Best Album Art of 2013 So Far
November 25, 2013 via Pepsi
Best Album Art of 2013 (So Far)
As 2013 rounds its final stretch, this year's releases are pilling up with more albums on the way. This year in music has been exciting to say the least, from major comebacks, unexpected album drops, to brand new artists, our iTunes library is jam-packed with records and individual album artworks making for an exquisite sight. Album artwork is a key component to an album, it is the look a record is prematurely judged on and captures the theme the artist wants the album to portray. This year has definitely had a plethora of beautiful works and we have them all here for you to enjoy. Head into the list and check out the best album art of 2013 (so far).
Disclosure, Settle
The young English electronic duo Disclosure is known for their lightning-like outlined faces. It's a recurring design that's used in their music videos, street campaigns, on merchandise and albums. This time around brothers decided to grace the front of their Settle album but as an even younger them also featuring the lightning outline.
Shout Out Louds, Optica
Simple can sometimes be better and Shout Out Louds Optica cover art is an example of just that. The artwork features an outline of a woman sitting down with the name of the band and record disorganized on the body. The vibrant background is a definite eye catcher and molds well with darkness of the woman's outline. Simple but intriguing.
Foals, Holy Fire
One word to simply describe the imagery of Foals Holy Fire cover is beautiful. It features a group of people riding wild horses through restless waves in the sunset. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, insert CD and press play.
Toro Y Moi, Anything in Return
Anything In Return is a collection of vast creativity with bigger and poppier sounds and is definitely one of his most creative projects. If explained in a picture it would look exactly like the original album cover. Chaz (Toro Y Moi) partnered up with John Storz to craft the colorful cover. The artwork shows a half hidden Chaz and a colorful array of images.
Boards of Canada, Tomorrow's Harvest
Tomorrow's Harvest cover art is simply stunning. Featuring a beautiful and open horizon, the cover art goes hand and hand with the inspiration of the album, which is mortality and an "inevitable stage that lies in front of us," according to band member Mike Sandison.
Kanye West, Yeezus
Remember when I said simple can sometimes be better? Well nothing beats the Yeezus cover art for simple. Featuring nothing but a piece of red tape around the opening, the cover is a simple as it gets but what lies in the album itself is a chaotic beautiful mesh of music you won't get from any other artist.
Sigur Ros, Kveikur
The greatest thing about the Kveikur cover is that we have no idea about what's going on the picture but it's fantastic. It's mysterious and you draw your own answers about what the artwork means or represents. We could be all wrong and it actually means nothing at all but either way sit back and admire the art.
The National, Trouble Will Find Me
Scott Devendorf is to thank for this unique album cover featuring a woman peering at us halfway underneath a mirror. How did she get there? Why is she even doing it? Who knows, but even with countless interpretations, it certainly makes for a powerful image.
Danny Brown, Old
Danny Brown's Old cover is definitely a competitor for album cover of the year. The artwork is actually a real piece of art featuring a portrait of a regal and distinguished Brown in a vintage General outfit. The album doesn't drop until the end of the month but its cover is already an instant classic.

A great "2013 Annual Hong Kong Chowmeet of International Chowhounders" at 'Above & Beyond'
The first Hong Kong Chowmeet was conceived over 6 years ago. Held in a Wan Chai Private Kitchen, the meet was attended by a small group of 7 total strangers. The only common thread was their mutual love for food and their Chowhound Handle.
Subsequently, seven years and over half a dozen of luncheon and diiner chowdowns later, this event has blossomed into an annual International event attracting both local and overseas foodies.
This year, after a short 2 years hiatus, the annual chowmeet resumed once again, attended by local core members such as HKTraveller, Peech, e_ting, Uncle Yabai,..etc and international members such as Fourseasons, Asomaniac and Steve ( all 3 made special trips to attend! ). As well, there were a number of new addition such as NYC chowhounder Kobetobiko and 2012 chef of the year - David Lai....etc
The group selected the new and chic 'Above & Beyond' as our chowmeet venue. This restaurant had received rave reviews and numerous accolades since it opened and has been one of the hottest table in town for quality Chinese fine dining.
