Minor point of contention however, that guy on the Spoon cover isn't relaxing on his own album cover.

I knows. I don't know what his story is but he should probably hook up with the anonymous girl on VW's Contra album...

Can chicks be dudes? Cause if so.....

sure. being a dude is a state of mind, after all.

There are some strange definitions of 'chair' in this thread. Nevermind 'relaxed'.
