2. Beck wrote an article for Vanity Fair on the 50 best album covers

And "The Flasher" was one of them.

4. Yeah, isn't "The Flasher" something?

I should probably listen to that one - well, all of 'em really. When I lived alone I had planned to wear that funkiness with pride by getting 12" sheets of plexiglas cut and mounting a few dozen of my "just for the covers" albums on this one whopping great empty wall I had, but now that I share a tiny place (fucking Bush economy...), there's just no room to do that. Someday, though...

8. Heh... Do You Know My Jesus?

No, but if you hum a few bars....

Why, no I don't. Do you know my Satan?

I think so. He's that freaky guy bumming change underneath the overpass, right?

Actually, that Orthophonic(TM) recording looks interesting. Is that another fake stereo like Duophonic was?

11. I did that once and got a pretty good album . . .

it was the first (perhaps only?) album by a 60s group called Sweetwater . . . I really liked their costumes and figured the music would at least be interesting . . . turns out it was . . .

btw, you should really listen to that Preservation Hall Jazz Band album . . . I think you'll be pleasantly surprised . . . :)

12. Yeah, you're probably right about that album.

Now that I took them out to photograph them, I'll probably have a listening party.
