I seriously giggled out loud about some of the things he writes about. Very interesting and fun to learn about the insights of Warhol."
Un Dia: Juana Molina
1 recommendation
"not just brilliant Juana Molina album... Here's what Other Music had to say: Argentinean singer-songwriter Juana Molina is an originator. A sound pioneer. She's the only artist we know that could somehow justifiably be compared to Animal Collective, Bebel Gilberto, Bjork, Beth Orton, and Red House Painters. On her fifth full-length, "Un Dia," Molina’s voice is carried like a buoy, and her di..."

Go through the book "front to back" and it showcases award winning cover designs, turn over and upside down to flip "back to front" and you'll see some of the more conceptual work, one-off designer pet projects that are a wonder to see.

"Mysterious and lamentful, that's how the cover image of Red House Painters "Ocean Beach" feels.

Undercover ~ The Rolling Stones
1 recommendation
""Undercover" is a black leather, soul injected, blood spattered, back-room grove stained 1970's hangover. But I like it. The tracks on "Undercover" extend the disco era Stones sound, which is a safe place to return to after all these years. I still enjoy the urgent guitar effects and disco overtones on "Undercover of the Night", the fun tongue-in-cheek vocals on "Feel On Baby", and even the disco ..."

""Rolled Gold +" is for people like me, I actually like the various best of's the Stones have put out over the years. Like their live shows the song selection "Rolled Gold" are put together with care. Anyway "Rolled Gold +" is an extended version of the original 1975 "Rolled Gold" and a smooth and sexy typographic cover design by Barcelona designer Alex Trochut. Some of my favorite cuts: I Wa..."

So Kaburagi: Stray Cat Rock - Sex Hunter/Furyo Syojo Mako
2 recommendations
"Freaky fuzzy grooves from two obscure Nikkatsu movies -- both of them scored by So Kaburagi in a great blend of heavy drums and tripped-out guitar -- with lots of funky moments throughout! The music here almost outdoes some of the best psyche-inspired soundtracks from the US and Europe in the late 60s -- and like some of the best of those, Kaburagi brings in some slight jazz undercurrents as well ..."
Teenager ~ Thrills
1 recommendation
"Ok, I bought it because of the cover art, I don't mind, I'm o.k. with that--some of my friends buy "Travis" records, and I'm already guilty of owning an "Aztec Camera" album or two."
