    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

          so Otter Creek is still available ...
          It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            The draft order was fixed specifically to give Steve the first pick so we could all mock it.

            I was planning to take it for my most overrated slot.

                    And just about every other "best album art" survey I've ever seen. Love the LP, but I'd consider at least two of their covers to be better than Night At The Opera. But that's me, and looking at other people POVs is what makes these fun.

                      I assume we can shift picks around to different categories as the draft progresses. Nevermind could end up in Synergistic or LOL, depending on how things go.

                      I have the full-sized poster of Nevermind framed and hanging in my little synth studio.

                          Which makes the pick all the more compelling, amiright?!

                          I have two others in frames that will be going up on my wall that will likely be picked shortly, but I just couldn't resist. I'll be curious if there's any push back from other drafters.

                              Don't get us moved to Hot Topics.

                              I might have picked it for Synergistic. I think the cover made sense for the band at that point in the continuum of their artistic progression. I can see how it might be looked upon as a bit ridiculous removed from that context.

                              I can't deny that the concept reeks of Yoko. :blecch:

                                I think it's just a question of finding a large source image. I open the image in my browser to make sure it's the size I want before I link to it. Other than that, just follow Revo's instructions in the other thread.
