Pet from Fur Patrol

The pine one with the car was pretty cool

okaaay.......
i reckon:
the venus trail is talented.
anything from jakob.
letterbox lambs latest is sharp.
the purple version of the general electric is snazzy.
the latest gathering cd is nice and green.
shapeshifters d.n.a and real-time covers are frickin cool.
salmonella's dub plates and killervision rule.
killjoy has massive too.
on mentioning... all the music found within my choice of cover art. supersede the art by a country mile. so there.

//'that' magazine
i haven't been bothered sitting through fifty pages to find out if they've included nothing's shocking. but if they haven't, they'll have cemented their lunacy for the world to mock.

//i haven't been bothered sitting through fifty pages to find out if they've included nothing's shocking.

I think that the magazine in question thinks that everyone has the attention span of a Gregorian monk.

Well today I was bored and flicked through all 50. Don't recall seeing Nothing's Shocking in there.

It was the usual line-up, but I couldn't help but think that more than a couple of them were being judged on the music of the album and not the artwork. Like Marvin Gaye, Whats Going On - how is a picture of his face that brilliant?

But yeah a pretty comprehensive line-up of some fricken good artwork. Not many surprises - Sgt Pepper, Nevermind, Dark Side of the Moon etc etc etc.

fuck!!
i forgot hlah's double your strength...??? travesty.
i'll penalise myself by throwing in flick y'r self as well...
i'm sure there must be more than this??

//Well today I was bored and flicked through all 50. Don't recall seeing Nothing's Shocking in there.

It was the usual line-up...
typical. typical underhand tactical corporate musical masturbation. miffed...

Anyway heres some more NZ examples (albeit recent ones) I think deserve a mention:

HLAH - Blood on the Honky Tonk Floor
Everyone is talking about that guy Andrew WK and how he has a nosebleed on the cover of his album. But HLAH did it first and this was like a real mosher guy who got seriously f***ked up at one of their gigs. Classic, and soooo HLAH.

King Kapisi - Savage Thoughts
Just beautiful photography, real Pacific feeling to it, and a really powerful image.

Brubeck - The Myclonic Twitch
I don't know why I like this, but I do. Blimin good album as well.

Gramsci - Permanence
Nice, simple and strong - much like the music.

we've got a letter from the dude on the Honky Tonk album on the site too. Very funny reading.

Huh? I'm a lil slow. You mean the machine in the picture? Maybe I don't want to go there...

yeah the picture, its not a machine really ... no more clue's

Id say the 'Good' CD (goodshirt) The cover rawks, and the stickers are such an original idea. I heard for their next album their thinking of doing a scratch and sniff =)

I also liked the old silencer cover, with the dummy (pacifier thing) on the front.. people are gonna kill me for saying that, but i do.

And the Darcy Clay album cover. Thats pretty kewl too.

I really like the artwork on Plutos The Red Light Syndrome, apparently one of the guys in the band did it.

Whats the name of that Sceptics album with the really cool cover? I think some other old school people might know what I'm talking about.

hahahaha the inside-back of Sommerset's Fats Cars Slow Guitars - ABSOLUTE CLASSIC.
I hope i havent spoilt anything for the guys. oh well. go NZ punk.
