Triple J's The Great Aus Album Cover Up

[Kristen]

As part of Triple J's Aus Music Month, they're running The Great Aus Album Cover Up competition:

Alright you music nerds. It's time to test your Australian album art knowledge. We've selected 25 great Aussie albums for you to spot BUT you can only see a tiny peephole of the artwork! If you can work out the artist and album name for all them, you'll have the chance to enter the draw to win all 25 albums!

TLE's Self Titled album is one of them. Who can name some of the rest? Between us we should be able to work out all 25.

Enter here (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/events/ausmusicmonth_08/album_coverup/)

[Colezy]

Amy - you should share your answer to 10 and 12 with me, cos I gave away 14 of mine just like that *clicks fingers*

:p

[May]

I kinda think 10 is Easybeats for some reason. Tho maybe Rat Cat. Or something...

And I wouldnt be surprised if 12 is corroboree or something like that.

*edit*
Time and Tide was the cover I was thinking of - not corroboree!

But I dont think it's it.

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/12843.jpg

[Colezy]

I tried googling easybeats..but so far, nothing. Didn't look too hard tho :p

[May]

Yeah, just for some strange reason it reminds me of one of dad's old albums. Seem to remember Stevie sitting in a suit with a stripe shirt under and a sheepskin...
But that was mannnny years ago... *clears the dust and cobwebs away*

[timboS]

10 is sleepy jackson - lovers

:)

[Deadcat Kaye]

Only needing 11 and 25 now.

11 is just getting me majorly frustrated..I know it..Just can't think of it@!!

[Big J.G]

I give up, I put in just about every aussie artist I know for Number 11. The answer could be so obvious that we would slap ourselves in the head when/if we find out the answer.

[Colezy]

11 caught my attention right away cos it looks so damn familiar. Will have to raid my CD collection very soon me thinks.

[Big J.G]

I just raided mine and...nothing :(

Get Kev to raid his haha

[Mellow]

I think we're all in the same boat here. 11 is the Drones. Now who's got 25? Then we're all in the running! haha.

[Big J.G]

Thanks mate!

So #11: The Drones - Wait Long by the River...


And what's 12?

[Colezy]

I love it how we've got two people sign up and they each have one post each which tells us what the answers are :p

I have that Drones album, so I would have got it eventually! :p
I know number 12. But I'm not telling haha giving away 14 is enough for me!

[Deadcat Kaye]

All I need is 25 now...damn it..I'm fucking stumped.

[Colezy]

I've definitely seen 25 before...not that that's helping me.

[Big J.G]

Just be thankful number 25 is possible now, because before there have been reports of people who had the album or knew it, but kept getting it wrong, they contacted triple J and Triple J realised that it was their own fault.

Number 25 looks sort of John Mayer-ish, I tried John Mayer, didn't work.

[Big J.G]

I'm all researched out and I cannot find the last one. DAMMIT.

[Colezy]

It looks older, but I have a feeling that its a fairly recent release.

[Kristen]

You kids are so smart. I hope one of you wins.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Still Need Number Twenty Five

[Colezy]

This is driving me nuts!!

[mel_bound]

Me too! *googles some more*

[Big J.G]

There's one thing that's definite. The artist of Album 25 has not entered the Triple J Hottest 100 ever. Yes, I did go through all of them and tried them.

[Absolution]

Grrsh, this is annoying me...looks familiar, just can't quite remember it.

It feels to me like an older album...that's the only inkling I've got for it atm...*goes back to google and storming his father's cd collection*

We'll get it soon enough.

[Big J.G]

Got the last one:

Artist: Koolism
Album: Part 3 Random Thoughts

Now give me Number 12!

[May]

I think if you'd given her another 13 and not been a demanding sod, then she might consider it? :p

[Big J.G]

I can do what I did with Number 25 to number 12 and just search my heart out, but right now I can't be fucked.

[Deadcat Kaye]

If you look REALLY hard then you'll get number 12....
EVERYONE will get number 12...just gotta look HARD ;)

[Big J.G]

Number 12 looks like Eskimo Joe, but thats not it.

Can you just give us a hint? I'm too hungry to look.

[The Dying Start]

I think there was a hint.

And no Chisel? That's deplorable...they had some mad covers, AND they're one of the greatest Aussie Bands.

[cetaiced]

#12 is a relatively recent release (relative to some of the ones on this list anyway)

[Big J.G]

So would that be Late 90's - Early 00's?

[Big J.G]

I really don't think that there is a hint there. I saw a hint on another website for Number 25 and that lead me to find Koolism.

The hint was, 2004 Hip-Hop Album by a JJJ Presenter

[Deadcat Kaye]

Look harder and you'll find it.


YAY I just entered..>WOOT :D

[Colezy]

Yeah, I entered earlier this arvo :D

[Big J.G]

I can't enter because..NO NUMBER 12

[Colezy]

Yeah well how many others would you have worked out if I didn't post the 14 that I did?? Probably not all 14, I bet.

So too bad, work this one out yourself. Not that I came up with number 12 myself, but still :p

[Big J.G]

I have number 14 in my cd collection, I would have got that eventually.

[Colezy]

And the other 13??? :p

[Big J.G]

Oh, I thought you meant NUMBER 14. Sorry.

[WHITE FALCON]

when does the winner get announced?

[Mogle]

12 is gotye - like drawing blood

Someone said it early in the thread.

lol
I got one on my own.

[Kev]

I only jsut saw this thread.

I did quite well without looking at answers. Number 11 was an easy one. One of my favorite artists :D
