But then I read the link and I actually agree album art is not the marketing power it used to be. Plus its so small on a cd. and then you put the CD on the computer and put the cd is a cd case and put the case and album art into a pile of the hundreds of other cds you have thinking you might do something with them and then never do. Its just to small you cant put it on your wall you cant really do anything with it its kind of annoying. Point being their are much more inportant things for graphic designers to do than CD cover. I have seen much better tour posters than most album art i have seen recently. anyways. ok. -Drew I wanted to say that David Byrne has recently become rediculous, like when he played a beyonce cover when he opened for arcade fire at the hollywood bowl.

I don't necessarily disagree with anything Byrne says, except maybe "No one stares enraptured at a Downy bottle while doing the laundry or at a Progresso can while opening a can of soup" -- 'cause I stare enraptured at labels all the time! Additionally, this whole thing about connecting music to the art is not what I am talking about. I just think it's important to get the visual art into one's life as often as possible. To make things look intriguing. I buy CDs based on album art all the time because I appreciate the effort that goes into it as art, not as representing the music in any way at all. Anyways, did you have this bookmarked or something? It's a pretty old journal entry of his! tsk tsk.

I don't want to be a dream killer--no matter how vapid the dreams may be! on a side, more important note: ALBUM ART is SOOOOOO important. seriously. a reason why i dislike how we place our reviews on top of the art at the station. tsk tsk. noooo.
