Bored now Christmas is finished? Why not dig out your old vinyl records and do a Sleeveface? – heh you can use that new camera you got. Sleeveface, which is the art of – well see above – sticking a record cover in front of your face, really took off last year. There’s a website, a facebook group and a book:
“This book WON’T help you lose weight, make friends or money, won’t help you give up chocolate or change the way you think. It will, however, make you laugh, stare and wonder at the brilliance of Sleeveface!” Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1
Here’s a step by step guide to the fad that is saving vinyl from extinction:
Particullaly helpful at this time of year if you are looking a bit rough after a late night party! Now then where’s my copy to Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax 12 inch? A light limber up with naked twister and I’ll be ready to Sleeveface!
Mike, Happy New Year!!! We used to do this all the time with our albums, but it didn’t come out as good as Sleeveface. I better get started with my over 300 albums vinyl collection (or more, I stopped cataloging and counting). Thanks for the preview and the video was a great introduction even if they talk kinda funny!
CC
wow.. CC you got a pretty impressive collection of vinyl.. they are so classic..
classic=old
Loving that Adam ant album cover in the youtube clip Mike…the memories came flooding back…
Back to those whells of steel
Nice Mike, happy new year to you.
I have no idea what album cover would suit my face today, perhaps Iron Maidens Eddie.
LOL – I’ll take any oasis one pour moi….or Fats Domino (s pizza)
Happy New year Mike
All my albums are still in storage… arghhhhh…….
love vinyl there is something real about it….
Disc just seem cold….. dont know.. its the same with e-books versus real books…
No need here to worry about Hangovers I simply dont get them … ever…. get as drunk as I like and nope no hangover…. lol…
Jeolous arent you all… hehehehehehehehhe.. I can hear you… lol….
This looks like a fun thing to try …. might go visit and borrow a few covers…..
hehehhehe
What I am beginning to miss even more is the size of the artwork, or just plain artwork and the lyrics being larger in print. I just started wearing progressive lenses (bifocals without the line!!). I can’t read some of the inserts!! Maybe, that is why vinyl making a little of a come back!!! LOL!!!
Dont worry CC
I have trouble with the print to, what about the print on the back of DVD cases… lol..
I hope your right with the come back…
at least I might be able to read the Album title…lol
in a few years…lol
No hangovers? A medical miracle – you didn’t say you had magical powers Kessa!
Ah Full of surprises….. is this little aussie..
It is true though…. never ever get one…. no one really knows how or why I do it….
hehehehehe.. it is good …..
I’ve never had a hangover, but I never really drank much either.
see you dont have to be magical …. lol.. just have common sense…. lol….
My discovery however was made whilst lacking the common sense part of the details… lol
LOL!!! I never liked the little bit of feeling at the beginning of losing control which is why I didn’t like drinking. However, at happy hour, I’d get a coffee drink and go home and sleep. When we went dancing, I would have at the most two mixed drinks. I would get a wee bit drunk, but by the time I got home I was perfectly fine. Hangover and being drunk are two experiences that I don’t want to have ever. I drink way less than I used to which means not at all. Not necessarily for religious reasons. For me, drinking is okay, but you are not to become “drunk.” This differs from many of my friends.
Loosing control was never the issue with me CC loosing my dinner on the other hand now that was a problem… lol…
I am a fun drunk when I choose to have a few, dancing with or without music, having a blast in my younger days… these days however It takes me about 3 drinks to be drunk… so no expense… no use bothering really… and having the kids must be a positive role model so I didnt drink, usually as well I was the Designated driver so not alcohol at all……
These days a little bit of a party pooper in that regard, when I DJ at clubs and for private functions it was hillarious watching folks progressively getting drunker… I would place bets with the staff on who would fall down first, who was which type of drunk, and the first two to fight.. I know but hey it was all fun…. lol
lol……
Yep gone are the days of ten pints – I’d be gone after 3 these days – sigh – I don’t like this getting old thing
