Hat tip to antiquiet...
The Foo Fighters‘ new album Wasting Light (out today) hardly looks like a 21st-century album release. The groovy multicolored cover art looks like it would be more at home in a disco, and a sticker on the front proudly states that it was “Recorded Entirely On Analog Tape In Dave’s Garage.”
As if to emphasize the oddity, copies of Wasting Light are also packaged with a piece of the actual master tape. Yes, really — the album’s master has been sliced into “a million fucking pieces,” according to Dave Grohl, and redistributed to the masses.
