Gary Burden, that great designer of album covers such as Joni Mitchell's Blue and Neil Young's After the Gold Rush, just got $75 million from Sony to make a movie of The Monkey Wrench Gang, the rights to which he's owned for 17 years. Catherine Hardwicke will direct. Burden promises exploding bridges, Hayduke winching his Jeep over the cliff and Karo syrup will all remain in the picture.
Gary's also just put out a "booklet" of album covers printed on ecologically friendly, Rainforest Alliance approved, FSC certified paper with Domtar Paper of Canada and L.A.'s InSync Media. I still don't get exactly why they did it, but it's cool.
