Pitchfork Cobaggery Watch is swinging into gear for 2008 year end cataclysm!
We can start with a little taste. Allow me to place this below the fold because the Lovecraftian hideousness will likely corrode your eyes, your mind, your mind’s eye etc. into unspeakable and silent screaming of unknowable ugliness and horror. From the 20 worst album covers of 2008:
Huh. I guess I was expecting something at least the tiniest bit visually offensive, or maybe worse than a bunch of Sherwin Williams paint color watches? Maybe P-fork doesn’t like certain colors being together. P-fork is anti-miscegenation?
You got us again. Every year we fall into your trap about talking about your list as is the ever unchanging nature of year end lists. We will punish ourselves by looking at this oh-so-horrible mild-mannered Starbuckian cover of completely pleasantly arranged colors and unobtrusive fonts.
The engine has been warmed. When UC comes back from the subcontinent we shall bring you your yearly PCW cheer. Save the date, folks.
The captions were much more dreadful than any of those covers.
I look forward to and shudder at the appearance of the P-Fork end of year list. It’s like The Tribulation: I’m really curious to see how bad it will be but also know it means the final damnation of my soul.
Ooh, listen to Brando, all bragging because, like, he’s got a soul.
Show off.
Brando, you’re so right. Most of those captions made my 50 worst captions of 2008 list.
My favorite time of the year.
I actually find these microarray clustering heat maps a bit difficult to interpret. There must be a better way to visually present the data.
Actually, that’s Dick Cheney’s genome sequence.
I’m going to genome sequence that tomorrow if I don’t lay off the Scotch.
Here’s what you’re looking for, I think:

That Boned cover could be the best album cover I have ever seen…
It doesn’t hold a Roman candle to the Amon Tobin one Pitchfork mentioned. (NSFW).
Wow, that gives a whole new meaning to “it burns when I pee.”
I was hoping that I had just imagined that Tobin one. But I didn’t. Wow. That was AGGRESSIVE.
Ahhhh! I think Herbie Mann got a little too close to the Amon Tobin one. I’m all for chest hair, but that stuff looks singed!
