Kickball Katy 'goes solo' from Vivian Girls, shows off her BANGIN BOD on new La Sera album cover


Kickball Katy is known for showing off her AMAZING BOD on last year's Bruise Cruise [link]. As a member of the Vivian Girls, she continually showed off her indie keutness with fiery red hair (without the downsides of traditional gingers) and AMAZING bangs. Even if her music 'totally sucks' and is worse than Best Coast, we can still count on her having a very buzzworthy year based on looks alone.

Apparently, her solo buzzband's name is La Sera, which is probably Spanish for 'The Red Head With Bangs with a BANGIN Bod.' It seems like she is vibing out in a vintage Wednesday Addams dress on the cover of her new album. I wonder if she got that at a thrift store, and if she sent it to the dry cleaners b4 she put it on because it smelled all funky, like a grandma's saggy vagine.

Did she make a good decision 2 'go solo' from the Vivian Girls?
Are the Vivian Girls 'nothing' without her?
Which Viv Girls off-shoot will have a better buzz year: La Sera or The Babies or Coasting or that girl who got unfairly fired from Best Coast?
Does Kickball Katy have the BANGINGEST BOD in indie?
Will she become a 'top tier indie diva' in 2k12?

Justice puts a naked broad on their single title so that people will talk about them

justice naked On'n'On single album art cover
Let's face it. Justice's 2k11 release was a huge flop. No1 even liked it because no1 listens to prog rock. I have no idea what 'prog rock' even is. Might as well just call it 'boring rock.' Anyways, they have some new 'single' called 'on'n'on' that no1 is even interested in hearing, but in order to 'get buzz', they put a nude broad on the 'single cover.' Of course, social networks like FB will be all like 'take it down' and iTunes will be all like 'n0 b00bz allowed.' Really desperate attempt to launch a meme. But at least the broad is 'mad hot', although full frontal would be appreciated.

There is a nude woman on this cover. U can see her side boob. A nice puffy nip. There is a cross. There is a bulldozer. Most importantly, a hot, nude broad.

Here is the song that is hard 2 even listen 2

Is Justice 'still relevant'?
Did they 'lose steam' bc they didn't release an album for 3 years?
Should they have capitalized on the emerging dubstep scene?
Did Skrillex / Deadmau5 steal all of their fans?
Will we look back and consider the mismanagement of Justice's LP2 as the greatest 'missed opportunity' of all time in indie history?
Do u vibe 2 prog rock?

Lana Del Rey looks ToTaLLy FaKe on her album cover!


Lana BB! Is that U?

U honestly look real good, bb! Is that ur house behind u? I love LOVE LOVE ur Fence! I honestly dream that 1 day I will be able to own my own house, but I have TERRIBLE credit. I applied 4 a new apartment, but the landlord told me that I was poor. It was honestly because my exBF opened multiple credit cards in my name, then maxed them out and didn't tell me for years! He ended up in jail, and I never heard from him. It was emberssing, but at the same time, liberating because I became free from his orders. I was tired of making him sammies!

U look AMAZING in ur see-thru shirt! I honestly would never wear that bc there are regions of my body that I cannot reach when I attempt to scrub them. One time, I hired a man from down the street to give me a sponge bath, but he just stole most of my valuables while I was relaxing in the bubbles. What can I say, bubble baths are my achilles heals!

I LOVE Lana Del Rey! My BF used to play video games, too! He was so lazy, ugh! He never talked to me, he jsut talked to his team members on his little headset and used up my pay-as-u-go phone minutes!

Zooey Deschanel doesn't look sexy enough on her new album cover


Let's face it. Zooey Deschanel will do anything for money. Music. Movies. TV. Sponsored commercial jingles. Launching blogs. Launching perfumes. Shoe lines. Vintage dresses. Seasonal boxed chocolates. Massage chairs at Sharper Image. Exclusive flesh lights.

Obviously, her band She & Him are trying to get in on the Christmas market to have some 'killer' holiday album sales. The guy in her band clearly 'has no spine' OR he just likes making easy money off his indie maiden with bangs. Make some crappy songs, have her sing with her whimsical frog voice over it, then u make $$$. Probably actually his best career choice.

It's a shame that they still market themselves as a 'boy-girl' duo who are making 'totally legit' authentic songs. Zooey should just 'go solo', except that means hire a bunch of producers and she gets to keep more of the $$$ without having to split it with that dude.

