the lost blog
I am a Graphic Designer, ICT Tutor and learner bassist in the Lake District. I will be using this space to cram in loads of random chaff, and bouncing around snippets of other peoples music and digital work.
For that essential lunchtime snack…

WoopWoop! Cover Art of the Day: Talking Heads “Remain in Light” 1980
The album cover and liner notes were created by the notable graphic designer, Tibor Kalman. Kalman based the cover artwork on the life story of Tina Weymouth, with a fleet of planes on the back cover connected with her childhood as the daughter of a traveling U.S. Navy admiral with an aviation background, and digitally distorted faces of the band members representing her at-the-time current status as a member of the band and the electro-centric direction the band had taken.
The final track on the album, “The Overload”, was Talking Heads’ attempt to emulate the sound of the band Joy Division. This effort was made in spite of the fact that no one in the band had actually heard the music of Joy Division. Rather, it was based on an idea of what Joy Division might sound like.
Also, the greatest album ever, crotchety Marxists be damned.
“This is the first and definitive overview of the artwork of the seminal Manchester-based Factory label, covering its iconic record sleeves, posters, ephemera, venues and packaging.” (via thepublics)
