Listening to Electric Ladyland on the train today and ended up going to wikipedia to check out some details on the album. While reading I came across this interesting fact about vinyl production

[As was common with some multi-LP albums, sides one and four were pressed back to back on the same platter, likewise sides two and three. This was called auto-coupling and was intended to allow discs to be stacked on an automatic record-changer. In this case it has led to some CD releases to have the tracks in the incorrect one-four-two-three order.(e.g. “Voodoo Chile” followed by “Still Raining, Still Dreaming”)]

I was also reminded why I wanted a copy of the original album cover

In the picture of the Statue of Liberty there are 18,000 men: 12,000 of them in the torch alone, but just 17 at the base. The men at the top of the picture are actually half a mile away from the men at the bottom

Took me a while to realize that the shadows are from the bent sides of the paper. too cool

Snow White’s seen better days

sade:

These works by Vancouver photographer Dina Goldstein place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The ‘…happily ever after’ is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.

“I began to imagine Disney’s perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues.”

“Fireworks and Spilled Soup” by Delaney Glyman

Beautiful artwork created by removing the dirt in our dirty world

“San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel is a highly traveled thoroughfare in the heart of the city. Over 20,000 cars, trucks, and motorized vehicles pass through it per day. Its walls are caked with dirt and soot, and lined with patches of paint covered graffiti from days gone by. It set the perfect canvas to create a beautiful work of art showcasing the talents of reverse graffiti artist “Moose”, and the power of Green Works plant based cleaner.”
