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!)

  • Flakcatcher

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

  • l0k1

  • PolishQ

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