If u asked me, she does NOT look sexi enough on this album cover. Plus that bro ruins the vibe, too. I wish she was wearing a sexi Santa bikini. Hopefully she takes on a role that requires 'full frontal' soon, because she will probably go into the cliched 'i want 2 be taken seriously as an actress' phase that results in misguided nudity.

R u gonna buy this Xmas album?
Do u think she looks good?
Should ZoZo go solo?

WAVVES continues to make crappy album art


If there's 3 things that we know 4 sure abt WAVVES, 1 = he is in <3 with Bethany Cosentino... 2 = he loves watching TV and smoking dank then tweeting abt his feelings abt TV and how being high feels like... and #3 = he can always be counted on to release some krappie album art. This is supposed to be a picture of the Foo FIghter guy Dave Grohl. Eventually they will probably meet at a music festival, and some1 will take a pic of them, and blogs will be all like "NATHAN WILLIAMS FINALLY MET THE NIRVANA DRUMMER GUY, YALL!'

we have an exclusive premiere of artwork from Williams' new EP Life Sux, which will feature the song "I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl." "That's Dave Grohl. It was drawn by Nick Gazin and it looks like Bradford Cox from Deerhunter with long hair," says Williams of the cover image. "Those are hobo symbols on the side, I think." The Grohl-loving first single from Life Sux premieres on MTV's new hipster comedy I Just Want My Pants Back following the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.

As yall know, WAVVES and Bethany will take any sponsored mainstream handout that they can get, because they are in a continual process of upgrading their HDTV several inches per month.

M83 puts some alt floozies on the cover of their album. Are they totally TUGGABLE?


M83 has some new album coming out, and I'm sure it will be good, with the synthy bleep bloop shoes gazie wavies that make them so popular. I'm not really concerned/interested in all that. Check out their album cover 4 "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming." Those are 2 TOTALLY KEUT alt floozies.

Nothing gets my alternative peen harder than a pair of altfloozies staring right at me. I start 2 wonder everything abt them. How long have they been alt 4...? What kind of music do they listen 2? Where do they shop? Are they going 2 Coachella? What type of alcoholic beverage do they drink? What alt space on which alt part of town do they live on? What do they like doing in their alt free time? What kind of alt guy are they in2? Can I be alt enough 2 be the man of their dreams?

M83 understands that 'sex sells', and their target market will certainly cream their pants to this alternative image.

Will they break the 9.0 barrier?
Is their music 'fresh' or do they just keep their brand consistent?

Feist planks on her new album cover just to cash in on the planking trend


Feist FINALLY has a new album coming out that the entire world is waiting to judge. She used to be 'that Candian woman with bangs who sang the whimsical song in that iPad commercial', but now the pressure is on for her to deliver one of the greatest female albums of all time, even better than Carole King's "Tapestry."

If there's one thing we CAN say about Feist, is that she loves hopping on trends. She loved being in that iPod nano commercial back when iPods were a 'trend'. Unfortunately, now Android has a HUGE marketshare and ppl no longer carry mp3s on USB drive-wave devices like iPods. She can't be in a mainstream commercial 2 sell mp3s. Now she seems to have gotten in on the whole 'planking' thing by planking on her new album cover.

Sorta wish she really tried to push the art of planking 2 such great heights, like these bros who vibe out in a tiny kitchen.

Honestly really unimpressed by Feist's plank. She is taking it TOO E-Z. NBA Superstar Dwight Howard executes a perfect plank bc of his AMAZING CORE, which is TOTALLY activated

Do u think Feist's album will be as mediocre as her planking attempt?
Is 'planking' no longer a relevant trend?
Can Feist replicate her 1st album's success, or was that a perfect storm of circumstances and now she waited 2 long?
Will Feist be the next ex-indie artist to win a Grammy?
Now that the Arcade Fire won a Grammy, is it time for us to start 'shitting on' Canadian music instead of hyping it?
Have u and ur bros ever taken a zany planking picture?

Death Cab for Cutie's horrible new album art is totally lamestream


I just saw this album art for the new Death Cab for Cutie album "Codes and Keys." It seems like it is some sort of custom Wheat Thin. Or maybe Zooey Deschanel did an 'arts and crafts project' and forced Benjamin Gibbard 2 put it on the cover but the band is all like 'nooo' but Ben is like "I was in the Postal Service, bitches!" Really confused. I can't help but think about who Death Cab for Cutie used 2 b, and what they used to mean to alt... and just wonder how they got to where they are now.

