I loved that record. Vinyl has disappeared for]]> When I was a kid, all the music I listened too came on vinyl. I had the Dukes of Hazzard album on vinyl, and the coolest thing about it was that the record had a picture of the Dukes printed on it. I loved that record. Vinyl has disappeared for the most part, but you can still get some music on vinyl and the coolest records I have seen since that Dukes album are these CMYK EPs by James Blake.

Apparently, Blake is a DJ that samples other tunes and makes dance/hip-hop music. The cool thing about these records isn’t the music, but the records themselves. You can get the EP vinyl in translucent cyan, magenta, and yellow colors.

When you get all three and overlap them, you get the CMYK color model and it’s really cool. I would totally hang these on my wall since I no longer have a record player and loathe dance music.

Oh, and blue, and yellow, and… well. You see. It’s bright. You could aim logs at this walker from quite a distance away.

Evil looks good in bright colors. In fact, I don’t know why evil things are so often plain. Evil needs to adopt color. Embrace fun. Everyone’s going to hate you anyway, so you might as well have a good time.

I can’t decide if this walker is more or less sinister with these colors. I know I would be too paralyzed with shock to fight back against such a beast. I guess that means it’s super effective!
