Image of the Week for 07-19-10
July 20, 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of my debut sound recording, “Toasting Mr. Pizza Company Man.” Unfortunately, due to rather poor planning on my part, there will not be a commemorative CD re-issue of that album on this date … you might have to wait for the 25th anniversary Blu-ray audio double-disc set instead. But don’t hold your breath.
There are a lot of elements in this image that tie in with the album. The obvious one is the cut-out head of the Pizza Company Man (the on-campus pizza take-out service at the University of Kentucky in 1990) stuck in the toaster, hence the title. There’s also a molecular model kit threading the hash brown which tied in with the song “Carbocations” that appeared on the album. Some of the other miscellaneous objects (the tube of toothpaste, the telephone recording suction cup, the tube of Oxy-10) were going to be mentioned in songs on the album but ultimately did not.
And then there’s the coffee cup which, of course, ties in with the first single, “Drinking Coffee” (if you are looking at this entry after 2010, this link might not work, as I may have deleted the file by then).
