Fuck, all my pictures disappeared. I could have done something else with my morning after all.

Cyclotron, you picked three of my next choices you cad!

Re: Wilco - saw them live once but don't know much else about them. Might just photocopy the cover for now and see how I get on



Edit: here's another fabulous cover from the world of pop music:

[Lili Marlene]

I dunno- there are some nice looking covers here on records i don't like
