trying to be a bitch about it).

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 21 February 2005 00:05 (twenty years ago)

I was so proud of it too.
