#295 The Best Album of 1989, Round 1 Match #51: Camper Van Beethoven vs. Ice-T

Best Album Brackets Logo #2.jpg

Hey folks!

First pic: A extremely blurry photograph of three smiling people, presumably members of Camper Van Beethoven. They appear to be standing in front of some kind of statue, but the picture is so blurry and overexposed and manipulated that I'm not sure what it is or even if it's really there. The overall color of the photo is an extremely light brown-orange. Second pic: A very skatepunk/high-school level drawing of a Black man, in a black tank top and black LA Raiders baseball cap, with a shotgun shoved in his mouth, and with a gun pressed against each side of his head. The guns are all held by black-gloved hands. The Black man is sweating profusely, and a tear wells up in his right eye.