What does this have 2 do with Codes or Keys? Should the name of this album be "HASHTAGS & TRENDING TOPICS"?

Is the new WAVVES album art the frontrunner for worst album art of the year?


I just saw this album art for WAVVES new song/single "TV Luv Song." I don't really care abt his music because it all sounds the same and when Bethany dumps him, interest in his career will go down ~80%, but you can't help but notice this 'horrible/racist' album art that showcases a portrait of TV's Carl Winslow.

Carl Winslow was a lovable TV dad from the hit show 'Family Matters.' He seemed chill, just a hard working 'new money' African American, trying to raise his family 'right' in the modern white American society world.
carl winslow police

Really feel like his family woulda been better if he 'ditched' Urkel.

Anyways, seems kinda unchill for WAVVES to change the colour of his skin bc he hates black ppl. This is easily one of the worst album art covers of the year, joining the Vivian Girls in the race for the 2k11 worst album art of the year award.

Here is the song if u feel like being bored 4 like 1 minute and 44 seconds.

Radiohead tries 2 kill the Arcade Fire's vibe by releasing new album this week

the king of limbs radiohead album art
After the Arcade Fire won the most important Grammy of the year, 'going mainstream' for the sake of indie, it seems like Radiohead had to 'respond' and steal the headlines away. It must be a UK thing, like they wanted to let North America know that their music is 'way better'/'more relevant' than the crap we export from here. Really an unchill indie move by them, but I guess u shouldn't expect anything more from 'the Owl City of dubstep' as many critics call them.

The members of Radiohead say they'll make their eighth full-length album, The King of Limbs, available for purchase and download this coming Saturday on the band's website. According to the site, they're calling it "the world's first newspaper album." It includes two 10-inch vinyl records, a CD, more than 600 pieces of artwork and a digital download. The physical album will ship on May 9, while the downloadable version will be available Saturday.

Oh damn. Ur not gonna In_Rainbows that shit? Guess yall are pretty greedy. Fans are definitely gonna be pissed that they are gonna have 2 purchase ur album. What's the deal with being abt Limbs? Why do yall gotta be all dark all the time, Thom? Cmon bro... Ride some positive vibes 4 once in ur life.

When Radiohead released its previous album, In Rainbows, the band allowed fans to download the record for whatever price fans felt like paying. This time, the band is again self-releasing the album, but is charging a fixed price.

If I wanted to buy a fixed price album with bundled goodies, I'd buy some crappy indie albums off bandcamp.

Feel like Radiohead are 'the biggest dicks in the world right now. U know how much this meant 2 indie. We gotta share headlines. U shoulda let the Arcade Fire have their day 2 bask in the positive vibes of the internet. Ur selfish. Shame on u, Thom Yorke... Shame on u.

Win Butler has got 2 be mad pissed at Thom Yorke right now. Not very chillwave of Thom at all.

The Strokes reveal new cover art for "Angles." Is it a letdown?

Strokes angles album art
I just saw the album art for The Strokes' new album Angeles. Can't help but be a little bit scared after their first song was sorta just a branded Strokes song letdown [link]. The album cover seems to feature a lot of angles. It must be some sort of metaphor or something.

It seems like this album cover might be ripping off the popular video game Q-Bert. Just a bunch of angles. Living in a video game alternate reality or something. Hopping around. Trying to gain points.

UPDATE: Sources say that this game rips off Crystal Castles (the retro video game, not the buzzband).

Is the Vivian Girls' album cover the early front runner for 'worst album art of the year'?


At the end of every year, blogs will aggregate a fun visual meme that compiles the worst album art of the year. It seems like this year, the Vivian Girls are using the buzz strategy of 'doodling the worst album art possible' to try to get blog coverage. I think they might be trying to 'distract us' from their sadness because they didn't get to escape from their own middling buzzband to join Best Coast, who is clearly the #1 female fuzzy buzzy band in the world (mainly because they hired a male AZN fuzzy buzz guru) [link].

