Yall. I feel like I’m getting older–not like actually falling behind on trends. But more of like ‘confused and lost.’ I think it’s cuz I can’t tell the difference between OPTICAL ILLUSION MEMES and Animal Collective Album Art. Kinda frustrating. Wish AnCo would put their name on their albums so that I wouldn’t be so confused.
Merriweather Post Pavillion Meme

Untitled EP ?

The Zany Spinning Lady EP?

Krazie Roulette Wheel EP?

Searching for Grey Dots between the lines EP?

The Circle of Life EP?

Can some1 please tell me which of these are album art, and which of these are just memes?
WTF is the difference between design, art, and memes?
What is the best album art of all time?
Is it Santana’s SUPERNATURAL [ft Michelle Branch and Rob Thomas]?

Is it Matchbox 20?

Is it Deep Blue Something?

Is it SantosGold?

Or is it the GooGoo Dolls?

Do yall think artists who still sell CDs with packaging are ruining our environment?
What should I do with all of the jewel cases from my youth?
Should I buy a CD binder and have it stolen from my car [via 2001]?
Should I get an iPod with a lot of space and brag about how many songs I have on it?
Should I boycott artists who do non-digital releases?
Do yall think it is funnie when a local band thinks they have ‘made it’ when their music is on sale at iTunes?

But wait. It’s not “Santogold” any more. She changed her name to “Santigold.” Not even kidding.

@Yeah Right Radio,
Shades of Dionne Warwick, who briefly changed her name to Dionne Warwicke on the advice of a psychic.

You win. By far. Santigold did it for a legal reason. Some 80’s crap artist said he used “Santo Gold” first.

Another AnCo post… Finally! At first I was just as cynical as you about the gimmicky album art. Then I realized it was a metaphor… We are all optical illusions, if ya think about it.
