Candy Darling on her/his death bed.



Has anyone heard this record (Antony & the Johnsons - I am a Bird Now)? If so, what do you think of it?

[swoon]

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

 

[Star Power]

OMG UR SO FUNNY. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

 

[Chony]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

whose that death metal band that put the picture of one of their members after he killed himself with a shotgun to the head on the cover of their album?

 

[White Man]

That was Mayhem. Dawn of the Black Hearts.

This is the greatest album cover ever:

is that black chick from Punky Brewster?

 

[moist]

Cattle Decapitations Humanure cover wins

[White Man]

is that black chick from Punky Brewster?

I do not know. I am much too intelligent to watch television.

It does look like she's applying enough pressure to the bowels to cause the vagus to make her heart rate drop. She appears to be a large woman. I wouldn't be shocked if she had a heart attack after this picture was taken. Behold the awful grimace upon her strained face!

Actually, scratch that. The feather boa just created the illusion of largeness. Who wears a feather boa to the can? She must just be sending a bowling pin out to sea or something. The look on her face! I feel empathy!

It's a good album, but his voice tends to overwhelm me a bit. If you're a fan of interesting voices, check it out.

they the best part about it i think. anyway nin has some really awful covers.

 

[Minotauro]

I've always liked this one:

Understated but evocative.

 

[Manics]

Some album covers I've liked:

The ones that just came to mind.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

This cover has always been a favorite of mine. As for the record itself, I thought it was just ok at the time, but now I feel the album has aged better than most of thier older(fan favorite) SST releases.

 

[Outlaw]

 

[Friend]

 

[Meier]

A few cool new album covers:

I prefer the non-limited edition Sterephonics one but the LE one is pretty cool too.

 

[Diablos]

Winner.

 

[The Fronde]

It folds out to reveal an awesome extended scene, intriguing and serious yet whimsical at the same time...

 

[Ford Prefect]

Doesn't get any better than

 

[Litigation Manuel]

[aoi tsuki]

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

I really like this one. Good album.

 

[Lambtron]

Not "beautiful," but awesome.

I second the nominations of Sonic Nurse and Unknown Pleasures.

And that Antony & The Johnsons record is fucking awesome.

 

[RobotChant]

I could never get into Devendra, but so far I'm liking the Antony & the Johnsons album. "Hope There's Someone" is really good.

I've always thought highly of this cover. Anybody who's ever seen it automatically wants to listen to it. Not many covers can do that.

 

[calder]

Always my favourite album cover/title combination

Way back in HS my buddy knew a guy with a tshirt printing thing, we made a few dozen Afghan Wigs tshirts with the cover to "Gentlemen" and sold them like hotcakes to pretty much every girl we knew.

[Eminem]

all the art that came with Laterlaus:

 

[Ill Saint]

Merzbow - 1930

Naked City - Absinthe (Hans Bellmer artwork)

John Zorn - Taboo & Exile (The package as a whole)

Pretty much anything on Tzadik and Avant records, the production values are just amazing. Consistantly gorgeous artwork, typfacing, stock and print quality.
