Noooo. I missed a discussion of fonts.

Stop your complaining & start a thread...

Just got tickets to The Eagles today!

Whenever I here anything about the Eagles I always think of this.

Looking at my Secret Treaties CD today and noticed it was produced for reissue by a Bruce Dickinson. Coincidence or not?

 

[Perun]

There actually is a rock producer called Bruce Dickinson. His most notable contribution was a Blue Öyster Cult best of, and that's why they used his name in the cowbell skit.

That sketch confused me so much when I was younger. "Why does Bruce Dickinson sound like that?! Why would SNL pick the lead singer of Iron Maiden as a record producer in the mid-1970s?!"

So the long-running strike at my office continues.
This week they decided to suspend operations until further notice.
I have been temporarily moved to fill a vacancy at another nearby office.
They stressed this does not mean permanent closure, but I think the writing may be on the wall.

The second they start moving people to other offices, it's not a good sign. Time to get the ol' CV in order.

He's an executive at Sony who oversaw a number of artist compilations (including "The Essential Blue Oyster Cult" ). He even has a linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/bruce-dickinson/7/71/503

Secret Treaties is possibly my favorite from BOC

 

[RTC]

I'd say Treaties is my favourite, closely followed by FOUO (which I don't own yet).

I never knew that Dio's mascot had a name, let alone a name like Murray.

That's a pretty amazing coincidence!

They're reaching pretty far for mascots. They're taking anything with a name that has appeared on an album cover. Since when is the Painkiller a "mascot" for Priest?

A true mascot appears in multiple artworks, doing different things at different times. Eddie is the classic case, Vic Rattlehead another good example. One album cover doesn't make a mascot.

Nor is a consistently used symbol a mascot. Metallica's "Scary Guy"...

...is not a mascot, because you never see it except in that depiction. When they draw Scary Guy doing something else, I'll call him a mascot.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Yeah, it's pretty loose. I'd say half of them are actually mascots, the rest are padding to fit in with the basketball theme.

I know I put this in the pictures thread, but it's worth another post.

I've been viewing it via the reflection in my phone screen...tinted glass. It works a treat.

Clever! I approve.
