Just got back from Boston with the Fam. While there we checked out the kinda cool ICA museum, where they had an exhibit The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl<\/em>.

I don’t know why\u2014it smacks of “look at me-ism,” to me. But that cover was very cool. I don’t think even Beefheart<\/strong> did much of his own cover art. Maybe David Thomas<\/strong>?
