The story behind the fisheye album cover has been added as a related post - related requested by noims on that post.

Does anyone know if there's a list of the artists that contributed to these? The sequence at 2:22 reminds me of Bill Plympton and the one at 3:02 is definitely the same guy who did Todd Terje's cover art (http://static.spin.com/files/140127-todd-terje-album-cover.jpg)

Everytime I see your avatar I keep thinking it's this album cover

The first Pink Floyd album I bought.

I was watching WKRP in Cincinnati way back in the day, and there was a scene where the bosses walked into the studio and Johnny Fever was listening to "Dogs". It blew me away. I didn't catch the name of the artist or the song, but they showed the album cover. I went down to PayLess the next day and started in the "A"s, looking at every record until I found the one I had seen on the show. Paid $7.99 for it, took it home, and listened to it for the next 30-some years.

I love all that is Pink Floyd, especially Roger Waters era, as well as his solo stuff.

Not really....If ya wanna critique, these folks are way too white...seeing them perform does little justice to their efforts filmed or otherwise embodied in recorded tracks on YT with a wannabe clever album cover...To Me, they strain at sucking and are incurably Caucasian....That coming form a white boy, that makes and loves music....these dweebs' sound make my skin crawl for an escape hatch away from hipsters...:)

And since you love em so much, i guess i need to copy this review to one of their sifted viddies (probably pimped by you or another incurable white person with no ear for talent) straining for attention....Yeah. Pretty much recoil from their sound and vibe altogether, they embarrass their creed and associative alliance with blood kin, wish they'd stop trying !

"You'll never fit that on the album cover!"

What happens when your life doesn't look like album covers?

No "The Pen is Mightier" or "An Album Cover"?

Still, her comment was priceless.

I can appreciate wanting to sift songs and pieces of music, I consider doing so myself every once in a while but I just always come back to "Well, it's not technically a movie", I don't, however, begrudge you for doing so. Just want to make that clear

Anyway, same to you, siftgod be with you and all that.

I understand. It is such that there is come music I wish to have represented on the Sift to which there is either no video or, if there is, is renditionally inferior. I hope you at least enjoyed the song.

Frankly, there are a number of the vids that I have submitted for which I expected few if any votes but were voted for out of the kindness and generosity of fellow Sifters. I hope at least some if not all that voted for them found enjoyment and or interest in them. That has been, is, and will be my primary motivation for my submissions on the Sift.

I have appreciated your support as well as your submissions and time in your queues. I look forward to seeing you around the Sift. Happy Sifting and good luck in all you do.

Namaste.

I can't in good concience upvote this, It's just the song with the album cover slapped on

That's a silly conspiracy. Like the Bible Code or Nostradamus' quatrains or Glenn Beck's sanity. GET A GRIP, MAN! They're watching us. I have the tin foil for our hats.

Oh yes, it's VERY clear, that's what they were trying to do

>> ^thinker247:

If you arrange the letters of both NUJV and HELP into alphabetical order you have JNUV and EHLP. If you convert them to their ordinal rank, you have 10,14,21,22 and 5,8,12,16. If you subtract the numbers of the second set from the numbers of the first set you have 5,6,9,6. Transform that back into letters and you spell EFIF. Spelled backward, that is fife, which is the Old English word for five. It's plain to see that the Beatles were mentioning their manager (and so-called fifth Beatle), Brian Epstein.

An album cover.

It's cool they show it failing quite a bit, but I'd be very interested in seeing it on an actual episode.
