12. Debbie Harry KooKoo

I'm too dumb to post pics. Just trust me.

[Webster Green]

14. "Feats don't fail me now".....

by Little Feat, cover by Neon Park.

It got a little pixelated when I enlarged it so you can see George Washington and Marilyn Monroe in the car.

26. Neon Park!

His wife, Chick Strand, was one of my film teachers at CalArts. We had a class at their home once -- a beautiful old house in the Echo Park area. I think Neon passed through at one point, but I didn't get a chance to talk to him.

25. I like Zappa's "Ship Arriving Too Late..." LP, Big Black's "Atomizer", and

Devo's "Duty Now for the Future".

Revolver is great, and so is the Stones' "Goat Head Soup".

Sisters of Mercy's "Floodland: should be in there, too, and all of the Roxy Music and Cars albums.

30. Candy-O

Vargas has been drawing his girls since World War 2. It was good to see them back, very good:



Tn their attempt to outdo the Sargeant Peppers Album the Rolling Stones put out Satanic Majisty's Request. The music felll a little short but the cover with the 3D image was a winner:



Always my all-time favorite:

[Whitacre D_WI]

31. Surfer Rosa.

And NOT just because it shows boobies. It's simply a beautiful cover:

[jpgray]

32. Robert Wyatt's Shleep is cool
