If we're talking about any old show, my parents took me to see an Irish showband called Square Penny sometime in the late 70s at Twillingate Stadium. I had a small B&W promo pic on my wall for a few years, but recall nothing about the music. irishshowbands.net/bgsquarepenn...

#EcksteinsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge Day 20: The first artist you saw in concert If we're talking about a proper show: David Bowie @ Memorial Stadium, St. John's, Newfoundland, June 30, 1990. I don't remember a lot - it was probably overwhelming. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#MusicChallenge #StrictlyInstrumental The Police - "Behind My Camel" youtu.be/XaP2h7ZP5D0?... Comments contain whining about this winning a Grammy over "YYZ," but zero kvetching about it beating Kraftwerk*. Rockist nerds are weird. *"Computer World" isn't instrumental so I'm confused by the nom.

Had to say goodbye to the bestest ginger boy today - Lars Thorwald - at the tender age of 12. Such a sweet kitty. Oh he will be missed.

This is the first that popped into my head...

Paperback cover for Shirley Jackson's "We Have Always Lived in the Castle." A teenaged girl peers through a hole in a dilapidated, grey, wooden fence - of her face, only her eye can be seen. Her right arm is draped over the top of the fence with long black hair falling over her forearm. In her right hand, she holds a sprig with red berries and green leaves. Her left arm is poking perpendicularly through a gap in the fence, the hand gripping a haphazardly horizontal plank. Her hair is wildly windswept and the silhouetted top of her head turns castle-shaped. The background is a blend of shades of blue.

#GraphicallyYours Day 28: David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (1973) One of those iconic album covers which has taken on a life of its own and shows up in graffiti, memes and t-shirts. Makeup by Pierre Laroche. Design by Brian Duffy & Celia Philo; photo by Duffy.

Cover art from David Bowie's 1973 LP "Aladdin Sane."

"The cover artwork features a shirtless Bowie with red hair and a red-and-blue lightning bolt splitting his face in two while a teardrop runs down his collarbone." - Wikipedia

His eyes are closed. His skin is airbrushed shades of purple, pink and white.

#GraphicallyYours Day 27: The Gil Evans Orchestra - Out of the Cool (1960) My most recent purchase because I dig the cover... Design: Robert Flynn. Photography: Arnold Newman. (It helps that the 2021 reissue from Acoustic Sounds is one of the best sounding records I own. Just wow.)

Cover art for The Gil Evans Orchestra's Out of the Cool LP. The mostly black cover appears to be ripped or peeled open in the center, revealing Gil Evans sitting on a chair while looking through sheets of music. He looks at the camera as if startled to find us watching him. He appears to be sitting in a red room, and the edges of the aperture are glowing bright red. The album title is printed on the upper right in a pinkish/purplish color, followed by the band name in orange - separated by a small blue square.

#GraphicallyYours Day 24: Patti Smith - Horses (1975) An androgynous Patti-a-la-Baudelaire captured by Robert Mapplethorpe in NYC. Classic.

Album cover for Patti Smith's 1975 LP Horses.

The cover photograph for Horses was taken by Robert Mapplethorpe at the Greenwich Village penthouse apartment of his partner Sam Wagstaff. Smith, shrouded in natural light, is seen wearing a plain white shirt, which she had purchased at a Salvation Army shop on the Bowery, and slinging a black jacket over her shoulder and her favorite black ribbon around her collar. Embedded on the jacket is a horse pin that Allen Lanier had given her. Smith described her appearance as recalling those of French poet Charles Baudelaire and, in the slinging of the jacket, American singer and actor Frank Sinatra. She recounted that Mapplethorpe "took, like, twelve pictures, and at about the eighth one, he said, 'I have it.' I said, 'How do you know?' and he said, 'I just know,' and I said, 'Okay.' And that was it." - Wikipedia

#GraphicallyYours Day 22: Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart (1980) I love that Peter Saville often created different artwork for 7" and 12" versions of singles. (The 12" is the black sleeve.)

Cover art for the 12" version of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." It shows a "photograph of a grieving angel on the Ribaudo family tomb in Genoa's Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno (sculpted by Onorato Toso c. 1910)... The photograph was taken by Bernard Pierre Wolff in 1978." (Wikipedia)

Cover art for the 7" version of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." "According to Curtis's wife Deborah, to create the single cover photo, which was made by Trevor Key, the song title was etched upon a sheet of metal; this was aged with acid and exposed to the weather to create the appearance of a stone slab." - Wikipedia

#GraphicallyYours Day 21: The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour (1982) A day late, so let's look into the past at the #FallFriday that could have been. Many minutes have been spent scouring the amusing scribbles on this sleeve. The Fall was never afraid to make an intentionally ugly/amateurish cover.

Cover art from The Fall's Hex Enduction Hour LP from 1982.

"Hex Enduction Hour's all-white cover is lined with pen marks and scribbles and was described by music critic Robertson as 'meticulously shoddy'. It consists of a series of pen scribbles laid down by (Mark E.) Smith. The markings are mostly random rhetorical phrases and sentence fragments added by Smith and include wording such as 'Lie-Dream 80% of 10% OR 6% over no less than 1/4 = ??????', 'Hail Sainsbury's!', 'CHUMMY LIFESTYLE', 'HAVE A BLEEDIN GUESS' and 'CIGS. SMOKED HERE'. In an interview with Sounds that summer, Smith mentioned that he liked artwork to reflect the album content and that his graphic choices reflected his attitude to music. He mentioned how he was drawn to cheap and misspelled posters, amateur layouts of local papers and printed cash and carry signs with 'inverted commas where you don't need them'... HMV would only shelve the sleeve back to front on their racking shelves." - Wikipedia
