Since the album is only available online so far, (unless you order the exclusive box, that is) i decided to make a cover for those of us who burned the files to a cd in order to enjoy it in a proper stereo. Here it is, my gentle Radiohead tribute, the unofficial "In Rainbows" CD cover, by Sebastian Larsmo. It´s in proper size, so one can just download it, print it (via photoshop is probably the easiest way) and stick it inside the cd case.

You like Vonnegut and you made a far cooler cover than that hideous Technicolor monstrosity that is the real "In Rainbows" cover. That's two sets of brownie points in my book.

Here's a whole bunch. Some of my favourites from there:

However I really like yours, KT.

Now I have to download it, if only to slap a different awesome cover on every track in iTunes.

I really liked their non-chalant way of saying "No, really it's up to you."
Very typical Radiohead-ish (I guess Thom Yorke-ish, but whatever).

Btw. Very nice work KT

lol @ the Zwan parody.

rb_lestr · « **Reply #8 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 14:25 »

Love this thread.

I'm all into computers and shit, so the one with the sequence of colour values was the only way to go in my view.
Some really savage covers there.
Saving the best ones.

Well done man, you're covers awesomeness embodied. What an inspired idea.

CmonMiracle · « **Reply #10 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 15:39 »

I like Johnny's first one the best.

Johnny C · « **Reply #11 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 16:15 »

KT, I'm not sure whether I like the one with colour in it or the black & white one more.

I think if the rainbow fit inside the lines of the black & white one it'd actually be perfect.

NEEDS MOAR GREYSCALE RAINBOWS

There. I said it.

Kilgore_Trout · « **Reply #13 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 17:17 »

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Yes indeed, the rainbow looks better inside the lines of the first version, so that´s how it looks now after yet a dramatic update.

Carlyism · « **Reply #14 on:** 04 Nov 2007, 18:11 »

Whoa, nice album cover Kilgore_Trout!

Right now I'm deciding between your cover, or the last one Johnny C posted.
They're both very good.

i'd actually like to see the radioheaded man stuck in traffic. Didn't yorke say that theme of the album is the fear you should be doing something else while stuck in traffic(metaphor?). It's just what i think.

Luke C · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 03:41 »

Nice one Kilgore, thats pretty sweet.

They are some awesome ones in the link Johnny posted but also some err...not so awesome ones lol.

Ben yayayayayayayay · « **Reply #17 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 06:55 »

They remind of the cover for Aeroplane

Kilgore_Trout · « **Reply #18 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 08:37 »

It is now fully finished, it evolved into some kind of folding cover, thanks for all the feedback during the process.

The last one reminds me of the cover from DCFC's Plans. It ooooozes mediocrity.

minkles · « **Reply #20 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 12:12 »

I used a different cover for the album art for each track in my iTunes library. Kilgore_Trout, yours is "Videotape".

minkles · « **Reply #21 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 12:20 »

This one's probably my fav though:

rb_lestr · « **Reply #22 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 14:08 »

Awesomely clever album cover.

Kilgore_Trout · « **Reply #23 on:** 05 Nov 2007, 14:56 »

yeah, it´s cool. Reminds me of the EEG-Joy Division one.

Kilgore_Trout · « **Reply #24 on:** 06 Nov 2007, 11:03 »

any thoughts on the finished product? http://kaskelotkomix.net/INRAINBOWS

Johnny C · « **Reply #25 on:** 06 Nov 2007, 12:44 »

As an actual insert, I think it would be pretty rad. I almost think it would work better with the title of the record facing the inside, but I'd have to print it out to know for sure.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #26 on:** 06 Nov 2007, 14:28 »

i have never listened to Radiohead but this thread is awesome and it's also awesome what they did with this album. way to go, world.

GenericName · « **Reply #27 on:** 06 Nov 2007, 18:04 »

Actually, for a while I had a screenshot from Katamari Damacy as the album cover, sicne when I first heard the beat from 15 Step it sounded like the King Of All Cosmos.
Plus it was a really amusing shot with a rainbow coming out of the King's mouth.

But I'll replace it now! These are all quite awesome.

kablaaamo · « **Reply #28 on:** 14 Nov 2007, 17:05 »

I'm not much of an audiophile, but I jacked this image off of Pitchfork for use in my iTunes...it's staying as my cover despite the awesomeness of you folk just because I think that it expresses THE funniest complaints about In Rainbows.
