Sleeveface Deutschland
This post is about the Sleeveface book being released in Germany. Wunderbar!
Musikliebhaber inszenieren ihre Stars hingebungsvoll, amüsant und augenzwinkernd. Dieses Buch vereint die schönsten Fotos, ausgewählt aus Tausenden Sleevefaces aus aller Welt.
Man nehme eine gute alte Schallplatte, halte die Hülle so vor sich, dass sie eigene Körperteile mit den auf ihr abgebildeten des Musikers verdeckt, und werfe sich in Pose. So entstehen wunderbare, witzige, geistreiche Illusionen und Interpretationen von Stars. John Travolta ist ein Mann? Ganz sicher? Wie saugt Elvis Costello Staub? Und wo relaxt Tom Jones?

Deepspace5 video with Sleeveface pics and rhymes galore
Deepspace5 are some kind of many-headed hip-hop beast. I can’t say I knew about them before but someone just emailed me a link to their new video which has LOADS of Sleeveface pics.
The track is a new one, called From The Outside. As well as some rather robust beats, the group rather neatly match each sleeve to a rhyme. Kudos.
The group join other luminaries from the creative arts who have incorporated Sleeveface (or Sleeveface-esque) themes into their work – including The Killers, Karl Lagerfeld, Rannel Theatre Company and Archimède.
