Of Montreal's A Celebration of H. Hare Artwork

Published Wednesday, April 05, 2006 by Jeff | E-mail this post

Chris, a good friend of this site, has sent along this really cool photo of a framed piece of David Barnes art he recently obtained from Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. It's the original artwork used for an insert in the Of Montreal HHBTM single "A Celebration of H. Hare" (the one with the infamous "Hitler" track). If you have one of these singles, you probably just got a black-and-white photocopy of the art folded to fit into the sleeve. The original is a bit more spectacular (the frame and the cloud-matting is by Mike of HHBTM). Thanks to Chris for sharing this, and you can all be jealous of him now.

Click on the thumbnail for a close-up. The names of the tracks are: (1) A Celebration of H. Hare; (2) The Self-Centered Stepmother Forces Her Husband to Tell His Son to Stop Working with Power Tools in the Basement; (3) Hitler, Being Punished for Obvious Reasons, is Forced to Spend Eternity Plagued by an Intense Unrelenting Physical and Emotional Fatigue That is Further Compounded by an Innumerable Multitude of Obnoxious Grandchildren Who are Constantly Present and Who Irritate Him to Such an Extreme That Not the Slightest Degree of Rest is Attainable. You can download the last 2 tracks as 1 MP3 here.
