Upon flipping through the damn near 30 page book in the new Ry Cooder disc, I realized that there is some good album art showing up out there in Ought Five. I've mentioned before that cd's aren't nearly as cool as the LP in terms of packaging possibilities, but there's still some nice looking design popping up to sell cds.

So, on with the show, brought to you by the colors dark red and black...

Okkervil River :: Black Sheep Boy



… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Ry Cooder :: Chavez Ravine



… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Sleater-Kinney :: The Woods



… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Trail of Dead :: Worlds Apart



… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

John Hiatt :: Master Of Disaster



… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

These are but a few, but it's a nice trend. First person to post either Of Montreal's Sunlandic Twins or MIA's Arular should PM me their address so that I may mail you a bag from Office Depot containing my vomit.

It would've been better without that thing in the upper-right-hand corner.

That Trail of Dead cover is great, too.

Pajo - Pajo

that is sweet...I love album covers with no text.

Yeah, that's Dave Pajo of Slint/Tortoise/Will Oldham/M./Papa M./Ariel M./Zwan pedigree. I've heard good things about the album and have it on order.

That Fantomas booklet thing is a pretty cool package setup.

I like that John Hiatt cover, but now for some reason I have surf rock music running through my head....

I don't think the internet does this album art justice


But Billy Corgan should not be allowed to make records anymore b/c his cover art was attrocious.

I don't know why but I think Edan's album cover is pretty great.

That m83 looks like an 80's yuppie movie

Fantomas one is awesome

this is sooooooooooooo good.....yeah...its that good

Yea, I'm pretty excited for that Pajo album.

Edit: I'll add this one:

ok it's not from 2005, but it's the first thing i think of when i think about covers and circle jerks.
