Big K.R.I.T. Gets the Most Awesome Album Cover
Mississippi's Big K.R.I.T. is fast becoming one of my very favorite young rappers. And the cover of his new album, "ReturnOf4Eva" (go on, download that!), painted by San Francisco artist Eric Bailey, is fast becoming one of my very favorite things to look at.
Storm Thorgerson Talks Pink Floyd, Flying Pigs
Storm Thorgerson, the artist whose firm Hipgnosis designed many famous rock album covers and t-shirts I wore pretty much every day in 7th grade, has a show at London's Idea Generation Gallery this month.

New Ghostface Killah Album Cover Is Totally Killah
Pitchfork put up the cover image for Ghostface Killah's forthcoming The Wizard of Poetry album and it is awesome. After hearing the album's first single, "Baby," a nice hip-hip love song marred by the autotune menace, one can only hope the rest of the music is anywhere near as dope as that picture of The Yellow Brick Road leading through a field of flowers and fly honies to the gates of Emerald City.
