#342 The Best Album of 1989, Round 2 Match #90: Camper Van Beethoven vs. Michael Penn

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: This is a painting. In the middle is a kind of beige parchment with "Michael Penn" and "MARCH" on it. On either side of the parchment are two figures. On the left is a woman with bird wings holding an hour glass. On the right is a bald man, also possibly with wings, holding a red drum and a drumstick; he has a slightly sinister, even demonic, look on his face. They are sitting on a white fabric that suggests snow.