BREAKING: Panda Bear releases OFFICIAL TOMBOY album art

Panda Bear Tomboy album art
Even though no1 even believes that TOMBOY is going to come out anymore bc it has taken so long, Panda Bear went ahead and released this [GRAPHIC] cover art. I wish the album would just 'leak' already because this incremental meme release is really just making me sad. Making me angry. Making me wonder 'Why don't I have these mp3s in my iTunes library already?' There is so much hatred inside of me. I sorta wish Ariel Pink would just release a new 'hyped' album now. Ready to move on past TOMBOY.

It seems like it depicts some sort of woman or little girl crying her eyes out. What do u think the album art 'means'?

If I had 2 guess, I would say that this represents some1 who is living in 2k10, and there aren't any buzzworthy mp3s coming out, and every release was a flop, and every1 was waiting for Panda Bear, but he never released TOMBOY and we were all sad and crying.

Do u 'believe' that TOMBOY is actually coming out?
Is it 'about goddamned time'?

Here is an excerpt from a funnie press release:

Recorded at his studio in Lisbon, Tomboy sees Lennox stepping away from the sample-based parameters of his previous record and incorporating more guitar and synthesizer. Still prevalent, though, is the interest in texture that made Person Pitch such a dense record; crashing waves and cheering crowds bounce against the gurgling arpeggios and give the tracks an immense sense of space. Soaked in reverb and punctuated with inflections of delay, the album's drums reveal a dub influence which gives them a visceral punch that lingers after each hit. Lennox's lofty, self-harmonizing vocals smooth out the songs, and Sonic Boom's mixing gives the work a large dynamic range. With Tomboy, Lennox has created a more plaintive atmosphere, but in accordance with the conflicting image of its title, the highs of the album balance out its lows. The record, massive in its span of emotion, genre, and sound, is the welcome return of one of the most prolific and consistent audio pioneers in recent memory.

Are 'album art debuts' more exciting than 'mp3 debuts'?
Is Panda Bear just 'teasing us' 2 try to make his album seem more buzzworthy?
Will TOMBOY 'save 2k11'?
Will TOMBOY 'save' 2k16?
Is TOMBOY about 'domestic violence] via a crying woman?
Is TOMBOY going to be sadder than Avey Tare's album?
Will Crying women be a new, relevant indie meme?

Will TOMBOY be the 'album of the year' or the 'flop of the year'?

Is the new Strokes album art racist & homophobic?


Julian Casablancas, the 'frontman' of the hit 2k0s Manhattan-based buzzband "The Strokes" recently tweeted out a picture of the Strokes' new album art. Many ppl are 'anxiously awaiting' this album, saying that if the Strokes 'return to their roots', it has the chance to save both 2k11 AND retroactively save 2k10. However, the album cycle got off 2 a bad start now that Julian Casablancas has tweeted a photograph of the new album art.

There are tons of dangerous images contained in this image, so we'll probably be seeing a 'Kanye-style' banned album art alternative cover option.

Artistic analysis of the Strokes album art:

It seems like there is an African American basketball player who is just 'ballin', then a clown, who is like "Ur just a clown. Ur don't have a real job. Ur just genetically gifted 2 be good at an absurd sport. Ur life is meaningless. I make people laugh." Then there is a rainbow that represents "the gays", and how slutwave artists don't really care about gay people, but only see them as an audience that they can exploit. So the NBA player (potentially Kevin Garnett) is like "Ur gay, clown", representing how there aren't any 'openly gay' athletes in the NBA or NFL, and how professional sports + African American hiphop culture can still be kinda homophobic and unwelcoming of the LBGT community. They are both being pulled on a train, which represents how we are all slaves to society, and the goat represents 'the devil' and how he is looking over our society, giving the white clown power to oppress and control minorities, filling innercities with illegal drugs 2 fuel addiction. The waterfall represents the illuminati controlling the corn farming industry.

Do u think this album art is 'racist' and 'anti-gay'?
Have the Strokes 'gone 2 far'?
Will the Strokes still be 'relevant', or will they just turn all bro-ed out, like the Kings of Leon?
Does this album art mean that the album is gonna 'totally blow'?
Should there be more 'black peens' on this album art 2 make it more 'controversial' [via Kanye West]?

Is the new Best Coast + WAVVES album art 'a disgrace'?


