Michael Kiwanuka, “Tell Me A Tale” Home Again (2012, Polydor)
I’m probably super-late to the game on this guy, but holy shit. This is flooring me today.

One of the Sea Lions shirt designs for Chaos in Tejas
This is awesome.
Still pretty much one of the best covers ever. I think I post this about once a year, though I should admit I listen to it much more than that. Today’s one of those days.
Aside: Remember how Sassy got all up in arms about the cover image?

CELEBRITIES PORTRAITS FOUND IN CUPBOARD, 1970S
“These portraits were discovered by Dan Oppenheimer, a stained-glass designer in Memphis. They are the work of the late Jack Robinson, who shot celebrity portraits for Vogue in the 1960s. Later in his life, Robinson took up a career in a stained-glass, where he worked for Oppenheimer. When Robinson died in 1997, Oppenheimer handled his effects. In that closet in Memphis, he found approximately 150,000 prints from Robinson’s 17-year photography career.”
Really beautiful work here. The above image is Tina Turner.
