May 16, 2012 at 2:00 pm by cddvdpa
Continuing on with our Worst ever album art series, lets take a look at some of the atrocities 2011 brought to us.
Five.
The Strokes – Angles
The cover certainly has some angles included in the design. However, maybe the garish clash of these disgustingly, vomitworthy colours could be removed. While you’re there, maybe a brush up on some M.C. Escher would be good if you want to go down the optical illusions route. Thumbs down to you, The Strokes.
Four.
Lady Gag – Born This Way
No no no no no no no no no! Lady Gaga – You no make good bike. I could ride a segway better than you, dear!
P.S The front wheel reminds me of a buzzsaw…
Three.
Yuck -Yuck
Your music is awesome, your art – appalling. Not quite sure what you were trying to do with this one…
Two.
Arctic Monkeys – Suck it and see
I don’t think they really put much effort into this one, really.
One.
Passengers of Shit – 8
This is actually just disgusting. I’m going to link you to the actual cover of this one as frankly, its utterly disgusting. In the mean time, heres a censored version!
Top 5 bad CD covers
May 11, 2012 at 2:26 pm by cddvdpa
CD covers are pretty important, really. Its often the first thing a punter sees about the band or artist and what you see in your mind when you think about an album you’ve brought. Well, sometimes. It is a bands image, and image is important, particularly in the music business.
Despite the utter importance placed on CD cover design, sometimes, the imagery used is just made of pure, gritty, 100% fail with a cherry on top. Heres just some of the best, worse album covers you could find.
In first place we have The Faith Tones – Jesus Use Me
Words fail me.
Coming in a close second, we have Saveta Jovanovic with Lazone Je, Lazono, Sve Sto Je Tvouje.
Natural women – we have your heroine right here! Or she a distance cousin of Susan Boyle?
Third: Riot – Narita
Some sort of Telly-Tubby-Ferret Frankenstein? Whatever this was supposed to be, its er… well yes. Although I think whatever it is, is about to be decapitated by a rather low flying plane. And is ging going to end up with a skull stuck its ass. Riot, stay off the acid, yeah?
Fourth award goes to: William Hung – Hung for the holidays
Lets not even comment on the title, here. He is a MS Paint pro though. Well done, William Hung, well done.
Number Five: Millie Jackson – Back to the Sh*t
What a charmer.

There is a new artist on the musical scene: Kayla Brianna. The teenage artist is the daughter of NBA legend Kenny Smith. The latest entrant into the world of R’n'B is the newest signing in the house of Inter scope Records. Her debut video – If you love me – was released during the half time period of the game between the LA Laker’s and the Miami Heat. The artist packs a heavy punch, she sails in the wings of Keri Hilson, Chris Rock, Ice Cube, Kobe Bryant fans among others who have supported her career.
Kayla Brianna draws her inspiration from some of musical greats including artists such as Aliyah, Mary J Blige and Destiny’s child. The budding star claims to have got her moment of musical inspiration when watching the shows that were staged by these artists. At the moment, Brianna’s music is aimed at teenage girls. Despite still attending school, her dedication shines through – she is often still in the recording studio at 2am!
Kayla plans to release an album this summer, as well as a single album which is due out too. She claims that she would like to work with Frank Ocean on account of him being a great lyricist. Kayla Brianna is definitely a star that is worth watching out for – she has a great name (she is after all the daughter of NBA legend Kenny Smith), she comes with the backing of big name music industry players, and yes she is fresh in a way that only a teenager with her innocence can blow over the music scene. One thing that is certain about Kayla Brianna – she is a star who is set to rock the music world.
