Best Album Covers of the Past 10 years?

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Gigwise recently posted what they think are “The 50 Best Album Covers of the 2000s”! You can check out all of their top 50 picks, but here are my fave four (with their ranking included)!

santogold-santogold-33
18. Santogold: ‘Santogold’
Maybe it’s just because I love glitter, but I think it really makes this album cover. The more glitter the better I say!

10-animalcollective-merriweath
10. Animal Collective: ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’
Trippy right?! Yeah that’s just a picture! Optical illusions are so confusing but I like them! Downside? Makes my brain hurt if I look at it for too long.

9deathfromabove1979
9. Death From Above 1979: ‘You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine’
Not only is this a fantastic album by a fantastic band (that is now broken up *tear*), but this is a fantastic album cover. Simple looking and simply effortlessly cool. Kinda Andy Warholish too. Rad.

3yeahyeahyeahs-itsblitz
3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs: ‘It’s Blitz!’
Is is blitz! I don’t like eggs usually as a food, but this cracked egg makes some pretty great art!

And now for my own personal choice that didn’t make the list…
vampireweekendcd2
Vampire Weekend: ‘Vampire Weekend’
This album cover makes me miss Polaroid cameras and the way that they could instantly capture a moment. Also this cover completely reflects Vampire Weekend and their preppy fun good times sound! Woohoo!

What album covers are your faves? Did they make the list?

A lil bit of Monday music news!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

* MGMT, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and a German math artist (huh?) are said to guest on the new Flaming Lips LP! Should be something crazy awesome!

*There are pianos all over London England! As part of an art project titled “Play Me, I’m Yours” pianos have been placed all over the city and anyone is free to play them. That would be just lovely if you were strolling down the street and some jaunty tune came out of nowhere! Like you were in a movie!

*Indie rockers, including Sara of Tegan & Sara, TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek and Death Cab For Cutie’s Nick Harmer, share their thoughts on Michael Jackson’s tragic passing.

* The new Most Serene Republic album titled “…And The Ever Expanding Universe” comes out July 14th! If you’re a fan check out a sneak peak full stream here!
