Kung Fu Nation Essay Contest/Fav Sonic Album Cover
 

So I entered this contest at Kung Fu Nation and won 1st place...anyone else here enter this contest? It was about "What is your favorite Sonic Youth album cover". I'm stoked picking out all these free t-shirts, great company to put up such a cool contest.

You can read the essay here: http://www.kungfunation.com/

I'm "Eric"...just wondering if anyone else had thoughts on their favorite album cover, and if anyone gets a chance to read my essay - if they think i'm full of shit ;)

cheers!!!

-Eric

PS - BTW, Anyone figured out or have an interesting theory on what "Rather Ripped" means?

Jade got 3rd. She almost whooped y'alls asses with ONE MOTHERFUCKING PARAGRAPH.

Oh, and according to Adam and Every-N, Rather Ripped is titled that because you feel Rather Ripped off after buying it.

i liked Jade's - very concise and to the point. My sentiments exactly w/ the CIS cover, she nailed it. Mine was also one paragraph, just a tad bit longer than Jade's, maybe I was a tad bit overanalytical. Oh well. The second place was the lengthiest - interesting story about washing machine. Does that guy post on here from Sri Lanka? Wow, sonic youth fans everywhere...

Sorry, I read them yesterday. It is quite a bit longer than Jade's paragraph.

awesome man.
sounds good.

I kinda have ADD when it comes to these things so the only one I could really get through was Jade's. Pretty good.

congrats soniclife :) i only get a sticker and a mug.

ah so jade rears her head too...congrats on placing - I liked your take on CIS... After seeing sonic youth in tennessee last weekend, and them doing shaking hell, I just re-ordered CIS which I lost many years ago. Can't wait to hear it again. So I wonder how many people entered this contest...I didn't even get notification from KUNG FU actually. I just hopped on the site to see who won and found myself the winner...when were they announced? Did you actually hear from Kung FU that you won?

I wish I knew about this....good job.

Bah, I didn't win. I tried hard as well. Well, fuck KFN.

well, CIS just arrived at my work...sticking it in the CD player now for the first time in years. I didn't know Kim did the artwork for the cover, cool stuff.

evol is also my favorite album cover :D

good question. i think i am not able to answer the question myself. always loved the WM cover tho.

how about... mmm... HOLD THAT TIGER?

Yeah, I got an email from "Lauren" asking me what sticker I wanted.
