[kj] Hosannas, The Cover

[Jiri]

My thinking:
I really wish they were using Colesy, his stuff is so complete and 
appropriate for the material it almost goes without saying. But if 
they're not using the man with glee, at least they're not pulling a 
Krusty. (Though the font might as well be called "If Krusty Could 
Write.") And at least they're not pulling a  "Jaz's Big Head in front of 
three nobody's--oh, those are the other members" as in Night Time, or 
"Now Just Jaz's Big Head" as in BTATS.

At least this is art, something I can look at for a while. I'm cool with 
using art that moves you, and if this is housed in a gallery in Prague, 
perhaps it means something to one of them (*cough* Jaz). But here the 
original, bigger, non-square piece looks more interesting to me than the 
cropped bit on the cover! And the font will truly make me embarrassed to 
show the album to non-converts. ("Never mind that, just have a 
listen...they're actually in their 40s")