With the help of some of our esteemed members such as Susan Jung, Senior food & wine editor of SCMP and Chef Lai, a pre-arranged multi-course tasting menu was put together with input from Chef Tse of Above & Beyond.
The menu is as follows:
- Chinese Specialty Platter
(B-B-Q Suckling Pglet, Crispy 5 Spice Sliced Angus Beef Brisket, Smoked Egg with Oolong Tea Leaves and Black Truffles, Suckling Pig Knuckles in Abalone Sauce)
- Wok-Fried Crystal King Prawns with Honey Glazed Yunnan Ham
- Double Boiled Chicken Soup with Fish Maw and Coconut
- Wok-Fried Canadian Scallops with Black Truffles and Sea Urchins
- Wok-Fried Spotted Garoupa Fillet with Yunnan Ham and Scallions
- Smoked Crispy-Fried Chicken with Oolong Tea Leaves.
- Steamed Coral Crab with Glutinous Rice
- Dessert ( Caramel Brulee, Baked Egg Custard Tartlet, Chilled Jelly with Wolfberry Osmanthus )
Accompanying wines included Piper Korset Champagne, Maximum Grunhauser 1983 Riesling Auslese and a rare Magnum of Hugel 1985 Gewurztraminer VT, Special Sake directly from Japan and a bottle of Cognac. White wines were so generously contributed buy Chowhounder Peech, the Sake by CHer Asomaniac and Cognac by Chef Lai.
With so many fine dishes savored, I am not going to go through them individually one by one! Rather, I will mention briefly some of my favorite highlights and let the photos do the story telling!
First off, I love the flavourful, fork tender semi de-boned piglet knuckles. Great to munch on! The King Prawns was crunchy and sweet. Good but IMHO not as great as Tim's Kitchen. Likewise, the Yunnan Ham wrap was also good but again not as great as Shanghai Fraternity's. Ah! The soup! So delicate and tasty and the coconut aroma and taste was so mesmerizing! The supposedly 'wok-fried' scallops was prepared as if it was cooked 'sous-vide'?!. Irrespective of preparation method, it tasted very good!. The skin of the Crispy Chicken was indeed paper thin and ultra crisp! However, IMO, the smokey aroma was the real selling point. Lastly, the winning dish of the evening has to go to the Crab rice! The crab roe fried rice was sooo delicious, I noticed 'Fourseason' sitting next to me gobbled it up before I could count to 3!! Ha!! I wonder how many of us needed Crestor afterwards to help reducing the cholesterol??!! Ha!!
Once again, the Chowmeet was a resounding success, thanks to the good food and wine and the enthusiastic participation of the attendees. As I have eluded many a time in the past, its not just the food, its the COMPANY that counts!!
Until next time!!! Happy Chowing!!
re: Charles Yu
Sounded absolutely delish, Charles, and sorry to have to miss you and our other fellow Chowhounds yet again. I'm hoping to catch up with you in HK soon, before you go back to Toronto.
re: klyeoh
Peter, let us know when you come to town
Wow, that sounds really great. So sad I only come to HK in two days, would have loved to attend that big Chowmeet!
You know, Charles, I'm never gonna believe anyone in this crowd ever again when they say "oh I'm not gonna drink"…
Thanks so much for organizing, and great to see you back in town. Same with the others who flew in. Hope to be doing this for years to come!
…and sorry that the Hugel VT was corked
re: Peech
@ Peech
Well my friend, at least the restaurant gave us some freebie Champagne to quench so of the 'teatotallers' thirst!! Ha!
Agree! Great to see all the foodie friends again! However, Its getting harder and harder to find non-repetitive venues with 'consistent' food for our group of discerning hounds though??!!
Next time, may be we'll bring only wines with 'screwcaps' to make sure! Ha!!
