:lol It reminds me of Spaceballs when Yogurt is talking about all the merchandising for the movie. We'll need Wilco (the koozie) and Wilco (the lunchbox) and Wilco (the beach towel).

Wilco (the flamethrower)

I like the cover, but I'm afraid Nonesuch may have to change it. It's a little too sexy. I mean a camel in a a hat with a cake sitting on a small table? And you should have seen what they wanted to put on the table. It certainly wasn't a cake, I can tell you that.

 

Nonesuch will be forced to release Wilco (the album) with a completely black cover.

Ian: They're not gonna release the album... because they have decided that the cover is sexist.

Nigel: What's wrong with being sexy?

Ian: Sex-IST.

I sure hope not. it'd be a shame if they covered Tzvi up.

Apparently, Rolling Stone also thinks the cover photo was taken on a roof. :lol

 

Wilco revealed the album cover for their new LP Wilco (The Album) on their official Website: Yes, it’s a photo of a camel attending a rooftop birthday party. Rock Daily recently talked to the band’s Glenn Kotche about the band’s June 30th LP.

i still don't get that, or should i say, see it that way. i really doesn't look like a rooftop or a balcony at all.

 

I never saw it that way, either. I even keep staring at it to see if I can make myself see it in that way… I just don't get it. :hmm

I thought it was a deck at first. The roofline of the german restaurant looked like it was the top facade of a two or three story building to me, and the railing contributed to the illusion. Now that I've seen the non-camel version of the photo I see the image for what it is.

Me too, but let's be realistic. That can't be topped.

I really don't want to, but...oh...alright. I'll be realistic...wait a sec!

Maybe Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem can open for Wilco this summer!

How would we tell Glenn and Animal apart, though?

Initially I thought it was a rooftop patio shot too. C'mon, a camel with a party hat screams rooftop bar, but of course that car sorta killed that whole first impression.

 

Maybe they could photoshop the middle-ground, I want my rooftop patio back.

It's as if I had stumbled on another world. I see a weird, kinda ridiculous album cover and everybody around's saying "awesome! awesome!".

 

I'm not dreaming. This is real.

 

 

 

I think this album cover means Jeff is struggling to stop smoking.
