Sleeveface pool on Flickr

Sleeveface is my new favorite Flickr pool. There are more than 700 examples and they're a total laff riot. Seen here are contributions from John Rostron (left) and Godesinge (right). Link (Thanks, Jess Hemerly!)

David Pescovitz is Boing Boing's co-editor/managing partner. He's also a research director at Institute for the Future. On Instagram, he's @pesco.

Here‘s Daniel Eskils video for Knight Music’s “Green River Killer” that uses this to very chuckleworthy effect.

I believe that this flickr group actually came first and is substantially larger. And they call them LP Portraits.

Hi David! One of my favs too. ‘Just last week we translated this idea (having been inspired by the same Flickr pool) into video form, one of our better episodes I think:

@1 I’m having a bit of a hard time appreciating the video, given how thoroughly repellent the song is.

Wow, I didn’t realize that youngsters nowadays still listen to Big Black. Maybe there is hope for the future.

I can’t believe that out of all 700 entries, there’s not one Jandek LP.
