You may not know that my two all-time favorite bands are The Who and Pink Floyd. Choosing which I love more would be a heartbreaking Sophie’s Choice of rock anthem proportions. I could wax on and on about how fan-freaking-tastic they are, but there aren’t enough adjectives synonymous with “awesome.” What I can talk about is graphic design, and aside from both bands being in desperate need of major website re-designs, each of them has a history of really cool album covers. (Note for those born after 1980: An album falls somewhere between this and this.)
Apparently I live in a cave circa 1993, so I just discovered these really cool kicks by Converse. Which one’s your fave?

oooh, I love the Animals one best.
What, no Ummagumma shoe?
Why don’t you design one?
I can’t believe this – “Dark Side of the Moon” Chuck Taylors? This is way too cool. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be available anywhere any more. I would have loved a pair of those to go with the many Pink Floyd t-shirts I had in my misspent youth!
There wasn’t much a better drums/bass combo than Keith Moon and John Entwistle. Those guys could ROCK.
I hear there’s a movie coming out about Keith Moon. Seems like it keeps getting put off, but I’m crossing my fingers…
The movie “Tommy” came out when I was in grade school. I saw it 14 times. I still love the soundtrack. Haven’t heard about a Keith Moon film, but it would indeed be awesome!
OMG, I’ve seen Tommy at least 20 times!!!
