Someone answer the question of WTF is a newspaper album

http://www.thekingoflimbs.com/DIUSD.htm:

Many large sheets of artwork, 625 tiny pieces of artwork and a full-colour piece of oxo-degradeable plastic to hold it all together.

Alternate answer:

I'm gonna go out on a limb* here and guess this hollywood bowl show is gonna be radiohead

*pun not intended

[thombjork]

Who's Radiohead?

they're a band from England. they sound a lot like Muse.

EDIT: that attempt at sarcasm felt better in my head than it ended up looking on the interweb

I'd say there's a towering* stack of evidence that would lead me to believe this is false.

possible...but they're gonna need at least 2 days at the bowl like last time in 08 i would imagine

This:

they're a band from England.

Cancels out this:

In a night featuring American bands, we celebrate our spirit and resolve under the stars of the summer sky. Guests to be announced.

No chance. You wouldn't want them to do one of those KCRW World Festival gigs, anyway. They always go like this:
Opener: 7-7:30
Second Act: 7:45-8:30-45
Third Act: 8:45/9-10pm

Ahhhh I didn't see that part

You can see a really early version of the supposed back cover in the 'In The Shed' picture they put up on the website months ago

[J~$$$$]

The paintings all fold over onto themselves. like a mad comic.

[Fourthisto]

I assume so, as standard versions are out mid march.

The 28th is the middle of March?? Holy CRAP its 56 days long!??!?! June just got OWN'D!

[HandBanana]

Their artwork has been getting progressively worse since Kid A.
All the Bends and OK Computer era stuff was brilliant.
Kid A seemed cool at the time but has aged awfully.
Amnesiac was so phoned in it was silly.
HTTF was like a high school art project.
In Rainbows was pretty generic, altho the type concept was intreresting, if poorly executed.
And this just looks like bad City Artwalk stuff hanging in a vintage boutique in Tulsa.

End of March then, you pedantic little person, you.

[crazzz2007]

hooray!

I feel the same way about the actual tunes on it. :shrug: Yeah, I'm that guy.

Heheh... it's not every day that a makeup-less Katy Perry calls me a details-oriented midget. I feel like I really accomplished something today.

How can you say that? The OK Computer artwork looks like a 5th graders oral report on public transit, a really fucking good one though. Donwood's work has definitely improved over time.

If anyone ever asks me, "brah, what was 1993 like?" I will link them to this and give them a copy of Jurrasic Park.

It was pretty much like that.

^ Well weren't those 3 crucial posts in a row.

ur point is? (other than being a dick)

[C DUB YA]

As far as artwork... and speaking as a designer...

I hate Pablo, Bends and Kid A artwork.

I quite like HTTT and Ok Computer.

In Rainbows, Amnesiac and KOL fall somewhere in between right now

[J~$$$$]

"speaking as a Designer"

[menikmati]

I wonder how many of you are are gonna kill yourselves when Thom Yorke and/or Radiohead cease to exist.

Speaking as a dick, I laughed because it came from menik.

I could not possibly disagree more. I HATE the Pablo Honey cover. Absolutely hate it. The Bends is pretty cool, but OK Computer is about the most "meh" album cover of all time, especially for such an awesome album.

Now I do agree that HTTT leaves something to be desired. But Amnesiac and Kid A are my favorite Radiohead album covers (and maybe favorite albums). In Rainbows I thought was a kind of lame title for an album until I realized recently why they named it that, but I love the whole vibe the album cover gives.

EDIT: And I think that The King of Limbs cover is pretty sweet.

So yeah, totally disagree. Feel the opposite actually.
