i love how this album was one of the first ones to break the standards of the typical hip hop albums using famous photos to show what was happening in society. these photos used in the album represented “visual failure in society.” things fall apart was a step towards social activism both in their music and imagery. by kn

roy kafri takes on classic vinyl covers and brings them to life in bizarre and eerily seamless way. kafri has created an entire music video elevating the art of the gif, a perfect homage to the music we all grew up listening to. by sp
this is ‘theme no.1’ by balmorhea, off their ‘rivers arms’ album. it is rare these days that we come across such ambient, nostalgic, mood moving music. i can put this on repeat, it’s that good.
unfortunately, this youtube video is not the official video for the track but it still delivers the score for you to mellow out to. it also may make you want to watch gus van sant’s ‘good will hunting.’ to hear more checkout their website here. enjoy. by kgb

this is absolutely one of our favorite album covers. one man on fire, the other not–floyd’s idea that you can be burned at any given moment, so you should conceal your real feelings. a little known fact, the burning man IS actually on fire; before the shoot, he prepped by wearing an asbestos suit and a wig, then dousing himself with gasoline and lighting a match. certainly going to lengths for a good reason, any pink floyd fan would agree. the cover was designed by hipgnosis, the english art design group who specialized in rock albums. by nk + sv
vinyl was so scarce in the old ssur, that some brilliant minds came up with the idea of using leftover radiographs as a replacement in the pressing process. apparently the center hole was often made by burning it with a cigarette. may we suggest banning vinyl world wide. by kt
film soundtracks for films never made. maybe nk would be inspired. by xy
