Bootsy Collins in 3D (sort of)

Here’s to the Drive-By Truckers, loud rock and roll and beer in plastic cups.

“Rock and roll means well/but it can’t help telling young boys lies.”

Hey, Funkateers, surely you’re awareBootsy Collins has a new record coming out and that I stole Funkateers from him. Ahem. Bootsy, left, does indeed have a new record coming out. It’s called the Funk Capitol of the World. It’s a concept record about Ames, Iowa.

It’s so cool its album cover has its own press release:

“While supplies last, CDs of Bootsy Collins’ new album ‘Tha Funk Capital of the World’ (out 4/26) will be available with eye-popping holographic 3D album art designed by Roy Koch, Mascot Records’ in-house artist. Bootsy says, ‘The album cover art work breathes like it is a living being/city… it’s alive.’ “

Just like Ames, Iowa.

Watch the cover of Funk Capitol breathe. [ http://www.shorefire.com/media/Bootsy-Cover_Animated_20110308_152751.gif ]
