Crackers3 years agoThis album cover was our managers idea, he sent it to print before we even got to see it, oh well, BRANDED. Thanks for the kind words guys, you can contact Crackers at regdenis✧✧✧@hotm✧✧✧.c✧✧ We'd love to hear from you! Those were Glory Daze for sure eh!

Are those 57s? I usually prefer to mic butts with a high quality large diaphragm condenser or a spaced pair of small diaphragm condensers in an X/Y pattern

why is he pointing at his name in that last one, is that part of the joke somehow?
― soref, Friday, 11 August 2017 00:23 (six years ago) link
According to wiki his one hit was about a dead dog, so maybe he's pointing to heaven?
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 11 August 2017 01:10 (six years ago) link

He really missed a chance by not naming one of his albums "That's Gross", didn't he?

yeah it is so much more than a dead dog song. not something that points to a great multi-album career though. i used to own the s/t and it was utterly utterly forgettable except for the groovy lettering on the cover

Don't *think* we've had this one before, the only results I can find on the thread for "Buzzard" are dear old Tucky Buzzard.
Anyway:

Anyway, this is "You Always Know Where You Stand With a Buzzard" by Clive John, which I saw in the wild today.

OK, I admit did post that earlier in this thread but actually seeing it in the flesh sort of trumps that.
― Wewlay Bewlay (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 00:03 (six years ago) link
such a weird title/cover match. like was it changed last-minute from "you always know where you stand with a pumpkin"? how the hell did they arrive at either of these?
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 00:31 (six years ago) link
not sure but I don't know if I've seen an underground/millennial band do one of these covers/titles ironically until now

The cover features the still-hairy prototypical hippy freak Clint generously holding out a giant fake-looking orange. The title of the album came from what Clint said to a visitor who fled after being attacked by buzzards whose nest site he’d unwittingly approached, the point being that you’re supposed to stand your ground and the buzzards will hold back.
