Pointless Topics

Maybe it’s just my phone or the way the forum renders the image or something, but zooming in doesn’t exactly help. Image seems pretty lo res.

Yeah, forum seems to zap away res. Maybe I could take another pic if anyone is interested, otherwise I could just post the answers.
Remember, aside from the obvious large figures, nearly all references are from famous album covers. I can make them out even at low res but I know what they all are so… ha.

Naz, there are a few really obvious metal icons in there, REALLY obvious.

Does this help any? Might show bigger if you click on image EDIT: it doesn’t!

Only just realised there’s a glaringly obvious Autechre album cover in there.

number 2 is an affro comb

The quality is pretty poor so there are loads that will be impossible to get, the light doesn’t help some either. You have to look hard but there are really obvious ones in there.

Digable Planets.

Is number 47 Stan Getz?

notactuallyhere · October 30, 2023, 2:12pm

Polar James, my man! Good spot!

Said it before but 30 and the guy next to him is Boards of Canada.

notactuallyhere · October 30, 2023, 2:18pm

Yes and no. Radiohead was already spotted.

So, we have:

Zappa 2. Digable Planets 5. Cardiacs 7. Claude Debussy 10. Prince 11. Little Dragon 14. A tribe called quest 21. Squarepusher 23. Bjork 30. Boards of Canada 34. Radiohead 35. Autechre 36 Miles Davis 37. Plaid 43. Aphex 44. GYBE 45. Super Furry Animals 47. Stan Getz 49. Mr Scruff.

So more than I thought… collectively.

Don’t worry, I got your guess early on.

buildafire · October 30, 2023, 2:19pm

Wasn’t a guess.

notactuallyhere · October 30, 2023, 2:22pm

of course, you know what I mean. Your correct evaluation of a poor depiction of a very typical image of a pair of Scottish musicians
