Here’s something rad that might just get your music geek on.
Listen up, all you music fans out there (and, I mean, who isn’t?!), British newspaper The Guardian recently put together and published a collection of images that features famous albums covers superimposed in Google Street View.
The man responsible for this series is Halley Docherty, The Guardian’s Google Street View Specialist (up until now, I didn’t even know this title exists). He’s done these street view collages before, publishing similar series twice before but using classic world and London paintings instead.
In his third series, he’s taken covers of some of everybody’s all-time favorite classic LPs, from The Beatles to Beastie Boys, from Bob Dylan and Led Zep to Eminem and The Streets, overlaying them onto their modern-day location counterparts as pictured in Google Street View. He has even taken the time to add some commentaries to each of his superimposed creations.
Not only is this series so good, its concept is so simple I don’t know why anybody’s ever thought of it before, considering a good few spend hours browsing through Google Maps. But we can spend our all our time arguing about the whys or we can just check out the awesome images from this series after the jump. And if you love these, maybe you should go and check out Docherty’s other Google Street View series here.
