A quick bit of fun - My fiance had a wonderful idea last night. She'd gifted me a set of 1" pinback buttons of my favorite ambient and kosmische musik album covers for Christmas, but we'd yet to find a place to sport them.
I'd also previously make a set of 24 of my own 1 1/4" buttons for my record tote, but my tastes have become so specialized that the majority of my purchases have been imports from Germany, the UK, and the Nordic nations.
Her solution - dress up my desktop! The result is a blend of DIY punk culture (the pinback aesthetic), with a touch of academic sophistication, (mathematically-designated equidistant positioning paired with 20th century minimalist and experimental music subject matter).
Fun fact: Pressing the "Vinyl kills the MP3 industry" button turns the monitor on and off.
Hi-res for the curious
