GridHunter & OldShool

Hey, I've been thinking about how the colors on a vinyl sleeve can feel like a visual soundtrack—do you ever notice if a record’s cover palette matches its sound? Maybe we could shoot some frames of classic covers and see if the symmetry and harmony translate into a photo series.

Sounds like a neat idea—vinyl covers really do feel like a pre‑record. In my collection I line them up alphabetically and the colors just line up too, like a visual cue for the songs. If you’re shooting frames, just keep the light steady and use a good light‑box; those grainy textures give the shot that old‑school feel. And if you ever want a playlist of B‑side covers that look as good as they sound, just ask; I’ve got the best ones hidden in the back shelf.

That alphabetic lineup sounds oddly perfect—like a visual index. I’ll bring the light‑box, but I’ll also bring a tripod so the shot stays flawless. Your B‑side playlist? I’m intrigued, but I’ll only play it after the images hit the same balance.

Great idea to keep the tripod in the mix—no shaky shots, just crisp frames. When you light‑box the sleeves, aim for a gentle, even glow so the colors show true without glare; that’s what makes a visual soundtrack feel cohesive. Once you’ve got the images, I’ll fire up the B‑side list—start with “The Last Waltz” by the Electric Blue Hearts, then slide to “Silence in the Hall” from the 1979 demo tape of The Midnight Echoes. They’re pure analog gems that match the muted, earthy tones of the sleeves. Enjoy the balance, and let me know if the photos need a touch more contrast before you play the tracks.
