napoleon Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 "The sun's not yellow/it's chicken" is a Dylan lyric. oh i see now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 It reminds me of the 10,000 or so crows that roost near BCIT in Vancouver (Douglas Coupland wrote about them in jPod). In the winter months, when I get off work, the sky is literally black with crows. Very spooky and trippy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HighFives Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 The hi-res version from the PR site already looks nice on my desktop. I tried making it my myspace background with pimp my profile but my vital text info was hard to read and I couldn't change the font colour because I didn't want to disrupt the black and white feel.

yermom Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I've been observing the massive flocks of birds flying over my house for the past couple of weeks and feeling sort of funny about it. I've been admiring the sight of them and enjoying their passing, flapping, flock sound. Also, just the other day, a friend and I were talking about tattoos and she said she'd like to have a flock of birds in silhouette across her back.Am I experiencing some sort of psychic phenomenon?I think I've been remote viewing this album art for weeks now. Duuuuude, freaky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncle wilco Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, 2005 thats...so...two years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skip Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Minimalistic - in typical Wilco cover art fashion. The imagery is interesting...wonder if "image of a swirling flock of starlings evading a peregrine falcon" is somehow related to reported theme that Sky Blue Sky is a record of hope? From the link National Geographic link ... Overall Winner: "Sky Chase"Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, 2005Natural History Museum, London, and BBC Wildlife Magazine This image of a swirling flock of starlings evading a peregrine falcon in Rome, Italy, was voted best overall photo in the 2005 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition. Announced in London on October 20, the winning images Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 they must know their odds of getting another "best packaging" grammy are slim, if they're going to have already award-won album art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Competition judges praised "Sky Chase" for its energy and movement as well as its starkness and graphic simplicity. Seems appropriate. I wonder what (who?) the falcon represents. Favorite album art is still Being There, this comes in second.I love the bubblegum pun (intentional or not) of the Summerteeth cover art. And the fact that it manages to look innocent, yet creepy at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fletcher Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 at first i think "oh lame, it's the 'single, lonely' cliche," but then my eyes follow the patterns and the motion blurs and i'm woozy all over again (but that may be just because it's a new wilco record) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hodie Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Ha! I was about to say it looks like a flock of starlings! Knowing that it's a falcon chasing them all makes it a little scary, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zebra Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 promo materials This is where I saw it too, but I don't think the band wanted everyone to know about this page or else they would have made it public. And I didn't post it eariler because I didn't have it uploaded to a site AND I was running late for classes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
