Adventures in album artwork
Back when vinyl was giving way to tapes & CDs, I heard purists bemoan the loss of a large-format way to distribute album artwork. Now with the prevalance of downloads, do you know offhand what artwork is attached to most of your music? iTunes tries to help, but it's an uphill battle. Anyway...- Nikolay Saveliev's rad Pop Matters project consists of "Vinyl record sleeves with 2-sided insert featuring faux-academic material on pop music and the state of the record industry... Snuck onto used& new record store shelves." Personal fave: "Nickelback: The Recursiveness of Professional Mediocrity."
