gross, anime. and i don't even like when tDR is being so obviously tDR: "oh what's this? a B-12 videogame? my mistake! it's Wipeout for playstation!" i prefer when they don't have to milk the japanese advert look for all it's worth. or whip something up in 5 seconds a-la REACT ARTCORE drum'n'bass compilations with the random cut'n'skew look. lowercase lettering still does it for me, though! tomas

does anyone out there enjoy the work of ME Company? yeah, the guys that handle Bjork/Sugarcubes and the Shamen? i think the artwork through out each album campaign has been fantastic. the shamen wasn't that good, but they also had a good campaign no less. anyone know why Me Co stopped adding the tag "one little <some phrase>"? was there a dispute between them a tDR? well, check out yer old bjork and shamen cds (there are probably others)... example: bjork - debut "one little exchange of emotion" - venus as a boy "one little hermaphrodite" sugarcubes "one little bugger" etc
