DDN book cover color - Page 2

I've not read any of the others in the series,but i think i read somewhere that they will be doing a book on Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime lp which will be another one to look forward to. I'd go with red too.

I vote for November.

I most definitely prefer your second version, the gold, the best.

One thing about the brick red though is that red definitely does stand out on shelves well. It also matches the DDN theme and I suppose that's why you came up with that design first. Since the book will most likely be turned on its side for display, there is an option between the two (the brick red and the gold) that I came up with for you to consider. It may be more expensive to print the cover this way though, I suppose.

I'm not sure if I like this hybrid more than the second version (gold), but, this way the binding is still red and will stand out accordingly.

"If you November people want to get mad at anyone, get mad at Sonic Youth (except you can't get mad at Steve, as he was on your side from the beginning): they voted overwhelmingly (well, 3:1) in favor of the brick"

75% of the band can't be wrong! and seriously, we all love steve, but
he's the DRUMMER. you can't win, beat patrol.

can't wait for the book.
oh yeah, red.

I liked the November one better... they should've listened to Steve, dammit.

jennthebenn · 02.09.2007, 03:15 PM

no...drummers cannot win. if steve had gotten his way with this book
cover, then what? they'll do a sister reissue where his drums are actually
mixed properly? the overall ramifications of stickmen triumphing within
bands are too terrifying to comprehend.

pokkeherrie · 02.09.2007, 03:28 PM

someone should've told that to tommy lee.

i'd definitely buy that sister reissue though, preferably released on smells like records of course.
