So I entered this contest at Kung Fu Nation and won 1st place...anyone else here enter this contest? It was about "What is your favorite Sonic Youth album cover". I'm stoked picking out all these free t-shirts, great company to put up such a cool contest.

You can read the essay here: http://www.kungfunation.com/

I'm "Eric"...just wondering if anyone else had thoughts on their favorite album cover, and if anyone gets a chance to read my essay - if they think i'm full of shit

cheers!!!

-Eric

PS - BTW, Anyone figured out or have an interesting theory on what "Rather Ripped" means?

Oh, and according to Adam and Every-N, Rather Ripped is titled that because you feel Rather Ripped off after buying it.

i liked Jade's - very concise and to the point. My sentiments exactly w/ the CIS cover, she nailed it. Mine was also one paragraph, just a tad bit longer than Jade's, maybe I was a tad bit overanalytical. Oh well. The second place was the lengthiest - interesting story about washing machine. Does that guy post on here from Sri Lanka? Wow, sonic youth fans everywhere...

Sorry, I read them yesterday. It is quite a bit longer than Jade's paragraph.

I kinda have ADD when it comes to these things so the only one I could really get through was Jade's. Pretty good.

ah so jade rears her head too...congrats on placing - I liked your take on CIS... After seeing sonic youth in tennessee last weekend, and them doing shaking hell, I just re-ordered CIS which I lost many years ago. Can't wait to hear it again. So I wonder how many people entered this contest...I didn't even get notification from KUNG FU actually. I just hopped on the site to see who won and found myself the winner...when were they announced? Did you actually hear from Kung FU that you won?
