Joyrex Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I actually like the font on the Dodge manual better! I always suspected that the TCH EP cover came from somewhere else... but I thought it was a Canadian Highway Guide - who would have thought it was for an American car!

pen1562001 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 I'm too lazy to look further in the forums, but there's that one picture in the Headphase inlay, with the kid on the 80s computer...they took it from some old yearbook.

Guest Doc at the Radar Station Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 How in the hell do people discover the original images in the first place? Unless they have a 1970's Dodge truck in the garage. It would be interesting to know if whoever discovered this was actively looking for the original image or if they just stumbled upon it, and how. I am also very intrigued as to where the front cover image from The Campfire Headphase originates.

Joyrex Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 The same way most people discover things... dumb luck, and having seen something before. For instance, I heard the Energy Warning sample as a PSA (public service announcement) on a website when I was looking for 1970's PBS video and audio clips about a year before Geogaddi came out. Then, when Geogaddi did come out, I remembered I had heard something similar, dug up the old URL (which for the life of me escapes me at the moment), and made the connection - it's totally possible that BoC got the sample from the same website, as it's about the same quality (it was a low-quality .au sound file), and they did little to it - clipped some of the dialogue and put in that helicopter-like warble and synth line in the background. I've attached an MP3 I made of the .au file. The Campfire Headphase cover is most likely a family photo, similar to the one Mike and Marcus used for Music Has The Right To Children's cover. Then again, it could be another 'found image' like the yearbook photo that Mike and Marcus repurposed for the album cover, or a contemporary image they took and modified it in Photoshop. psa4h.mp3Fetching info...

Bob Dylan Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 exactly I totally remembered the "I LUV U" little sketch from Sesame Street. I really love the fact that it's a frigin truck manual. I mean it's great, I can really see them living in rural Canada and finding that book inside a good ol' dudge pickup. Old pickups are _sooooo_ electronic music Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Bob Dylan's signature Hide all signatures *** This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation *** helping America into the New World...
