RainDogToo Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Wow! I could never really understand what was happening in that photo... thanks for posting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I had no idea that photo dated back that far (late 1950's? early 1960's?) Great find VC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Speed Racer Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This hasn't been released to the public yet, but the thirteenth photo is the cover shot for Weezer's 8th album, "BULLZEYE!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you could bet on predictions for Pitchfork review scores, BULLZEYE's over/under would be set at 0.9. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rwilson580 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I never knew what the hell it was. Just felt it was the lamest drawing ever. I had no idea it was even a photograph. It gives me a whole new appreciation for that cover. Thank you for removing one of my rare reservations about Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

entropy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I still don't understand. Does this actually show more of what's going on? Forgive my ignorance, but I still don't get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 As a photo it is sheer art. As an album cover it always struck me as odd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I really like seeing it in context with his other photos from the same time/place. Neat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 When Summerteeth first came out I thought the cover image was a loosely based homage to George Méliès "A Trip to the Moon." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
