700 beds! This episode covers the the story behind A Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd.
It’s not technically a Hipgnosis cover…or is it?
I talk about the new documentary Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) (Go see it!!)
This record cover didn’t make an appearance in the film for good reason but I still wanted to explore this insane feat that could only have been pulled off by the amazing Storm Thorgerson. Fast forward to 2021 and the band gets back together for a remix of the original art…kind of.
BONUS: watch til the end for my ai experiments in attempting to create this thing the lazy way. What could go wrong?
Check it out on youtube under Design Freaks Podcast and everywhere else you get podcasts!
*I also recommend you check out my Hipgnosis episode from 2020 (it’s #12! Not 13 like I say in the episode lol) with the one and only Kurt Bloch!

Did you know 3 Feet High and Rising was designed to have no right way up? The cover works at any angle! Toby Mott is a punk historian/collector who founded the Grey Organisation and art directed the concept and creation of the neon D.A.I.S.Y Age aesthetic we all came to know. Check out this episode to learn more about the process, photography, inside sleeve comics, and discover other random connections!
This record brought me so much joy as a kid and I thought the design was worth talking about.
And of course, this episode is dedicated to the brilliant David Jude Jolicoeur / Trugoy the Dove / Plug 2 / Dave. He passed way too soon but left a giant legacy. He revealed his battle with congestive heart failure publicly in November 2017, in the opening scene of the video for De La's "Royalty Capes". In the video, Trugoy wears a LifeVest defibrillator and said, "it will shock me, and hopefully bring me back from the matrix. I'm ready just to get back to the stage. I miss it. I love traveling; I love being around my guys. And I want that back." #restinpowertrugoy

In episode 55, I speak with comic artist and musician Zak Sally (The Hand, Low, Enemymine).
NOTE: This episode was recorded the day before founding member of Low, Mimi Parker passed away so our tone is much different than it would be today. The world lost such a special talent/voice/truth/light. Please keep an eye on the Low facebook page for a special piece that Zak wrote for Mim.
I'm so thankful that I got to meet with Zak. We covered a lot of ground, including stories behind the Low album covers, Fantagraphics, teaching, and his life and creative trajectory.
What is the point of Art?

Tadanori Yokoo is one of the best-known Japanese illustrators, painters, and graphic designers of post-war Japan. This episode features a very special guest– Professor of Japanese Art and Culture at Harvard University, and my sister, Melissa McCormick!
We discuss Yokoo's absurdist psych record covers from the '70s, including the album "Lotus" for Carlos Santana which holds the world 'record' for the most gatefolds!
Plus, lots of other-worldly weirdness and a snapshot of his origin story.
