Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
If you were desperately hoping for a Tuesday afternoon diversion that combined your love of music with your love of tacos, have we got great news for you. Welcome to the wonderful world of Album Tacos.
WTF are Album Tacos, you ask? It's exactly what it sounds like: Your favorite album covers of all time, now with added tacos photoshopped in. The off-the-wall Tumblr blog appears to be the work of the pranksters of the Hood Internet, and it's a fun, goofy way to relive some classic album art. With tacos.
What's weird is how at-home the tacos look in many of the images. Just look at that Sonic Youth cover -- can you even picture it without a taco now? Or have a look at this:
If Warhol had had a different lunch, this could be the cover of the Velvet Underground's classic debut. On the other hand, some are just ... bizarre, like this taco-headed Neutral Milk Hotel cover.
There's more than two dozen others to enjoy over at Album Tacos, and it's a fine way to spend your lunch hour. Now, if you'll excuse us, it's time for our lunch. We're suddenly very hungry -- for tacos.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