Again, real nice to see you after this time and cannot wait to hear what you are going to serve your Mum during her next birthday?!
re: Charles Yu
That's interesting, Charles - I'd always thought Chinese chefs are more attuned to cooking for a fairly large (8-12 people) group, rather than small or singular portions the way French or Japanese chefs do.
re: klyeoh
the problem with very large groups is that the waitstaff will serve the food in individual portions, and if they don't control the temperature right to account for this, often the food will come to you a little lukewarm (or even cold) - thanks to the incessant A/C that blasts in all HK restos. I've had this happen to me on several occasions, and really takes the joy out of some of the food. The crab with glutinous rice that night was the perfect example.

Schadenfreude at its best. What a classic loss by the Jets. Sanchez still crippling the franchise is priceless.
Did anyone see Rex Ryan exiting the field, and as he walked off Sanchez was directly walking by him in opposite direction. And Ryan just walks by avoiding any single word. Can you say awkward??? Classic! This will be the end of Sanchez in NY.
Then we go on to the last weekend in football!

The good thing about history is that it teaches us what to expect.
Looking at it another way, the great Murray Walker used to say that he never made mistakes, only predictions that didn't always come true.
So what should we expect and/or predict when it comes to qualifying for the 2013 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix?
History first: the men who have been on pole here for the last seven years are all back again. That's Jenson Button (2006, 2009), Kimi Raikkonen (2007), Lewis Hamilton (2008, 2012) and Sebastian Vettel (2010, 2011).
For only two of those years have Pirelli been the tyre suppliers. In 2011 they brought their Soft and Hard choices; in 2012 it was Soft/Medium; in 2013 we see the Supersoft/Medium tyres from the P Zero range.
Friday practice yielded a fastest lap of 1:25.908 from Vettel with his Red Bull Renault on the red-marked Supersofts.
That compares with Seb's 2011 pole-winning time of 1:23.529 (228.552 km/h) and his 2012 mark of 1:24.922 (224.803). Will the new Supersoft option see a dramatic improvement on those times?
Predictions second – and Pirelli's Paul Hembery wasn't being drawn on that possibility after Friday's practice. "The medium tyre showed plenty of consistency, just as we expected, while the drivers also benefited from the rapid warm-up of the supersoft," he said – and that's the key.
Getting the tyres up to operating speed quickly was one of the guiding principles behind Pirelli's 2013 development program, and of course that's crucial when it comes to the short, sharp bursts needed for Q3-Q2-Q1 in today's qualifying format.
Pirelli say their softer compounds for 2013 should mean a lap-time improvement of half a second or so, with men like pole-sitting phenomenon Vettel poised to pounce on any performance gain.
Vettel, with 36, has been on pole more often than any of his 2013 rivals. Hamilton has 26 but it's a big ask to make it 27 first time out in his new Mercedes; Fernando Alonso has been on pole 22 times but never in Australia; Jenson Button's McLaren Mercedes looked anything but a contender in Friday's first outings.
That leaves Kimi from the previous Albert Park pole-sitters: could he add to his career tally of 16 with his first pole since returning to F1 last year? Or could Mark Webber get his season off to a flying start with his first pole on home soil, which would the 12th of his career?
