DJ Shadow Variations

Have you ever heard of this guy before? One of the better ambient trip-hop guys out there. Anyway, I was amblin’ along when I noticed something familiar on one of his album covers.

Go to www.amazon.com/music, search for “DJ Shadow,” and take a close look at the two versions of the album art for The Private Press (#3 & #8 the day I looked). If you haven’t seen these before, I won’t spoil the surprise — but two variations on a theme + the record’s name can’t be an accident.

Just so happens to be an excellent album, too (if you’re into this kind of thing).

If you’re an O’Reilly fan, you can jump to the punch line by just looking at this cover.
