This takes the cake, the icing, the cherry and whip cream with sprinkles.

My favorite album covers have been Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Billy Joel's the Stranger, Jackson Five's Dancing Machine, Willie Nelson's Stardust, the album art of Peter Saville-especially New Order's Substance and The Twilight Singers' She Loves You. There is a clear talent in designing for albums, but album art is already taken over by Cd inserts created for plastic jewel cases, and it's not the same. In a short time from now, the jpeg/pdf layout for itunes download purchases will completely take the cd insert's place.

Still, if anyone want's to put out some vinyl and let me design the album art, give me a holler.

In the meantime, take a load off and enjoy the freak show.
