I held that birthday cake for the fanshoot @ Pabst Theater. Pretty neat that it made the cover. :D

That is pretty neat!

 

 

Here's some other info on the photoshoot buried inside that other really really long thread.

I will say that the cake was EXTREMELY HEAVY. Autumn's staff had to give me a "cake break" every 10 minutes or so when I wasn't being shot, just so I could get the feeling back in my arms. I wonder if it was even real, or just an anvil covered in orange frosting.

You know, I just love that they're dishing out the self-depricating humor on this one. I'll take goofy light-hearted art any day over "god I'm so happy" light-hearted art (naturally, says the parodist).

 

I really hope the pre-order comes with a Wilco party hat, camel-hump S&P shakers or some equally irreverent delicacy.

It's arty. It's silly. What's not to love about it?

 

i don't know, I guess it will have to sink in. I like the idea about it being one of the bad 70s album covers. I understand it's intentionally bad, but im sure more then a few people wont get the joke.

 

Im just glad it doesn't say Wilco (The Album) on it.

I like the Font..

Or some equally disturbing self-important "serious" thing full of metaphors or neurotic/delusional angst.

 

I like it fine, and it fits in to the catalog...where we've seen cats, radios, buildings, birds...and nothing too heady or heavy. :thumbup

I don't think it's bad in any manner, intentionally or not.

 

They are obviously having more fun with any of the other albums as one, Wilco (The Song) and two, Wilco (The Album). Taking themselves seriously isn't in the books on this one.

 

I wanna see the rest of the art but AGIB is my favorite, especially the vinyl with the nest.
