  • Auuugh

    meg has managed to keep me awake for the last half hour or so with her album cover challenge, where she has skilfully photoshopped out immediately identifying features from 60 album covers, i.e. the album title and artist(s) name(s), and asked everyone to figure out what each of them is.
