Your turn, GM  ...

[Reply #135 on:]

Well, as I'm photoshop-less and having a major hard time finding any album covers that have no text on, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass my go. Sorry guys.

So I guess its anyones turn. Whoever makes it to this thread first gets to post next.

On you marks...get set...post! 

[Reply #136 on:]

I pass, i'm too knackered.

Also, i'll be away for the next few days and would therefore be useless in the capacity of chairman.

Let's have one of those whingers step up, like Love_For_Leela, and see how eclectic their tastes really are 

[Reply #137 on:]

I'd like to see Love_For_Leela get a chance, or I'll go, if anyone wants to host my pics.

[Reply #138 on:]

I'll host 'em Eggs, for now or another time. Whack them off to me. Address is below.

[Reply #139 on:]

OK, cool.  Thanks for hosting, SXD.  Should I go, everybody, or do we want to give LFL a chance?

[Reply #140 on:]

You go. I want the kudos

[Reply #152 on:]

Can we have some clues please, CE?

[Reply #153 on:]

Jeez, 9 hints?  Are these too hard?  I tried to pick some easy ones my first time out.

2 is a discography CD from a seminal early hardcore band from New Jersey.  I've mentioned them by name in the music reviews thread, and the cover contains an obvious visual clue.

3 might be tough, it's a gutbucket Mississippi blues album by a very dirty blues singer, and it came out last year I think.

5 is the debut full-length album by a punk(ish) band from LA with an Irish singer.  Who used to be in Fastway.

6 is by a rock band from Finland, but it's not as obscure as that makes them sound.  One of their songs has been used in a Toyota Camry commercial in the US (the one where it's driving backwards).  These guys have also been mentioned by me in the music reviews thread.

7 is an album I haven't listened to, but it's my buddy's favourite album cover.  They're sort of goth, I think, this guy listens to Joy Division and Morrisey. 

8 is the only one I thought would be really tough.  It's by one of John Zorn's really experimental bands.

9 - come on, people, this is one of the classic Jazz/Funk albums.  It's by an artist who has a piece on the radio in Vice City.

10.  Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch.

12 is not a Pogues album, but that is Shane MacGowan on the right.

[Reply #154 on:]

5 isn't Flogging Molly by any chance?

[Reply #155 on:]

I think it is ZJ
In fact it is
5)Flogging Molly: Swagger (I thouhgt I regognised it.)

[Reply #156 on:]

Um, I'm putting this together from your posts in the music review thread, but is it Orchid - Chaos is Me?

[Reply #157 on:]

5 is Flogging Molly - Swagger.  One point each.  2 is not an Orchid album.  They're not early hardcore, and they're not from New Jersey.

[Reply #158 on:]

It's just that little white logo looks like the logo on the Orchid albums...eh, didn't hurt to guess...

[Reply #159 on:]

It's a good guess.  Read that review carefully, and think about that little white logo... does it kind of look like a bat?  The devil?  Happy bunnies playing in a field?  Mothers eating their children?
