james blount rip

The Kanye album was a 7/10 for me and probably my least favourite of his but yeah I enjoyed the way it became such a talking point, particularly when it seemed to draw in people who'd previously been uninterested in his music. It's as much of a part of pop as the music itself.

Just listened to it for the first time. Loved it. And this thread actually convinced me to buy the album, which I haven't done in yonks. My Girls is my jam. The cd cover doesn't move though. ;_;

OK waht! Does the vinyl sleeve move? This is important information for my buying decision!

well, the cover doesn't move, it's an optical illusion (I haven't read the previous posts so I don't if that's what you're talking about, though...).

ok, sorry, it doesn't appear to be moving when i look at the optical illusion.

it does on screen but not the physical object. as far as i can tell.

eurgh this thing is making me sick. I hadnt noticed this before. So what - the trick works in the digi-world but not on the physical copies??

Does the image appear to move if you take the inlay out of the case? (I mean, apart from moving, errr, out of the case...)

― britisher ringpulls (a passing spacecadet), Monday, January 12, 2009 11:30 AM (4 hours ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

apparently, it doesn't move or not as much on the physical object as on screen.
weird.

― AleXTC, Monday, January 12, 2009 11:32 AM (4 hours ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

it's not a traditional cd case, it's just a card thing with a little folding thing inside with the cd and inlay and stuff inside. presumably done so to give the full effect of the illusion but it just doesn't work. still looks cool though.

I'm going to use this .jpg as my desktop wallpaper and see how long I can stand it.

i've looked at the vinyl cover and it does move but not as much as that .jpg above.

I guess it has something to do with the backlight of a screen compared to printed paper...

maybe the SIZE too

well the size of the picture above is roughly the same as a CD, right ?

oh great, I've just discovered that when you scroll the screen up and down while left clicking on the scrolling block thingy on the right of the screen frame (dunno what it's called) instead of scrolling with the thing on the mouse, the little "beans' in the picture move in circle !
(not sure my whole description is crystal clear...)

this was actually enlightening as I ended up doing this for about fifteen minutes which made my day about 12% better, but then I'm having a bad day.

that guy

shoulda called hisself ilmor really

He used to troll the comments boxes on Stylus, if our stalky research is correct he's also a member of the Young Republicans, or whatever the right's youth wing is called over there.

?? I'm pretty sure he's not, he lives in Austin and I think when I met him he was wearing an Obama shirt iirc

I'm kinda :/ that dude gets so much neg attn around here honestly just cause IRL he's a nice unassuming dude (based on our minimal interactions before and after an ambient music show) but whaddya gonna do

you've met "ilxor"??
