It's been too darn long since I've blogged anything. I was going to blog the story of Nike's appropriation of classic Minor Threat cover art when Pitchfork ran the story on Friday. Carrie at Stay Free! points to a thread where users have photoshopped other album covers into ads. The quality is uneven, but some of my favorites rehash Nick Drake, Gang of Four, Funkadelic, Wire, Emerson Lake and Palmer (I'm embarrassed to identify that cover), and Slint.

With the obvious exception of ELP's Tarkus, these are all records I'm quite fond of. I picked these because I thought the were the best executed and the funniest, but I wonder if my taste in music influenced my picks, or people who share my taste in music tend to have photoshop skills.
