Return of the Shot Spotter

I've written about this blog once before, but it really bears repeating.

Bob Egan and I may not have very many favorite artists in common, but DAMN if I don’t ever love the hell out of Bob’s blog, PopSpots NYC. Y’see, while I like to go on little adventures to try and pinpoint the exact locations of various album cover photo shoots (as I’ve done here), I am purely a sniveling little dilettante compared to Bob Egan. Bob is a MASTER at this, and the work he puts into each image is nothing short of maddeningly exhaustive. The sheer amount of technical minutia Bob goes over in locating the ludicrously precise spots boasts the same scrupulous attention to insane detail normally found in obsessive scrutiny of the Zapruder film. Even if you don’t give a flying fig about artists like Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen, it’s really fascinating stuff. I mean, it’s so brilliant that I almost fear for Bob’s sanity. Go check it out at once.
