And the award goes to…

My mind is cluttered already. That doesn’t mean the year will be bad, it’s just annoying. Every day is a new chance to start over and my mind said “Not today.” That’s O.K.
I got Digital Ash In A Digital Urn today. I’m listening to it now and I have to say it’s not what I expected. It seems like every day I learn and re-learn not to judge a book by a cover. Especially if you’re judging one book by another’s cover. All that’s to say I like it.
Bright Eyes’ art director, Zack Nipper, has been nominated for a Grammy for the Cassadaga album art. If you haven’t seen it, it really is worth seeing. I’m sure someone you know owns it. Right? RIGHT?! It’s definitely one of the best concepts I’ve ever seen in album art. It looked like a lot of fuzz, but inside, there is a “spectral decoder” that sort of reminds me of a Ouija board thing. The grey mess turns into awesome pictures and text. I think it deserves to win. There were a lot of people who were all ga-ga over TOOL’s album art (not nominated, by the way), which I thought was lame. It was just 3-D and it didn’t go with the album at all. It seemed just to be a marketing scheme and people ate that shit up. Also, the whole “there are secrets in my album art” crap gets old. Secrets? Why?
Zack says,
“I just feel really lucky to work for the label,”
Word.
