A guy on Etsy glitters old LP covers.
LMFAO Phil Collins

So bad.
There was a Bowie China Girl shoe/cd sculpture thingy that took the cake.

Paul Butterfield's 1975 album "Put It In Your Ear", produced by the great Henry Glover. Giving new meaning to "Ear Worm".

Did this record get released before or after the lead singer’s dick exploded? :roll:

Cannot get a link-able image, but please take a moment to enjoy / recoil in horror from the wicked lizard leer on the the face of Floyd Tillman on his "Slippin' around with..." album:

Here's a sample:

Y'know, they said the Trump era would produce great art. Maybe that will happen in the second half of his first term? So far, we've mostly been served up hamfisted post-Adbusters art like this cover from Los Angeles nu metal survivors Otep. This is the kind of image that one would be tempted to call a Banksy knockoff, but that feels like a cheap shot at Banksy. It's more like a Plastic Jesus or Mr. Brainwash knockoff. This is art for people who watch The Purge movies and conclude that we do in fact live in a society.


A funny read, with that one most definitely the worst of them all. Thunderpussy and Neko Case are not so easy on the eyes/brain, either. :/
