THANK GOD IT'S BIG STAR!


I bought my copy of Big Star's Radio City at Tropicalia Discos in Rio, Brazil. Dudes KNOW their sh@t. Deep seven inch knowledge of the most obscure + funky cuts from Brazil....

But, this is about the back cover. Big Star digs Fridays! The photo on the back the 1974 album was shot at Fridays restaurant. Was Fridays the hawt spot back in the day? Check the close-up. Probably accidental sponsorship. Nowadays the band could of gotten some corporate cheese.
Check out photographer William Eggleston's account of the shot of the iconic front cover. CLICK

Damn, I've listened to this record a lot...!

BEN IS DEAD BIG STAR HULK HAIKU BLUES


Used to Love Ben Is Dead. (Hulk lifted from a cover.) Amazing pop-culture obsessives magazine from L.A. More random stream of consciousness visuals.... (Not really a) Haiku Blues cuz the Haiku is as busted as Hulk's stereo after listening to Big Star.

You're drivin' me mad
You shouldn't do that O My
Soul I lose control





Wrong cover art in the video but dig the blinking neon...
