Book Covers to Music

So around this time I am feeling the time crunch pressuring me to stop procrastinating and start getting things done, I have understandably feel behind with my blogs here. Ah but there is a hidden silver lining to speak of. What is it I speak of, INSPIRATION!... from another aspect of my studies here at SUNY Plattsburgh. My final paper for an advanced art history class requires me to pick a contemporary artist and write an  eight to ten page paper on some aspect of them. I have chosen my Idol in terms of graphic designers, Chipp Kidd. What he is known for is his book covers, and more than likley you have seen more than one of them in your lifetime. The original cover and logo for Jurassic park comes from the inner workings of his mind. Yet despite all this, it is not even close to the subject I want to speak about with you all.

In my research I recently discovered my favorite artist of all time to be a musician as well. You'll have to understand my surprise in coming across the music video below, don't get me rong I actually love the song, but the fella down there wit the round glasses, I still find it hard to believe that is him really singing, and it is just amazing. To hear this guys general attitude and speaking voice, to hear this kind of music just has that effect to me.
