Top 50 ‘Free’ CD Covers Showdown 2008-03-05 15:00:04 This is my first in a series of CD Cover Showdown
s—a showcase of 50 sleeves from the past few decades, that use a particular word or phase in their album title. Why? Because I think it is interesting to contrast the varied styles and approaches to these designs for any given word—and take a look [...] Read more:Covers
Get Cape Wear Young Knives Fly? 2008-03-02 18:14:08 Yeah, this is a rather mixed-up title for a kind of strange review…well, more like an album art face-off. The image below shows the new Get Cape Wear Cape Fly CD Cover for Searching for the Hows and Whys.
Hmmm, weird, yes—but I’ve seen something similar before. The album Voices of Animals and Men by The [...] Read more:Knives

Firstly, I don’t know what it actually is - apart from the typography, obviously. Secondly, with the Accelerate being so [...]
The Future of iTunes: Album Artwork Banned by Steve Jobs! 2008-01-24 17:11:17 I few months ago, I wrote a post about how Brit-band Hard-Fi were opposed to AlbumArtwork
on their new release. If this wasn’t enough, I recently heard that at least one band is now doing a similar thing (I can’t seem to find out how, if you have any information, please leave a comment). [...] Read more:Banned

That Guillemots CD is Red, so Get Over It! 2008-03-25 12:21:55 The Guillemots are hardly a famed-bunch for fantastic album artwork—take a look at Through the Windowpane for example, but when I saw the design for the single Get Over It (below), I simply gasped. Why? Because, after hearing the track (and incidentaly liking it) I pondered the reason why the CD design was simply a [...]