Only time – and the times – will tell. But it is important: eight times in the previous 17 races here the pole-sitter has gone on to win the race…

Tired Old Ass Soak Mineral Bath Salts, for the Overworked and Underappreciated
Tired Old Ass Soak Mineral Bath Salts, for the Overworked and Underappreciated
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Tired Old Ass Soak Bath Salts …
"My daughter is a river raft guide for whitewater rafting. I have seen her work, and it is extremely physically demanding. I got her some Tired Old Ass Soak for Christmas, and she said that towards the end of a grueling trip, all she can think about is soaking in a hot tub of sheer heaven. She now presents me with her Christmas list in July, and Tired Old Ass Soak is right there on the top." - Debby, Grand Junction,
"For a Christmas gift I gave Tired Old Ass Soak to a business associate of our law firm and she is still laughing. She said it made her day. Thanks for providing a lot of fun to some very overworked paralegals." - Sally Nehrenberg, Charlotte, NC
"I was starting a new but 'second time around' relationship at an age too close to 60 to discuss and I needed to put a gift package together. Thankfully your catalog came to my rescue. The Tired Old Ass Soak isn't the only reason my relationship is still going strong, but it sure helped me show that I have a sense of humor...and allowed me to test his humor level also." - Judy Laughin, Cape Cod, MA
"Friend sent me one last year and I laughed until I cried!" - Faye, Newnan, GA
"I bought this for my husband who works in a factory and comes home very tired with aching muscles. This product is so good at relieving his aches and pains. I recommend this product to old and young!! I now buy it by the gallon." - Pam Moore, Morrison, OK
"I work in retail and the job is very hard on the back, legs, and feet. I am constantly bending, lifting, walking, and standing. At the end of the day I am sore and exhausted. I come home and have a hot soak with the Tired Old Ass and it is amazing. I draw a hot bath, light some candles, put on some soothing music and turn off the lights. I become totally relaxed and my sore muscles feel so much better. This was originally purchased as a joke gift but I tried it and have been a faithful user ever since. I have started giving this as gifts and once they try it, the smirks turn to smiles. The sampler is great because it gives the person a chance to try all the products. I love this stuff!" - Brenda Syvinski, Concord, NH
"I'm the oldest of three sisters and fast approaching 60. I work full time and am on my feet a good part of the day, which only aggravates my arthritis. So, as a joke my younger sister gave me the Tired Old Ass Soak for Christmas, saying she knew how my tired old ass needed it. Well, I gotta say, it's wonderful, and I'm buying more! Funny name, wonderful product!" - Alison Majeau, Reading, MA
"I received this as a gift a few years ago. Besides the obvious humor factor, the stuff really does work. I'm purchasing an extra jar this time as a gift for my chiropractor." - Barbara, Columbia, MO
"I gave TOA soak to my uncle as a humor gift two years ago -- while we all had a great laugh, he now insists that this is the gift he wants for every occasion. He's been getting at least two jars every Christmas (and more in between). He loves it." - Doris Green, Oxon Hill, MD
"I've been using the product now for almost 6 years - it's soothing and gentle to skin, great for relaxing after a long day working in the yard!" - Celeste, Olathe, KS
"A nursing friend gave me a sample of this from her stash! I had the start of a horrible cold and I was studying for midterms. This cleared up my sinus, I was able to breathe, and studying was a breeze and I rocked my tests! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR STUDENTS and THE STRESSFUL TIMES..." - Sandra Cusumano, Campbellsville, KY
"Honestly, I thought this product was a joke & purchased it as such. A humorous show & tell for my colleagues. It sat around until it got hard..but cheapskate that I am, I didn't toss it out. I chipped it out of the jar & had a soak for myself. This is the real deal, people. Authentically therapeautic. Not flowery or medicinal scented. This should be sold in MD offices...especially orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists. And anywhere rigorous physical or occupational therapies are endured. It would fly off the shelves."-Ruth Perchard, Torrance, CA
"A few years ago at age 66 while on my first U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer assignment in southern Africa, a friend sent a jar as a joke. After laughing about it and showing it to other PCVs, I started using it and was I surprised! Most of every day during the three years I was away was spent walking, often on unpaved roads. By the end of a week, my feet reminded me that they were old and tired. I tried to use it sparingly because I did not expect her to send more - but, she did and I am eternally grateful. Needless to say, I am hooked. At age 74, I am indeed old; however, thanks to Tired old Ass Soak, my feet are not tired. Although my friend still sends at least one jar each year, I think it's time to purchase a supply. I will not mention her name -- if she knows I've bought it she may decide to stop sending it annually." - Bonnie Orton, Chicago, IL
"I bought this product initially as a gag gift for my runner's club gift swap because I thought the name was too funny. Aside from its funny name, this product really works great! I run long distances training for marathons, and it turns out that this product is amazing to soak in after a long run. It cuts muscle recovery time and stiffness at least in half. It's great aromatherapy, too. Would highly recommend it!" - Linda Peoples, Lafayette, NJ
"For my sister's 40th birthday, I got her some Tired Old Ass Soak along with a few other things. She loves it! She said she wanted to order some more but I asked her to wait as Christmas was coming up. Thanks for providing something to give her that I KNOW will be a hit." - Heidi, Bonifay, FL
