Congrats to Field, the winner of the YES poster (he claims it's for his "brother-in-law", it's always a brother-in-law who loves YES). I'm heading out of town and will miss a couple shows but I trust Tish will be up to her usual curve-ball programming (LOVED billy the monster this week).

as discussed en route to the hood:
My vote would be for the early Prince album covers, the ones where it looks like he's trying to hide his penis. I'll just group them all into one.
and absolutely: aphex twin, windowlicker (in the category of portraiture--Prince is definetely in the category of narrative)
I love the Sparks' covers, especially Kimono My House and Propoganda.

I have to say all those Bruce Springsteen covers where Bruce is very much trying not to hide his ass. His jeans-clad ass. I also always like album covers that involve big baby heads or cake.
tonight:
i'm fond of the cover for 'These Things Too' by Pearls Before Swine. there's something so perfect about that cover and the music inside. a living room record.
and a favorite has always been Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life'.
and then there are the covers for 50/60's jazz albums. so strong - on so many levels.
and what about that early Bikini Kill LP ... the black & white cover, and that dress, those fishnets, and the shoes, and the moment captured ...