Best Coast and WAVVES are 'going out on tour' 2gether, and I think a new indie gimmick is to 'release a limited edition split 7" vinyl that fans can only purchase on the tour. "Summer Is Forever" is the title, but this isn't meant 2 be a standard 'this is a kewl new album' informative blog post. Instead, this is a chance 2 write a 'reaction piece' to the disgraceful album art doodling aesthetic.

Feel kinda 'grossed out' by the design of the album art. I really wanted to 'give them a chance' to 'rebrand' in 2k11, but this is just plain 'disgraceful.' Aliens. Marijuana. Some cat puking/vomiting all over the place.

This is a flat out disgrace.

I expect this kind of album art/behavior from WAVVES, but not from Bethany...

I am legitimately worried about Snacks the Cat. They clearly think it is common 4 cats 2 throw up, and that is definitely a sign of a cat with serious health problems, or a cat who doesn't have proper cat nutrition. I am srsly more worried now than evr abt the health of Snacks. :-(

I think it might be time to 'cut the cord' after this tour if Bethany wants 2 reach her full mindie potential.

MIA and MGMT are named as the ugliest/dumbest album covers of 2k10



Sorta weird how we spend so much time thinking abt how albums sound on the inside, but we don't really think abt how their album art impacts our visual representation of the album. So much pressure to write something 'brilliant' on the inside, but so many album covers 'effing suck.' It seems like Pitchfork named 'the worst album covers of 2k10' and MGMT, M.I.A. and the Kings of Leon were probs the 'most famous' bands on the list.

MIA's youtube loading bar gimmick 'totally failed' this year. No1 really liked her music, her art, her concepts, her memes, or her as a human being. Really bad 2k10 for her.

MGMT's CONGRATULATIONS album art seems to have 'flopped' just as hard as the album. Not sure if this is 'bad album art' or if Pitchfork is just mad because they didn't write songs that were as catchy as KIDS, ELECTRIC EELS, or TIME2PRETEND.

They went ahead and 'panned' Elliott Smith. Seems kinda unchill.

Not sure what is wrong with the Kings of Leon's chillwave album cover.

Here is the most compelling random/zany album cover.

Hope I can perform live from Uranus 1 day.

Really feel bad for THE BUZZBAND because the "I peed my undies EP' was rlly good.

Cut Copy's new album art represents the death of 2k10


Cut Copy seems to have 'announced' new album art for their upcoming hit album ZONOSCAPE. Many indie industry experts see this as 'the first big album of 2k11', a year that is supposed to help us 'recover' from the poopfest that 2k10 was. In a previous post [link], HIPSTER RUNOFF claimed that the new Cut Copy MP3 "Where I'm Going" was the first mp3 of 2k11, even though it was released in July of 2k10.

It seems like based on their album art they are 'fully embracing' the concept of the indie cleansing that must take place in order 2 wipe away the terrible memory of 2k10. We have 2 start over. We have to let the Lord Saviour God Jesus Christ of Indie wipe away our sins [via apocalypse].

2k11 will be a new beginning

NSFW? Kanye West's album 'art' features interracial porn


Kanye West is 'just another rapper' who sings abt 'banging chicks' and 'being the greatest', except every1 likes to pretend that he is a 'great artist' just because he utilizes gimmicks that are 'artsy' and dresses like a blipster. Not sure why ppl 'love' Kanye West so much. S000 boring 2 me. Not just because the rap genre is lame, but maybe I just resent products that lamestreamers utilize as a symbol of their multiculturalism / how they 'love' pop music as art, not just bc it is what is playing on the radio as they drive to their shitty job in their Honda Accord.

Anyways, he has some new 'album art' for some album that every1 is gonna say is 'awesome' because it is sooo shocking and graphic. It seems clear that he knew how it would be received, it would get banned [via The 'U Can't Sell Porn in WalMart' theory]. Now every1 gets to talk abt how 'He's just trying 2 be an artist, mayne. The human body is natural. Painting shit is artsy.'

Not sure how to feel about interracial pornographic album covers. Know this is 'art' or whatever, but I feel like maybe he should play it safe and put a picture of his face on it, maybe wearing some shuttershades or something that lamestreamers will wear so he can sell it as 'merch.'

Anyways, just wanted to post this picture of interracial art sex. Wonder if that is him + Amber Rose, or just some other random white broad. Do u think black ppl should be allowed to be in relationships with white ppl [via segregation]? Do u think Kanye West will lose the demographic of 'racist fans' who h8 black people but are chill with rappers?
