But then I stumbled over this excellent article by Chip Scanlan from the Poynter Institute where he writes: It’s […]

The Kitten Covers – a musical journey

The Kitten Covers Tumblr blog presents legendary albums where the people of the original artwork has been replaced by kittens. As I thought the concept was genius, I decided to write short reviews of all these classic albums. The rules are simple: I have to listen through the entire album (but if a song disturbs me, I […]
