Hey, if you don’t have a band, you duplicate yourself. No one will notice for a long, looong time.

Listen ass-hat, no one cares. You clearly just googled the album covers and then copied what someone else said about them – it was just luck you were first to point it out on this site.

And, yes people do read posts, so we’ve seen you post the same thing 5 times now. Anyone that thought you were cool after you first pointed that out now thinks you’re a royal douchebag.

If you ever actually listened to this band, you would realize how foolish that comment is…

Redundant, like, say, constantly repeating the fact that you are oh so wise and special because you were the first, third, and four hundredth person to point out the source of the album art? How meta.

Neil. are you seriously going to keep pointing out the fact that you were the “first” to point out the original source of the homage? It’s not necessary. Douchebag.

hahaha I guess he REALLY wants the credit for this one. Hopkins is that you?

I totally beat you to that. See below. Doesn’t anybody read the posts before becoming Commander Redundant?

Right on. See the “this monument totally looks like this sewing machine” for a proper example.

I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on the Paulo Nutini album as well. I had forgotten about it. I didn’t know about the original from the 50’s. That makes sense.

I wasn’t trying to show off my “esoteric tastes in music.” I thought that Black Joe Lewis had ripped off Brimstone Howl and gotten away with it. Therefore, it’s funny (to me).

Is this “Again” guy the same guy that said doing hard drugs is better than playing a video game?

Also, good job being both racist and wrong.

Or, each is a hommage to yet a third album of which you may be unaware. Like, maybe something done by blues legend Lightnin’ Hopkins.

Both an homage to http://www.oldheaven.com/eWebEditor/UploadFile/2008-8/20080825181410111.jpg

If this should ever happen again, tell the professor that it isn’t plagiarism…just an obvious homage.

By: Revenante

Revenante — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:24:17 +0000

Can we just remember the very first word on this site – “funny”? These pictures of “homages” or “plagiarisms” which are clearly intentional may be clever or show off a person’s esoteric tastes in music or books, but they aren’t in the slightest way funny.

Rant over, move along, nuthin’ to see here…

an unknown band’s plagiarized album cover totally looks like another unknown band’s plagiarized album cover, which totally looks like another unknown band’s plagiarized album cover.
It doesn’t get much more pathetic than this.

Semi-related, I really love that Black Joe Lewis album.

I played the vinyl copy on my college radio station once and totally f-bombed the world like 5 times lol

Actually, Lightnin’ Hopkins was first.

LOL both of those look like this album cover ^

By: TJ

Sorry, but you don’t do a homage to an album that is less than 2 years old. If one of the albums was 20 years old I’d agree with you, but in this case it’s either laziness or plagiarism.

So basically nobody is original since 1950. LOL

Here be the answer to your riddle folks. Released in the late 50’s I do believe.

er, Black Joe LEWIS. Damn boxer confusing me.

By: Daniel

Paolo Nutini were first.

By: Neil

Neil — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 20:02:36 +0000

All of you are wrong. The Black Joe Louis EP was originally released in 2007 on CD on his own label and then re-released in 2009 on vinyl on the Lost Highway label (source: AMG). Both are homages to a Lightnin’ Hopkins LP from 1959. Coincidental that they both had the same idea. Go to allmusic.com and look it up. Then stamp FAIL on this totally-looks-like and put it on failblog. Do your research first. And look up homage in the dictionary!

Actually, the Brimstone Howl album came out first…

By: Daniel

Daniel — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:28:55 +0000

According to Amazon.com, Paolo Nutini’s These Streets album’s original release date is September 5, 2006.

So, what we have:
* Paolo Nutini’s These Streets album – 2006
* Black Joe Lewis’s album – 2009
* Brimstone Howl album – 2007

Another case of nerdy white kids plagiarizing talented black folks… Nothing to see here. Just laugh at the pathetic attempt to be hip and soulful as you pass the geeky white nerd.

I agree. All the plagiarism people find here, it boggles the mind.

Then again, I’ve had other students out and out copy my work in class, and have my professors think nothing of it. Yet if I was a writer, it would be an entirely different story. weird.

By: t

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 18:53:51 +0000

the more i visit totally looks like the more i wonder how these people get away with plagiarizing/copyright.

i didn’t put three sentences in quotations in a college paper (simple mistake, btw) and i failed the entire course.
not to mention it was the final week of the class.

i don’t think they even design their own covers. so the fail goes to the album artist

I think Bio knows that, it was KC who had it the other way around (if it matters).

Black Joe Lewis’s album came out 2009, Brimstone Howl was 2007. Let’s make sure we know who was creative and who was a plagiarist.
