Thanks for the write up, and for those of you on the fence re: "whether Mink Car is a good enough album to merit buying the cover," um... yes, our cover is THAT GOOD. Give it a stream at Bandcamp. :) Hi, I’m Blue from Hello, The Future! and I’m part of the Mink Car Cover team.

"Hovering Sombrero" is a classic just for the mind-twisting "Time is flying like an arrow..." verse, one of my favorite John Linnell lyrics of all time. There was also an even more bizarre alternate version of it released as a bonus track on one release of <i>Here Come the ABCs</i>.

And the list of people involved is probably enough to sway me. Mink Car is hardly one of the best of TMBG’s albums, but it’s a cool idea nonetheless.
